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.

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 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.

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.

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 Breezula phase 3 results said to be released next month

26 upvotes 1 year ago

Breezula's phase 3 results are expected soon, with discussions on the effectiveness of androgen receptor antagonists like spironolactone and the potential of GT20029. Users express skepticism about new treatments and discuss the complexities of male pattern baldness, often relying on finasteride despite its side effects.

community Occipitalis Muscle Tension Theory

13 upvotes 7 months ago

Scalp tension from the occipitalis muscle is theorized to contribute to hair loss, but most believe DHT and genetics are the main causes. Treatments like finasteride and minoxidil are considered more effective than addressing scalp tension.
