Mitochondrial therapy and platelet-rich plasma therapy both stimulated hair regrowth in aging mice, with mitochondrial therapy showing similar effectiveness to plasma therapy.
Hair loss theory suggests imbalance between Vitamin D Receptor (VDR) and Androgen Receptor (AR) activation. Proposed treatment includes upregulating VDR, downregulating AR, and improving mitochondrial health.
Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
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.
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.
