research Effects of recombinant human keratinocyte growth factor-2 on hair regeneration in experimental bald rats

January 2012

In this study, rhKGF2 significantly promoted hair regeneration and enhanced the formation and maturation of hair follicles in experimental bald rats, suggesting potential clinical application.

research Keratinocyte growth factor is an important endogenous mediator of hair follicle growth, development, and differentiation. Normalization of the nu/nu follicular differentiation defect and amelioration of chemotherapy-induced alopecia.

219 citations , July 1995 in “PubMed”

This study found that recombinant keratinocyte growth factor (rKGF) stimulated hair growth and provided a protective effect against alopecia in murine models, suggesting its role in hair follicle development and regeneration.

research Treatment of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Inhibitor-Induced Acneiform Eruption with Topical Recombinant Human Epidermal Growth Factor

19 citations , January 2012 in “Dermatology”

This study describes three cases of acneiform eruptions from EGFR inhibitors that improved with topical recombinant human EGF, suggesting its potential as a treatment option for this side effect.

research An osteopontin‐derived peptide inhibits human hair growth at least in part by decreasing fibroblast growth factor‐7 production in outer root sheath keratinocytes

19 citations , September 2019 in “British Journal of Dermatology”

This study found that a novel peptide, FOL-005, derived from osteopontin, significantly inhibited hair growth in human hair follicles both ex vivo and in vivo, suggesting potential as a treatment for unwanted hair growth.

research The nude gene and the skin

41 citations , October 2001 in “Experimental Dermatology”

This review discusses the molecular and functional aspects of the nude gene in skin biology, providing insights into its role and evolutionary development, but reports no new results.

learn Epidermal Growth Factor

learn Stem Cell Factor

What is stem cell factor and why is it used in hair growth treatments? Stem cell factor promotes hair growth by signaling cell survival and division.
How does stem cell factor help activate dormant hair follicles? Stem cell factor activates dormant hair follicles by signaling through the c-Kit receptor.
Can stem cell factor be combined with other topical hair loss solutions? No published human trial has tested topical stem cell factor alongside minoxidil or other established treatments, so neither the safety nor the benefit of the combination has been established. Community users report layering these products, but that is anecdote rather than clinical evidence.

learn Platelet-Rich Plasma

growth factors taken from your blood and injected into your scalp to stimulate hair

What is Platelet-Derived Growth Factor Beta Polypeptide, and how does it help stimulate new hair growth? PDGF-BB is a growth factor that signals to dermal papilla cells and promotes blood-vessel formation; mouse studies report it can push follicles into the growth phase, and human evidence comes only indirectly from PRP trials. No PDGF product is approved for hair restoration and there is no published human trial of PDGF-BB on its own.

learn Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor

learn Biotin

Biotinyl-GHK: a miracle ingredient against hair loss? Biotinyl-GHK (biotinoyl tripeptide-1) is a cosmetic ingredient, not an approved hair-loss medicine; the published studies test it only inside multi-ingredient complexes such as Procapil, so no result can be attributed to the peptide itself.

community GFM Gel - High concentration topical gel of Mimicking Growth Factors (GFm), a complex of polypeptides that mimic the action of endogenous growth factors and promote physiological hair regrowth. Helps strengthen the hair bulb and redensify the hair.

6 upvotes 1 year ago

The conversation discusses using GFM Gel, a topical gel with polypeptides that mimic growth factors to promote hair regrowth and strengthen hair. It also mentions treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841 for hair loss.

community Keratin microspheres - breakthrough

14 upvotes 2 years ago

A gel of keratin microspheres promotes hair follicle growth, showing similar effectiveness to minoxidil in mice. The treatment activates hair growth pathways and reduces inflammation, with potential applications in drug delivery for hair-related disorders.

community IGF-1 and Peptides? Miracle molecule waiting to be found

10 upvotes 1 year ago

The conversation discusses potential hair loss treatments focusing on stimulating IGF-1 at the follicle level using growth-factor cocktails and engineered peptides, such as Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3, Copper Tripeptide-1, Oligopeptide-20, Thymosin-β4, and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7. It suggests that device-assisted delivery methods like microneedling may enhance effectiveness.

community PRP + GFC for hair regrowth?..

2 upvotes 2 years ago

A dermatologist recommended PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) and GFC (Growth Factor Concentrate) for pattern baldness, but online sources suggest they may not be effective. The user is seeking opinions on these treatments.

community Injectable and biofunctionalized fibrin hydrogels co-embedded with stem cells induce hair follicle genesis.

5 upvotes 3 years ago

Fibrin-based hydrogels support stem cells for hair follicle regeneration, showing promise for treating alopecia and wound healing. They enhance cell viability, maintain stemness, and promote hair and tissue regeneration without teratoma formation.
