Did you mean Hepatocyte Growth Factor?

GlossaryHepatocyte Growth Factor

protein aiding cell growth, movement, and differentiation

Hepatocyte Growth Factor (HGF), also known as Scatter Factor (SF), is a protein that plays a crucial role in cell growth, movement, and differentiation. It is particularly important in liver regeneration and wound healing, and has been studied for its potential in promoting hair growth and treating conditions like alopecia.

community Opinions on this study for Triphasic Progressive by Rene Furterer

in Research/Science 14 upvotes 2 years ago

The user shared their 5-year hair loss journey, initially using a product called Triphasic Progressive by Rene Furterer, which gave good results. Later, they switched to FDA-approved medications finasteride and minoxidil, which also helped, but they noticed the most significant progress with Triphasic. They're considering trying it again if minoxidil doesn't show improvements.

community The theory that explains everything. Please help me make this big!

in Research/Science 2452 upvotes 4 years ago

The post and conversation are about the role of the enzyme 3alpha-hydroxysteroid reductase in hair loss and the potential of compounds like procyanidin B2 and sulforaphane to boost its activity for hair regrowth. Further research is needed to develop effective treatments based on this theory.

community So we have 20k dollars human like machines available but no new effective treatment for hairloss since finasteride :)

in Chat 237 upvotes 1 year ago

There have been no new effective hair loss treatments since finasteride, despite technological advancements. Current treatments include finasteride, minoxidil, and RU58841, with ongoing challenges and potential future solutions in research.

community Having androgen receptor density and sensitivity at wrong f*ing place

in Satire 7 upvotes 1 year ago

The conversation discusses hair loss treatments, focusing on the use of topical minoxidil, microneedling, finasteride, and dutasteride, while debating the role of testosterone and DHT in hair loss. It also touches on the potential liver health impacts of these treatments and the genetic sensitivity of hair follicles to androgens.
