6 / 801 results- How does Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) differ from DHT-blocking treatments for androgenic alopecia? VEGF promotes blood vessel growth, while DHT-blocking treatments reduce hormone effects on hair follicles.
- What is Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF), and how does it support hair growth in alopecia? VEGF promotes hair growth by enhancing blood supply to hair follicles.
- Is Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) available as a topical treatment, or is it only stimulated indirectly? VEGF is not available as a topical treatment for hair loss.
- What is Platelet-Derived Growth Factor Beta Polypeptide, and how does it help stimulate new hair growth? PDGF-BB is a growth factor that signals to dermal papilla cells and promotes blood-vessel formation; mouse studies report it can push follicles into the growth phase, and human evidence comes only indirectly from PRP trials. No PDGF product is approved for hair restoration and there is no published human trial of PDGF-BB on its own.
- What is stem cell factor and why is it used in hair growth treatments? Stem cell factor promotes hair growth by signaling cell survival and division.

Research
5 / 1000+ resultsresearch Genetically null mice reveal a central role for epidermal growth factor receptor in the differentiation of the hair follicle and normal hair development.
In this study, disrupting the epidermal growth factor receptor in mice led to abnormal hair and skin development, characterized by disorganized hair follicles and systemic disease, providing a model for understanding EGFR's role in skin biology.
research Recent advances in the epidermal growth factor receptor/ligand system biology on skin homeostasis and keratinocyte stem cell regulation
This review discusses the role of the EGF receptor/ligand system in skin homeostasis and its implications for keratinocyte stem cells and reports no new clinical results.
research Epidermal Growth Factor as a Biologic Switch in Hair Growth Cycle
This study found that continuous expression of epidermal growth factor in transgenic mice prevented hair follicles from entering the catagen phase, implicating EGF as a crucial regulator in hair cycle progression.
research Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Inhibitors: A Review of Cutaneous Adverse Events and Management
This review discusses the presentation and management of skin toxicity from epidermal growth factor inhibitors, highlighting a correlation between cutaneous adverse effects and tumor response, but reports no new clinical results.
research 2,3,7,8‐Tetrachlorodibenzo‐p‐dioxin causes an increase in protein kinases growth hepatic associated with epidermal factor receptor in the plasma membrane
In this study, TCDD administered to male rats down-regulated EGF receptor in liver plasma membranes and increased protein kinase activity, suggesting EGF receptor–mediated toxicological effects.

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 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 Everything you ever wanted to know about Pelage Pharma's PP405: how it works and what to expect
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 My microneedling journey (no min, fin, etc)
The user experienced positive hair growth results using microneedling with rosemary and mint oil, without Minoxidil, Finasteride, or RU58841. They switched from a dermaroller to a microneedling pen and targeted different scalp areas weekly.
community Scalp slapping to increase blood flow?
This post and conversation are about using scalp slapping to increase blood flow for hair growth. One user suggests using minoxidil instead.
