Chinese researchers have successfully created hair follicles in vitro, potentially offering unlimited hair for transplantation and a cure for hair loss. They plan to test these follicles in vivo on humanscalps.
PP405 and ABS-201 are promising treatments for male pattern baldness. PP405 shows rapid hair growth in human trials, while ABS-201 shows significant regrowth in animal studies but is still in early human trials.
Liposomal formulations of finasteride and minoxidil may enhance drug delivery to the skin and hair follicles more effectively than traditional solutions, potentially improving treatment outcomes. However, more human clinical trials are needed to confirm these benefits.
Different minoxidil formulations affect hair growth and side effects. Higher propylene glycol and pH levels improve effectiveness but can cause scalp irritation.
