Glossary Fibroblast Growth Factor

promotes cell growth, tissue repair, and development

Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF) is a family of proteins that play a crucial role in cell growth, tissue repair, and development. One well-known member, FGF-2 or Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor (bFGF), is particularly important for promoting the proliferation and differentiation of cells, including those involved in hair growth and wound healing.

community Crazy growth after adding ostrich oil + microneedling in 2 months. (already on treatment previously)

65 upvotes 3 weeks ago

The user experienced significant hair growth after adding ostrich oil and weekly microneedling to their existing treatment of topical dutasteride and minoxidil. They believe the combination of ostrich oil and microneedling contributed to the results, although some users suggest the increased microneedling frequency might be the main factor.

community Growth factors, VEGF, And more,possible permanent cure for people with moderate hairloss?

3 upvotes 1 year ago

The user discusses using dutasteride to stop hair loss and bimatoprost for regrowth. They plan to use VEGF with hydrogels for potentially permanent hair follicle improvement and suggest PRP as an alternative.

community REVOLUTION in AUGUST: New possibilities according to Dr. Muñoz (pinacidil, cromakalim, diazoxide and nicorandil)

13 upvotes 1 year ago

Dr. Muñoz's discovery suggests that targeting potassium channels in fibroblasts could reactivate hair growth, offering new treatment possibilities for alopecia. Potential strategies include using minoxidil, diazoxide, and other potassium channel openers, as well as bioelectric devices and direct growth factor applications.

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 Serum based on plant extracts boosts hair growth in weeks.

44 upvotes 11 months ago

A serum containing Centella asiatica extracellular vesicles, IGF-1, FGF-7, and caffeine significantly improved hair thickness, density, length, and reduced hair loss after 56 days. The conversation also discusses how treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and ketoconazole address different aspects of hair loss by reducing DHT, improving blood flow, and lowering inflammation.

signaling protein that, when suppressed, may grow hair by reducing inflammation and stem cell loss

hormone commonly taken for sleep aid has some topical benefits for hair

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.

learn Follistatin

What is follistatin, and how does it influence hair follicle growth and regeneration? Follistatin blocks activin and related growth-inhibiting proteins, which in laboratory and animal work is described as keeping hair follicles in their growth phase; the only verifiable human evidence is a single small 2011 phase 1 injection trial, so follistatin remains experimental and is not an approved hair-loss treatment.

learn Stem Cell Factor

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.
