research Improving the Mechanical Properties of Damaged Hair Using Low-Molecular Weight Hyaluronate

1 citations , November 2022 in “Molecules/Molecules online/Molecules annual”

This study found that low-molecular-weight hyaluronate significantly improved the mechanical strength and elastic modulus of overbleached hair by enhancing hydrogen bond networks within keratin.

research Lipid-based nanoparticles for topical delivery of hair growth therapeutic molecules

October 2017 in “Doctoral thesis, UCL (University College London).”

This study developed and tested nanostructured lipid carriers for topical dutasteride delivery, finding them stable, low in cytotoxicity and non-irritating, with no drug permeation through pig ear skin over 48 hours.

research Molecular Dissection of Mesenchymal–Epithelial Interactions in the Hair Follicle

417 citations , September 2005 in “PLoS biology”

This study developed molecular signatures for dermal papilla cells and their niche, uncovering novel signaling regulators and genes linked to hair disorders, which may inform future hair development research.

research Biochemical approach on the conservation of drug molecules during hair fiber formation

82 citations , January 1997 in “Forensic science international”

This article presents a biochemical model to explain how drug molecules are incorporated into hair, highlighting factors such as drug melanin affinity and the role of physico-chemical properties.

research A discourse on human hair fibers and reflections on the conservation of drug molecules

47 citations , June 1996 in “International Journal of Legal Medicine”

This article discusses how drug molecules integrate into hair fibers, focusing on biological transport mechanisms and physicochemical factors, but reports no new experimental findings.

community Another molecular pathway to promote scarless healing and regenerate hair follicles

14 upvotes 8 months ago

Carnosic acid in rosemary extract may enhance skin repair and promote hair follicle regeneration. It could be used alone or with verteporfin for scarless healing after dermal wounding.

community Molecule PP405: A Research Team Backed By Google Ventures Has Discovered One Of The Most Promising Solutions For Hair Loss To Date

in Research/Science 479 upvotes 1 year ago

PP405 is a promising new treatment for hair loss that activates dormant stem cells in hair follicles, potentially bypassing the effects of DHT. It is currently in phase 2 trials and could be available between 2027 and 2030, but it is not considered a definitive cure.

community UCLA scientists found a molecule — PP405 — that wakes up sleeping hair follicles and tells them, “Do your job.”

1350 upvotes 1 year ago

PP405 is a promising molecule that may reactivate dormant hair follicles, potentially offering a new treatment for hair loss. It is in phase 2 trials, with possible availability between 2027 and 2030.

community Did Scientists Just Cure Baldness? UCLA’s New Molecule Could Revolutionize Hair Growth

559 upvotes 1 year ago

PP405 shows promise for hair growth but may need continuous use like Minoxidil. Current treatments include Minoxidil, finasteride, and dutasteride, with skepticism about a true cure due to financial interests.

community Published in Nature: Osteopontin, a protein involved in the growth of hair on moles could be the key to our troubles.

13 upvotes 3 years ago

Osteopontin, a protein involved in hair growth on moles, may help with hair loss. However, it is also linked to Alzheimer's, cancer, and bone development, so caution is advised.

learn Hair Fibers

Do hair fibers really make thinning hair look fuller, or is it just an illusion? Hair fibers create an optical illusion of fullness but do not actually thicken hair.
How do you apply hair fibers correctly so they stay in place all day? Apply hair fibers to clean, dry hair and use a setting spray for better hold.
Can hair fibers be used along with medical treatments like minoxidil or finasteride? Yes, hair fibers can be used with minoxidil or finasteride without any chemical interaction.
