Glossary Hair Growth-Related Proteins

are proteins that regulate and promote hair growth

Hair Growth-Related Proteins are specific proteins that play crucial roles in the regulation and promotion of hair growth. These proteins include keratin, which forms the structural foundation of hair, and growth factors like fibroblast growth factor (FGF) and insulin-like growth factor (IGF), which stimulate hair follicle development and cycling. Understanding these proteins is essential for developing treatments for hair loss conditions such as alopecia.

research Dickkopf-related Protein 2 Promotes Hair Growth by Upregulating the Wnt/β-catenin Signaling Pathway in Human Dermal Papilla Cells

6 citations , January 2024 in “Annals of Dermatology”

In this study, treatment with recombinant DKK2 was shown to significantly stimulate hair progenitor cell growth and enhance hair shaft elongation in ex vivo human hair follicle cultures by activating the Wnt/ẞ-catenin signaling pathway, suggesting a potential role for DKK2 in promoting hair growth.

22 citations , July 2011 in “EFSA journal”

There is not enough evidence to support health claims about soy isoflavones.

research Secreted Frizzled-related protein 4 inhibits the regeneration of hair follicles

7 citations , January 2019 in “PeerJ”

This study found that intradermal injection of Secreted Frizzled-related Protein 4 inhibits, but does not block, hair follicle regeneration in mice, suggesting potential therapeutic applications for hair follicle regeneration disorders.

Hair-Cycle-Dependent Expression of Parathyroid Hormone-Related Protein and Its Type I Receptor: Evidence for Regulation at the Anagen to Catagen Transition

research Hair-Cycle-Dependent Expression of Parathyroid Hormone-Related Protein and its Type I Receptor: Evidence for Regulation at the Anagen to Catagen Transition

52 citations , May 2003 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology”

This study found that overexpression of parathyroid hormone-related protein in mice resulted in 30–40% shorter hair due to premature transition into the catagen phase of the hair cycle.

community What do people think about using a castor oil pack on thinning hair? It is ant-inflammatory has a lot of vitamins and fatty acids..

4 upvotes 8 years ago

Castor oil is being considered for hair thinning, with some users noting it may prevent hair breakage but not affect DHT-related hair loss. Some users report mixed results, with one mentioning increased body hair growth from oral consumption.

community Keratin microspheres - breakthrough

14 upvotes 2 years ago

A gel of keratin microspheres promotes hair follicle growth, showing similar effectiveness to minoxidil in mice. The treatment activates hair growth pathways and reduces inflammation, with potential applications in drug delivery for hair-related disorders.

community Treatment for minoxidil related hair loss

in Treatment 4 months ago

Minoxidil can cause significant hair shedding, especially for those who don't need it, and should be used cautiously under medical advice. Natural remedies like onion, rosemary oil, aloe vera, coconut oil, and a healthy lifestyle can help recover from minoxidil-related hair loss.

community Bloodflow? Does it affect hair growth?

23 upvotes 7 years ago

Hair loss is primarily caused by genetic sensitivity to DHT, not lifestyle factors like diet or exercise. Treatments like Minoxidil and Finasteride can help, but it's important to consult a dermatologist to determine the best approach for individual cases.

community Korean scientists breakthrough in hair regeneration targeting CXXC5 protein and WNT Signaling Pathway

53 upvotes 8 years ago

A potential non-invasive topical treatment targeting the WNT Signaling Pathway for hair regeneration is being researched, with positive results on human hair follicle cells. Current effective treatments for hair loss include Minoxidil, finasteride, and hair transplantation.

learn Follistatin

What is follistatin, and how does it influence hair follicle growth and regeneration? Follistatin blocks activin and related growth-inhibiting proteins, which in laboratory and animal work is described as keeping hair follicles in their growth phase; the only verifiable human evidence is a single small 2011 phase 1 injection trial, so follistatin remains experimental and is not an approved hair-loss treatment.

learn Pyrithione Zinc

How does pyrithione zinc help reduce dandruff and irritation related to hair loss? Pyrithione zinc reduces dandruff and irritation by inhibiting yeast growth on the scalp.

learn Hair Transplant

What are the risks and side effects of FUE hair transplants? Providers describe most FUE side effects, such as swelling, redness, numbness and shock loss, as temporary, but FUE is surgery and the same sources report pain, infection, folliculitis and small permanent donor-site scars. Longer-lasting problems, including visible donor-area thinning or poor graft growth, are possible and are not covered by this provider survey.
When will I see new hair growth after a hair transplant? New hair growth usually starts 2-4 months after a hair transplant.

learn Centella

Got small bald circles with no warning? Centella creams might calm the area and kickstart new growth. There is no published human trial of Centella asiatica for alopecia areata or any other hair loss; the only hair-related studies are cell-culture work. Community users describe Centella creams as soothing for an irritated scalp, not as regrowth treatments, and a new bald patch needs a doctor's diagnosis first.
