5 / 194 resultsresearch Topical Prostaglandin Analogues in Androgenetic Alopecia: A Systematic Review of Clinical Evidence
This review concluded that while topical prostaglandin analogues show some potential in treating androgenetic alopecia, evidence is still limited and no products have regulatory approval.
research Prostaglandin D2 Inhibits Wound-Induced Hair Follicle Neogenesis through the Receptor, Gpr44
This study found that PGD2 inhibits hair follicle regeneration in mice through the Gpr44 receptor, suggesting that blocking PGD2 or Gpr44 may enhance skin regeneration after wounds.
research The role of dexamethasone in mediating the contradictory effects of Wnt antagonists SFRP2 and SFRP3 on human hair follicle growth
In this study, researchers found that the synthetic stress hormone dexamethasone caused opposite effects on hair growth-related proteins, reducing SFRP2 and increasing SFRP3, which respectively stimulate and inhibit hair follicle cell proliferation in human dermal papilla cells.
research Prostaglandin D 2 Inhibits Hair Growth and Is Elevated in Bald Scalp of Men with Androgenetic Alopecia
PGD2 stops hair growth and is higher in bald men with AGA.
