research The Role of the VEGF, KGF, EGF, and TGF-β1 Growth Factors in the Pathogenesis of Telogen Effluvium in Women

5 citations , March 2017 in “Biomedical and Pharmacology Journal”

This article discusses the concept of telogen effluvium, introduced in 1961, characterized by diffuse scalp hair loss due to various triggers, and reports no new clinical findings.

research Research progress and strategies for the biosynthesis of keratinocyte growth factor-2 (KGF-2) in Arabidopsis thaliana

May 2025 in “PeerJ”

This review discusses the potential of using Arabidopsis thaliana to express fusion protein TDP1-KGF-2, aiming to enhance the transdermal delivery of KGF-2 for hair growth applications, despite current challenges with production costs and efficacy.

research FCP 3 : Platelet rich plasma induced hair growth in alopecia patients partially through dermal papilla cell proliferation, BCl-2 and KGF up-regulation

January 2014 in “프로그램북(구 초록집)”

This study found that platelet-rich plasma injections followed by mesotherapy improved hair count and thickness in alopecia patients, with no significant side effects reported.

research Hair growth induction by the tellurium immunomodulator AS101: association with delayed terminal differentiation of follicular keratinocytes and ras‐dependent up‐regulation of KGF expression

51 citations , December 2003 in “The FASEB Journal”

This study reports that AS101 induced hair growth in mice and suggests potential for treating chemotherapy-induced alopecia in humans, which was observed in case report studies with three adolescents.

research KGF and EGF signalling block hair follicle induction and promote interfollicular epidermal fate in developing mouse skin

82 citations , May 2009 in “Development”

This study found that downregulation of EGF and KGF signaling is necessary for hair follicle initiation in placodes, revealing a new role for KGF in hair follicle formation in mice.

community Anti-oxidants that reverse hairloss?

86 upvotes 5 years ago

Resveratrol and fisetin, found in red wine and strawberries, may promote hair growth by affecting hair follicle cells. Users discuss various treatments, including natural remedies like saw palmetto and topical applications, with mixed opinions on their effectiveness compared to pharmaceuticals like finasteride.

community Everything you ever wanted to know about Pelage Pharma's PP405: how it works and what to expect

126 upvotes 3 months ago

PP405 may encourage earlier hair growth and slightly increase visible hair count but does not reverse hair follicle miniaturization in male pattern baldness. It does not address damage to the dermal papilla or broken Wnt signaling.

community Subcutaneous Scalp fat and Hair loss? Interested in others annecdotal experience or knowledge.

6 upvotes 3 years ago

Subcutaneous scalp fat may be linked to hair loss, with theories suggesting that fat loss can lead to reduced blood flow and increased DHT activity, contributing to hair loss. Treatments discussed include PRP/PRF injections and fat transfer to improve scalp thickness and blood flow.

community Experiment with Growth Factors and Microneedling

4 upvotes 11 months ago

The conversation is about experimenting with microneedling and growth factor topicals for hair growth, avoiding Minoxidil due to shedding concerns. The treatment includes microneedling, growth factor topicals, finasteride, biotin, and a caffeine shampoo.

community Wtf have we been doing for the last 30 years

in Treatment 548 upvotes 1 year ago

Hair loss treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and dutasteride work but have side effects. A permanent cure is still not available due to the complexity of hair loss and limited investment.
