Glossary Hypoxia-Inducible Factor 1-alpha

protein that helps cells adapt to low oxygen levels

Hypoxia-Inducible Factor 1-alpha (HIF-1α) is a protein that helps cells respond to low oxygen levels (hypoxia). It activates various genes that enable cells to adapt to hypoxic conditions, such as those involved in increasing blood supply and altering metabolism. This protein is crucial in processes like wound healing and can also play a role in diseases like cancer, where it can help tumors grow by improving their oxygen supply.

This study found that cepharanthine and its structural analogues may stimulate hair growth by promoting the proliferation of human dermal papilla cells and increasing VEGF expression in vitro.

research Overexpression of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α in hidradenitis suppurativa: the link between deviated immunity and metabolism

5 citations , March 2023 in “Archives of dermatological research”

This study found that hidradenitis suppurativa is associated with increased serum levels of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α, suggesting its role in the disease's pathogenesis and as a treatment target.

research Hypoxia inducible factor-1α promotes trichogenic gene expression in human dermal papilla cells

2 citations , January 2023 in “Scientific Reports”

This study found that HIF-1α suppression in dermal papilla cells of androgenetic alopecia patients reduces the expression of trichogenic genes, suggesting it as a potential target for hair loss treatment.

research Hypoxia inducible factor-1a promotes trichogenic gene expression in human dermal papilla cells

1 citations , November 2022 in “Research Square (Research Square)”

community A concise, easy-to-understand post on Androgenic Alopecia theory and its practical applications

92 upvotes 4 years ago

The mechanism of Androgenic Alopecia and practical applications of treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, RU58841, dermarolling, scalp massages, anti-fungals, progesterone, estrogen, PPAR-γ activators, reducing oxidative stress, and scalp exercises. It explains why DHT is important in AA and how other factors might be involved such as hypoxia, increased DKK-1 expression, morphological changes to the scalp, skull growth during childhood/puberty, and blood flow.

community PP405 Won't Work Long Term: Hair Follicle Damage Due to Abuse of the ISR System

67 upvotes 11 months ago

PP405 may damage hair follicles if used long-term, suggesting cycling might be necessary. Combining it with finasteride could help maintain hair growth.
