5 / 1000+ resultsresearch Expression of a dominant negative mutant of epidermal growth factor receptor in the epidermis of transgenic mice elicits striking alterations in hair follicle development and skin structure.
Blocking EGFR in mice causes hair loss and skin changes.
research Selective Modulation of Hedgehog/GLI Target Gene Expression by Epidermal Growth Factor Signaling in Human Keratinocytes
This study found that EGFR signaling modulates GLI target gene expression, potentially influencing outer root sheath cell specification and hair growth, and may have implications for cancer.
research Follicular and epidermal alterations in patients treated with ZD1839 (Iressa), an inhibitor of the epidermal growth factor receptor
This study reports that ZD1839 (Iressa), an anticancer drug, was associated with acneiform eruptions and hair growth abnormalities due to its inhibition of epidermal growth factor receptor signaling in the skin.
research Effects of in vivo-administered 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin on receptor binding of epidermal growth factor in the hepatic plasma membrane of rat, guinea pig, mouse, and hamster.
This study found that TCDD significantly reduced EGF receptor binding in various animal models, linked to toxic symptoms like weight loss and developmental delays, with receptor phosphorylation persisting several days.
research Classification and management of skin, hair, nail and mucosal side-effects of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitors
This review discusses the classification, pathogenesis, and management of skin, hair, nail, and mucosal changes due to EGFR inhibitors, emphasizing the importance of informing patients to improve therapy compliance.

5 / 61 resultscommunity Does applying Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) make a difference in hair growth?
Applying Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) topically may improve skin and potentially promote scalp health and hair growth, especially after microneedling. The user shares their positive experience with EGF and provides a product link.
community 4 months, only Minoxidil 5% ,dermarolling twice a week. hair growth results. any suggestions?
Significant hair growth was achieved using Minoxidil 5% and dermarolling twice a week, with suggestions to add finasteride for maintenance. There is debate on when to apply Minoxidil after dermarolling to avoid irritation.
community PP405: The Ultimate Hair Loss Drug for Complete Hair Growth
PP405 is a new hair loss treatment in phase 2 trials that may promote hair growth by increasing lactate production and activating hair follicle stem cells. It could potentially replace hormone-disrupting treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride.
community Confused why people are calling PP405 a cure...it never claimed to be able to undo miniaturization or revert vellus back to terminal hairs. It seems to be more of a growth stimulant like minoxidil.
PP405 is not a cure for hair loss but may reactivate dormant hair follicles, similar to minoxidil. It is unlikely to help with miniaturized or vellus hairs and is still in trial phases, with availability expected around 2030.
community People who don’t microneedle, why?
Microneedling is often combined with minoxidil for hair growth, but concerns about scalp damage, pain, and effectiveness deter some users. Alternatives like finasteride, dutasteride, tretinoin, and laser treatments are preferred by others.
