research Hair Growth Induction: Roles of Growth Factors
EGF and FGF help hair growth by affecting cell differentiation and fiber growth.
research Fibroblast Growth Factors: Key Players in Regeneration and Tissue Repair
Fibroblast Growth Factors (FGFs) are important for tissue repair and regeneration, influencing cell behavior and other factors involved in healing, and are crucial in processes like wound healing, bone repair, and hair growth.
research TGF-β Family Signaling in Epithelial Differentiation and Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition
The TGF-β family helps control how cells change and move, affecting skin, hair, and organ development.
research Haircuts Do Not Cause Cancer: Refuting Misconceptions About Growth Factors and Cancer Risk

The conversation discusses microneedling techniques and the use of Minoxidil, copper peptides, EGF, FGF, ceramides, and hydration serums to enhance hair growth. It explores optimizing scalp conditions and the potential benefits of various compounds in conjunction with microneedling.
community The Real Cause Of Androgenetic Alopecia
Androgenetic alopecia is caused by DHT affecting hair growth. Finasteride and minoxidil are used to manage hair loss by blocking DHT and promoting hair growth.
community New Research- Creatine Increasing Scalp DHT Without Corresponding Serum DHT Increase
Creatine may increase scalp DHT without affecting serum DHT, potentially speeding up male pattern baldness (MPB) for those genetically prone. Treatments mentioned include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
community My Theory Regarding a Cause and Cure for Androgenetic Alopecia
Hair loss theory suggests imbalance between Vitamin D Receptor (VDR) and Androgen Receptor (AR) activation. Proposed treatment includes upregulating VDR, downregulating AR, and improving mitochondrial health.
community A concise, easy-to-understand post on Androgenic Alopecia theory and its practical applications
The mechanism of Androgenic Alopecia and practical applications of treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, RU58841, dermarolling, scalp massages, anti-fungals, progesterone, estrogen, PPAR-γ activators, reducing oxidative stress, and scalp exercises. It explains why DHT is important in AA and how other factors might be involved such as hypoxia, increased DKK-1 expression, morphological changes to the scalp, skull growth during childhood/puberty, and blood flow.
