This study found that the synthetic thyroid hormone receptor modulator KB2115 significantly prolonged the growth phase of human hair follicles in culture without altering mitochondrial activity, suggesting potential as a safer hair loss treatment compared to traditional thyroid hormones.
research [Disorder of hair growth in hyperprolactinemia].
This study observed that functional hyperprolactinemia in several women was associated with skin symptoms such as seborrhea, acne, and hair-related issues, resembling androgen-induced conditions.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Circadian rhythm disruption and its potential impact on hair growth cycles
Poor sleep quality may affect hair growth cycles by disrupting the body's natural clock and stress hormones. The focus should be on improving sleep to support overall health, including hair growth, rather than relying solely on treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, or RU58841.
community PP405: The Ultimate Hair Loss Drug for Complete Hair Growth
PP405 is a new hair loss treatment in phase 2 trials that may promote hair growth by increasing lactate production and activating hair follicle stem cells. It could potentially replace hormone-disrupting treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride.
community Gland treatment and Crude Oil Massage
Hair loss treatment involves gland treatment with iodine, liver extract, wild American ginseng, and black cohosh, along with crude oil scalp massage. The approach aims to stimulate hormones and improve blood circulation to promote hair growth.
community Androgenetic alopecia is a skin disease: DHT-mediated skin disorders
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) impacts various skin conditions, including Androgenetic alopecia and seborrheic dermatitis, by causing overactivity in sebaceous glands. Topical medications Tacrolimus and Clobetasol can reduce these inflammatory conditions, and treatments like RU58841, Minoxidil, and Finasteride may also be beneficial.
community Confused why people are calling PP405 a cure...it never claimed to be able to undo miniaturization or revert vellus back to terminal hairs. It seems to be more of a growth stimulant like minoxidil.
PP405 is not a cure for hair loss but may reactivate dormant hair follicles, similar to minoxidil. It is unlikely to help with miniaturized or vellus hairs and is still in trial phases, with availability expected around 2030.

6 / 800 results- How does Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) differ from DHT-blocking treatments for androgenic alopecia? VEGF promotes blood vessel growth, while DHT-blocking treatments reduce hormone effects on hair follicles.
- What does Fluridil do on the scalp, and how does it block the DHT hormone? Fluridil is a topical anti-androgen sold in some European countries. One small 2002 trial led by its developer reported more hairs in the growth phase; it is not FDA-approved and the evidence is limited.
- Are there any safety concerns or allergic reactions associated with sh-Polypeptide-7 in topical hair products? sh-Polypeptide-7 is recombinant human growth hormone, and no published human study has tested its safety on the scalp, so its safety is not established. Dermatologists commonly advise patch testing a new scalp product, and people who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have diabetes, a history of cancer or an endocrine condition should ask a doctor first.
- What is sh-Polypeptide-7 and why is it used in some advanced hair serums and treatments? sh-Polypeptide-7 is the cosmetic-ingredient name for recombinant human growth hormone. It is marketed in hair and scalp products, but no published human trial shows that it helps hair growth, and its safety on the scalp has not been studied.
- Is sh-Polypeptide-7 considered a natural or synthetic ingredient, and how is it typically applied? sh-Polypeptide-7 is a synthetic (lab-made) form of human growth hormone, used in some topical skin and hair-care products. There is no published human trial showing that it benefits hair, and its safety on the scalp has not been studied.
