research The role of protein lactylation in skin diseases: from molecular mechanisms to potential therapeutics

July 2026 in “Frontiers in Immunology”

This review summarizes recent findings on the role of lactylation, a novel post-translational modification, in skin diseases, suggesting its potential as a therapeutic target by linking metabolism, epigenetic regulation, and inflammatory processes.

research Dysregulated behaviour of hair follicle stem cells triggers alopecia and provides potential therapeutic targets

3 citations , May 2022 in “Experimental Dermatology”

This review discusses the role of hair follicle stem cell metabolism, ageing, and microenvironment in hair growth disorders and compiles recent research on using stem cell-based regenerative medicine for treating alopecia, without reporting new clinical results.

research Topical Inhibition of the Electron Transport Chain Can Stimulate the Hair Cycle

11 citations , October 2017 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

This study found that topical application of mitochondrial electron transport chain inhibitors stimulated hair follicle stem cell activation and hair regrowth in aged mice by promoting lactate production.

research A simple assay for the study of human hair follicle damage induced by ionizing irradiation

16 citations , November 2009 in “Experimental dermatology”

This study found that ionizing irradiation significantly inhibits proliferation and induces apoptosis in human hair follicle keratinocytes, suggesting its potential as a preclinical assay system for testing radioprotectants.

research Development of Novel Mitochondrial Pyruvate Carrier Inhibitors to Treat Hair Loss

33 citations , February 2021 in “Journal of Medicinal Chemistry”

This study found that novel MPC inhibitor analogues with specific chemical modifications promoted significant hair growth in shaved mice when applied topically.

community PP405 Identity Research

in Research 292 upvotes 1 year ago

PP405 is a potential hair loss treatment that inhibits mitochondrial pyruvate carriers, increasing lactate dehydrogenase activity and stimulating hair follicle stem cells. In a phase 1 trial, 31% of participants showed over 20% hair density increase with PP405 treatment.

community A science based addition to your hair loss routine

in Research/Science 23 upvotes 2 years ago

Blocking the Mitochondrial pyruvate carrier and using aldose reductase inhibitors like Indian gooseberry and berberine may help with hair growth. Magnesium can also be added to increase NADPH.

community PP405: The Ultimate Hair Loss Drug for Complete Hair Growth

211 upvotes 1 year ago

PP405 is a new hair loss treatment in phase 2 trials that may promote hair growth by increasing lactate production and activating hair follicle stem cells. It could potentially replace hormone-disrupting treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride.

community How ET-02 Works. Also no proof that it's better than Minoxidil. At least for now.

44 upvotes 1 year ago

ET-02, a PAI-1 inhibitor, is not proven to be more effective than Minoxidil for hair loss. Other treatments like finasteride, dutasteride, PP405, and AMP-303 are also discussed, focusing on cellular senescence and oxidative stress.

community Anyone heard of scube3? And other emerging treatments?

in Research/Science 4 upvotes 1 year ago

Emerging hair loss treatments like PP405, a topical MPC inhibitor, show promise in activating stem cells for hair growth. The conversation seeks information on the development stages and accessibility of these treatments.
