research Loss of PIKFyve Kinase Function Driven by Platelet Factor 4 Promoter Results in Platelet Lysosomal Storage Defects and Infiltration of Multiple Organs with Vacuolated Macrophages

November 2011 in “Blood”

This study found that selective deletion of PIKFyve kinase using a PF4 promoter in mice led to defective platelet lysosome biogenesis and a prothrombotic effect, with unexpected macrophage infiltration in multiple organs.

research Effects of Hair Tonic and Food including Korean Medicinal Herbs on Hair Growth in an Alopecia Model of C57BL/6 Mice

2 citations , January 2011 in “The Korea Journal of Herbology”

In this study, the herbal hair tonic and natural food treatment in C57BL/6 mice were associated with increased hair density and thickness compared to controls, suggesting potential hair growth benefits.

Promoting Effects of Herbal Extract Mixtures on Hair Growth in C57BL/6 Mice

research Promoting Effects of Herbal Extracts Mixtures on Hair Growth in C57BL/6 Mice

March 2009 in “Journal of Biomedical Research”

In this study, herbal extract mixtures applied to mice accelerated hair regrowth compared to a control group, suggesting potential hair-growing properties.

research Lineage‐specific requirements of Alx4 function in craniofacial and hair development

4 citations , March 2024 in “Developmental Dynamics”

In this study, researchers used conditional mouse models to show that inactivation of the Alx4 gene in specific cell lineages leads to craniofacial and limb defects without affecting postnatal survival, providing insights into Alx4's role in development and disease.

research Hair regenerative activities of flavonoid-rich extract of Equisetum hyemale L. (Equisetaceae) in chemically-induced alopecia in Sprague Dawley rats

1 citations , January 2019 in “Journal of pharmacy & pharmacognosy research”

This study found that a 2.5% flavonoid-rich extract of Equisetum hyemale promoted hair growth in a rat model of chemically-induced alopecia, showing results comparable to 5% minoxidil.

community Peptides that Stop Hair Loss? | In-depth Literature Review Video

76 upvotes 2 years ago

Peptides like TB500, KPV, GHK-CU, and BPC-157 are overhyped for hair growth with limited proven effectiveness in humans. Combining peptides with delivery methods like iontophoresis and sonophoresis shows promise, but many claims remain unproven.

community How to know if shedding is from tren or minoxidil?

in Minoxidil 5 upvotes 2 years ago

The user started using trenbolone and minoxidil simultaneously and experienced increased hair shedding, unsure which is causing it. Replies suggest both drugs could cause hair loss, with one advising to stop trenbolone to protect hair and another indicating minoxidil is unlikely the cause due to the timing.

community Everything you ever wanted to know about Pelage Pharma's PP405: how it works and what to expect

126 upvotes 2 months ago

PP405 may encourage earlier hair growth and slightly increase visible hair count but does not reverse hair follicle miniaturization in male pattern baldness. It does not address damage to the dermal papilla or broken Wnt signaling.

community Anti-oxidants that reverse hairloss?

86 upvotes 5 years ago

Resveratrol and fisetin, found in red wine and strawberries, may promote hair growth by affecting hair follicle cells. Users discuss various treatments, including natural remedies like saw palmetto and topical applications, with mixed opinions on their effectiveness compared to pharmaceuticals like finasteride.

community Prevention of age-related beard graying in humans by the topical application of Eriodictyon angustifolium extract

5 upvotes 4 years ago

Topical application of Eriodictyon angustifolium extract can prevent and reverse age-related beard graying and darken gray hair by increasing melanin production. Sterubin, a component of the extract, also promotes hair pigmentation and protects cells from DNA damage.

learn Hair Transplant

Hair transplantation moves DHT-resistant follicles from a donor area (back and sides of the scalp) into thinning or bald areas. The transplanted hair is generally permanent, though surrounding native hair can keep thinning.

learn Alopecia Areata

autoimmune disorder causing patchy hair loss

learn Alfatradiol

Alfatradiol: Can it help if my hair loss is linked to DHT? The one randomised trial of topical alfatradiol — in 103 women — found hair thickness and density essentially unchanged after six months, while minoxidil improved both; its authors credited alfatradiol with slowing hair loss rather than regrowing hair. Laboratory work supports a local effect on follicular DHT, but no controlled trial in men appears to have been published.

learn Finasteride

Finasteride for alopecia: the definitive guide to using it correctly. Finasteride 1 mg daily blocks DHT and, in trials, slowed hair loss in most men over 6 to 12 months, though some men do not respond and the benefit lasts only while the drug is taken. It is prescription-only and carries a pregnancy contraindication.
Does hair strand thickness decrease in men with androgenic alopecia? Can finasteride help restore it? Androgenic alopecia thins hair strands by miniaturizing follicles. The pivotal finasteride trials (1,553 men, 1 mg/day, two years) report increased hair counts and improved assessed appearance, but they measured density, not the diameter of individual strands, so the effect on thickness itself is not established.

learn Azelaic Acid

azelaic acid: Does it work for all types of hair loss or just DHT? One small randomised trial (26 women) found 5% azelaic acid comparable to 2% minoxidil for female pattern hair loss, and the anti-DHT rationale rests on laboratory work; for alopecia areata, telogen effluvium and seborrhoeic dermatitis there is no trial evidence for azelaic acid at all.

learn Bicalutamide

Can bicalutamide stop DHT from shrinking your hair follicles? Bicalutamide blocks androgens at the receptor rather than lowering DHT, and some dermatologists prescribe it off-label for women with pattern hair loss. The published evidence is retrospective case series and one small pilot study, with no randomized trial; it is a prescription drug that requires liver monitoring and is contraindicated in pregnancy.
