research Lactate dehydrogenase activity drives hair follicle stem cell activation

202 citations , August 2017 in “Nature cell biology”

This study found that glycolytic metabolism and lactate production are crucial for hair follicle stem cell activation, and manipulating these processes can stimulate the hair cycle.

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 Uptake and Utilisation of Amino Acids by Human Hair Follicles and Related Cells

1 citations , January 1996

This study found that cysteine and arginine are crucial for hair growth in hair follicles, with cysteine affecting hair fibre diameter and arginine involved in protein incorporation and energy metabolism.

research 266 Glycogen metabolism and Cori cycle in human hair follicles

September 2017 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology”

This study suggests that the outer root sheath of human hair follicles may act as a "metabolic center," capable of synthesizing glucose from lactate, which supports glycogen metabolism.

research Author response: Human biallelic MFN2 mutations induce mitochondrial dysfunction, upper body adipose hyperplasia, and suppression of leptin expression

1 citations , March 2017

This study reports that patients with specific MFN2 mutations, including p.Arg707Trp, exhibit significant upper body fat overgrowth with suppressed leptin production, suggesting tissue-selective mitochondrial dysfunction and potential therapeutic targets.

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 DHT Harms Scalp Microbiome: DHT Itch is REAL

413 upvotes 1 year ago

Increased Malassezia and Cutibacterium in the scalp microbiome are linked to higher sebum production and inflammation in androgenetic alopecia (AGA). Treatments include ciclopirox shampoo, benzoyl peroxide shampoo, clobetasol propionate, calcipotriol, minoxidil, finasteride, and dutasteride.

community My summation of PP405 - looks promising

210 upvotes 1 year ago

PP405 shows promise for hair regrowth by manipulating stem cell characteristics and lactate dehydrogenase, with Phase 2a trials pending. Google Ventures' $15M investment suggests confidence, but results and market availability remain uncertain.

community How true is the statement: dead follicles don't grow back?

112 upvotes 1 year ago

Hair follicles usually go dormant rather than die, and treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and hormone therapy can sometimes reactivate them, though results vary. Complete regrowth is rare, especially in long-term bald areas, but some individuals see significant improvement with these treatments.

community Ultimate Stack without nuking your gender (you'll go broke)

86 upvotes 1 year ago

A hair loss treatment plan includes finasteride, dutasteride, RU58841, pyrilutamide, minoxidil, and microneedling to inhibit DHT and promote hair growth. It also recommends supplements like Reishi and Lion’s Mane mushrooms, and a shampoo with ketoconazole, caffeine, and melatonin.
