research Advances in Understanding Hair Growth
Understanding glycans and enzymes that alter them is key to controlling hair growth.
research In Vitro Hair Follicle Growth Model for Drug Testing
Researchers developed a new method to test hair growth drugs and found that adult cells are best for hair growth, but the method needs improvement as it didn't create mature hair follicles.
research Techniques for the Discovery and Evaluation of Drugs Against Alopecia
We need better treatments for hair loss, and while test-tube methods are helpful, they can't fully replace animal tests for evaluating new hair growth treatments.
research Culture of the Human Pilosebaceous Unit, Hair Follicle, and Sebaceous Gland
The article concludes that developing in vitro models for human hair structures is important for research and reducing animal testing, but there are challenges like obtaining suitable samples and the models' limitations.
research Hair Follicular Cell/Organ Culture in Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine
Stem cell therapy is a promising approach for hair regrowth despite potential side effects.

User hides baldness with side hair growth, others suggest it looks good but may not work in all conditions. Some recommend starting treatment or considering a hair transplant.
community Peptides that Stop Hair Loss? | In-depth Literature Review Video
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 Yes, most models are absolutely on finasteride
The conversation discusses how many male models and celebrities likely use finasteride to prevent hair loss, with some expressing surprise that it's not just good genetics keeping their hair intact. Specific treatments mentioned include finasteride and, in one query, minoxidil.
community Surprisingly thorough study on He-Shou-Wu/Fo Ti
He Shou Wu (Fo Ti) extract was found to prolong the hair growth phase, inhibit 5-alpha-reductase (like finasteride), reduce androgen receptors, and increase growth factors, potentially outperforming minoxidil in recovering hair follicle size after DHT exposure. Two compounds, emodin and TSG, are identified as responsible for these effects and warrant further investigation.
community Scientists have finally found the potential ‘cure’ for baldness
A new study that found a single chemical could potentially be responsible for hair loss, and the potential to use this discovery to stimulate hair growth. The conversation also includes various treatments such as Minoxidil, Finasteride, RU58841, microneedling, DUT, and Botox for hair loss.
