research Human hair growth in vitro: a model for the study of hair follicle biology

133 citations , July 1994 in “Journal of Dermatological Science”

In this study, the researchers developed an in vitro model that maintains human hair follicles to grow at in vivo rates and observed that factors like EGF and IGF-I influence hair follicle growth and catagen entry.

research The microfollicle: a model of the human hair follicle for in vitro studies

16 citations , November 2020 in “In Vitro Cellular & Developmental Biology - Animal”

This study explored the use of "microfollicles," a human hair follicle organoid model, as an in vitro tool for testing hair-growth substances, finding up to 75% overlap in gene expression changes with human clinical biopsy responses to minoxidil, indicating its potential for pre-clinical substance testing.

research Establishment of an in vitro organoid model of dermal papilla of human hair follicle

44 citations , June 2018 in “Journal of Cellular Physiology”

This study found that using 3D dermal papilla spheroid models enhances extracellular matrix production and hair follicle marker expression, providing insights into hair follicle biology and potential for drug screening.

research LB821 Human hair follicle dermal papilla as an in vitro model to study stress-induced hair growth arrest

August 2021 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

This study highlights that stress-induced activation of the HPA axis in human hair follicles can lead to hair growth arrest, but variability in follicle response complicates potential therapeutic approaches.

research Identification of human hair follicle antigens targeted in the presumptive autoimmune hair follicle disorder alopecia areata and their potential functional relevance in vitro : methods development for isolation and identification of alopecia areata-relevant human hair follicle antigens using a proteomics approach and their functional assessment using an ex vivo hair follicle organ culture model

January 2008 in “Bradford Scholars (University of Bradford)”

This study supports that an antibody response against anagen-specific hair follicle antigens, including trichohyalin and keratin 16, may play a role in alopecia areata.

community Could coffee contribute to hair loss?

4 upvotes 4 years ago

Coffee may negatively impact hair health due to its vasoconstrictor effects, potential to increase DHT, and interference with nutrient absorption. There is no strong clinical evidence linking caffeine to hair loss or regrowth in humans, but moderation is advised.

community Intermittent fasting triggers hair loss in study (suppresses hair follicle regeneration)

in Research/Science 241 upvotes 8 months ago

Intermittent fasting may suppress hair follicle regeneration, but opinions vary on its impact on hair loss. Some users report no negative effects or even hair improvement while using treatments like finasteride and minoxidil.

community We already know how to permanently fix hair loss. The science is done. The only thing missing is the funding to run one experiment.

in Technology 613 upvotes 4 months ago

A permanent hair loss solution could involve reprogramming hair follicles to resist DHT using mRNA and siRNA. However, high costs, safety concerns, and the pharmaceutical industry's preference for ongoing treatments over one-time cures are major obstacles, with finasteride and minoxidil remaining standard treatments.

community Peptides that Stop Hair Loss? | In-depth Literature Review Video

76 upvotes 2 years ago

Peptides like TB500, KPV, GHK-CU, and BPC-157 are overhyped for hair growth with limited proven effectiveness in humans. Combining peptides with delivery methods like iontophoresis and sonophoresis shows promise, but many claims remain unproven.

community Is DHT actually the cause of male pattern hair loss or just a correlating factor? Why I think the research is more complicated than we're told and why I've been looking into GHK-Cu

78 upvotes 4 months ago

DHT is not the only cause of male pattern hair loss; genetic sensitivity, inflammation, and fibrosis also contribute. GHK-Cu, a copper peptide, is being explored as an alternative treatment to finasteride and minoxidil, showing potential in improving follicle health.

learn KY19382

Experimental compound that activates hair-growth signals, tested only in animals

How does KY19382 actually stimulate dormant hair follicles to grow again? In mouse and cell studies, KY19382 reactivated hair follicles via Wnt/β-catenin signalling; it has never been tested in humans.

learn Follistatin

What is follistatin, and how does it influence hair follicle growth and regeneration? Follistatin blocks activin and related growth-inhibiting proteins, which mouse studies link to hair follicle development and cycling; the only verifiable human evidence is a single small 2011 phase 1 injection trial, so follistatin remains experimental and is not an approved hair-loss treatment.
Are there any clinical studies supporting follistatin as a hair loss treatment? There is no controlled human trial showing follistatin treats hair loss; the published work is mouse and laboratory biology on the activin/follistatin signalling system, plus one small 2011 phase 1 injection study of a combination product, so follistatin remains experimental and unapproved.

learn SCUBE3

How does SCUBE3 work on hair follicles compared to treatments like minoxidil or finasteride? Laboratory research in mice reports that SCUBE3, a protein released by dermal papilla cells, signals dormant follicles to grow through the TGF-β pathway downstream of Hedgehog; minoxidil and finasteride instead work on blood flow to the follicle and on DHT, and unlike SCUBE3 they have decades of human trial data behind them. SCUBE3 has not been tested in human clinical trials and is not available as a medicine.
