Retinoic acid, glucocorticoids, and IGF1 increase IGFBP-3 production in human dermal papilla cells, affecting hair growth.
research Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1: Roles in Androgenetic Alopecia
IGF-1 affects hair loss and could be a potential treatment.
research Human Umbilical Cord Blood Mesenchymal Stem Cells Engineered to Overexpress Growth Factors Accelerate Outcomes in Hair Growth
Modified stem cells from umbilical cord blood can make hair grow faster.
research Neuroendocrinology of Epithelial Hair Follicle Stem Cells
Hormones and neuroendocrine factors control hair growth and color, and more research could lead to new hair treatment options.
research Stromal Cells of the Human Postmenopausal Ovary Display a Distinctive Biochemical and Molecular Phenotype

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity A meta analysis of 18 popular hair loss treatments. An 2022 guide on efficacy. From finasteride and minoxidil to caffeine shampoo, saw palmetto and biotin. 96 Scientific References included.
Most hair loss treatments are ineffective; only finasteride, dutasteride, and minoxidil show effectiveness.
community Fats on your Head to Stop Hair Loss?
The conversation discusses the potential of long-chain unsaturated fatty acids, like oleic and linoleic acid, as an additional treatment for hair loss, which may inhibit the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone to DHT and promote hair growth. Users humorously suggest using oils topically and discuss other hair loss treatments, but the main focus is on the science behind fatty acids and their role in hair health.
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 Diffuse hair loss and scalp biopsies
Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
community Nandrolone Replacement Therapy
A user discusses starting nandrolone replacement therapy to stop hair loss and improve hair health, noting its benefits over finasteride. They report halted hair loss, improved skin, increased muscle, and a calm mood after three weeks.
