Glossary Fibroblast Growth Factor 20

protein involved in hair follicle development and cell growth

Fibroblast Growth Factor 20 (FGF20) is a protein that plays a crucial role in cell growth, tissue repair, and development. It is particularly important in the context of hair growth, as it helps regulate the proliferation and differentiation of cells in hair follicles. This makes FGF20 a significant factor in studies related to hair loss and potential treatments for conditions like alopecia.

community DHT Isn’t the Only Factor in Hair Loss and That Might Be the Key to a Real Cure

373 upvotes 6 months ago

Hair loss involves more than just DHT, with genetic factors like TRPS affecting hair follicles. Treatments such as Amplifica's AMP-601 and AMP-303 target stem cells for potential hair growth solutions.

community Comprehensive Microneedling Guide

292 upvotes 4 years ago

Microneedling for hair restoration involves daily use of a 0.3 mm device and weekly use of a 0.5 mm device. Combining microneedling with Minoxidil can enhance hair growth.

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 This is the best time in human history to be fighting hair loss

195 upvotes 4 years ago

This conversation discusses the advancements in treatments for hair loss, including finasteride, dutasteride, minoxidil and new promising treatments such as pyrilutamide and verteporfin. Other treatments discussed were taking minoxidil orally, tretinoin to turn non-responders into responders and microneedling to further boost growth.

community Age-linked hair loss caused by disappearing collagen, researchers say

62 upvotes 6 years ago

Age-linked hair loss is linked to disappearing collagen. Treatments discussed include minoxidil, finasteride, RU58841, tretinoin, microneedling, and collagen supplements.

learn Platelet-Rich Plasma

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.
