Glossary Human Papillomavirus

group of viruses causing warts and potentially cancer

Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is a group of more than 200 related viruses, some of which can cause warts on different parts of the body, including the genitals, while others are associated with various cancers, such as cervical, anal, and oropharyngeal cancers. HPV is primarily transmitted through direct skin-to-skin contact, often during sexual activity, and certain high-risk strains can lead to serious health complications if not monitored or treated.

learn Centella

Not eating well lately and your hair’s falling? A centella-based supplement might give your roots the boost they’re begging for. There is no published human trial showing that an oral Centella asiatica (gotu kola) supplement stops hair shedding caused by poor nutrition; the evidence is laboratory work on dermal papilla cells, inflammation and collagen, and community reports mention centella only in topical products.

learn SCUBE3

a signaling molecule from dermal papilla cells being actively researched

learn Platelet-Rich Plasma

What is Platelet-Derived Growth Factor Beta Polypeptide, and how does it help stimulate new hair growth? PDGF-BB is a growth factor that signals to dermal papilla cells and promotes blood-vessel formation; mouse studies report it can push follicles into the growth phase, and human evidence comes only indirectly from PRP trials. No PDGF product is approved for hair restoration and there is no published human trial of PDGF-BB on its own.
