research Finasteride Enhances the Generation of Human Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells by Up-Regulating the COX2/PGE2 Pathway

10 citations , June 2016 in “PLOS ONE”

In this in-vitro study, researchers identified finasteride as the most effective FDA-approved drug for expanding functional myeloid-derived suppressor cells, suggesting its potential future use in immunosuppressive therapies.

UV Light May Induce Hypertrichosis Through Production of Prostaglandin E2

research UV light may induce hypertrichosis through production of PGE2

7 citations , October 2006 in “Medical hypotheses”

UV light might cause excessive hair growth by increasing PGE2 in the skin.

research Human Scalp Hair Follicles Express Prostaglandin E2 Lipid Mediator and Receptors For Pge2

September 2013

This study found that isolated human scalp hair follicles express PGE2 genes and EP2 protein, suggesting PGE2 may play a crucial role in regulating hair growth.

research Effect of VEGF and minoxidil on the production of arachidonic acid metabolites by cultured hair, dermal papilla cells

1 citations , January 1996 in “European Journal of Dermatology”

This study found that VEGF activated and minoxidil differentially modulated arachidonic acid metabolite production in hair dermal papilla cells, enhancing PGE2 and LTB4 but reducing PG6KF1α.

research Decision letter: Role of distinct fibroblast lineages and immune cells in dermal repair following UV radiation-induced tissue damage

June 2021

This study found that chronic UVR exposure in mice and humans leads to a permanent loss of papillary fibroblasts in the upper dermis, which is associated with changes in the extracellular matrix.

community Can I mix pge2 and sandalwood oil for hair regrowth?

1 upvotes 7 years ago

Mixing PGE2 and sandalwood oil for hair regrowth. Suggested formula: 1 drop sandalore to 30 ml carrier oil.

community Setipiprant/PGE2 feedbacks?

4 upvotes 8 years ago

The conversation discusses using PGE2 as a hair growth stimulant, comparing it to minoxidil, and considering the addition of Setipiprant. Concerns about side effects like skin damage and cost are also mentioned.

community Given that PGE2 is so difficult to get (dont have any group buy and have not found any reliable source), have anyone tried latisse(bimatoprost) for hair growth ?

4 upvotes 7 years ago

Latisse (bimatoprost) is discussed as a potential treatment for hair growth due to difficulty obtaining PGE2. Users also mention concerns about sourcing reliable products from China.

community Possible mechanism for creatine to induce hair loss identified

12 upvotes 3 years ago

Creatine may affect hair loss by reducing PGE2 levels, which could influence hair growth. The discussion highlights the need for more research on this potential mechanism.

community DLQ01: A Better "Minoxidil" PGF2a synthetic analogue.

3 upvotes 1 year ago

DLQ01, a prostaglandin F2α analog, shows promise for hair growth by directly stimulating PGE2/PGF receptors without needing conversion, and can be combined with minoxidil and retinoids like tretinoin for enhanced effectiveness. Minoxidil's efficacy may be reduced by COX-1 inhibitors, but using prostaglandin analogs like Latanoprost or Bimatoprost can help maintain its effectiveness.
