Did you mean PDGF-BB?

GlossaryPlatelet-Derived Growth Factor BB (PDGF-BB)

protein that stimulates cell growth and tissue repair

Platelet-Derived Growth Factor BB (PDGF-BB) is a protein that plays a crucial role in cell growth, healing, and the formation of blood vessels. It is one of the isoforms of PDGF and is particularly important in wound healing and tissue repair, as it stimulates the proliferation and migration of cells such as fibroblasts and smooth muscle cells.

community Seriously confused about minoxidil's method of action

in Minoxidil 6 upvotes 2 years ago

The conversation discusses confusion about how Minoxidil promotes hair growth compared to other substances like Menthol, which have similar actions. The user mentions personal positive results with peppermint oil extract and is currently trying L-citrulline for its vasodilation effects.

community 2 years later I managed to gain some ground (Hyperresponder)

in Progress Pictures 43 upvotes 1 year ago

The user regained most of their hair using Minoxidil, Finasteride, and Dermarolling. They found Dermarolling particularly effective, as it promotes growth factors and improves hair thickness.

community Surprisingly thorough study on He-Shou-Wu/Fo Ti

in Research/Science 14 upvotes 1 year ago

He Shou Wu (Fo Ti) extract was found to prolong the hair growth phase, inhibit 5-alpha-reductase (like finasteride), reduce androgen receptors, and increase growth factors, potentially outperforming minoxidil in recovering hair follicle size after DHT exposure. Two compounds, emodin and TSG, are identified as responsible for these effects and warrant further investigation.
