December 2008 in “Developmental Biology” Msx2 and Foxn1 are both crucial for hair growth and health.
4 citations,
July 2014 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Old people have less hair because their hair follicles don't regenerate as well, not because of fewer stem cells, and a protein called follistatin might help reactivate hair growth.
3 citations,
May 2018 in “Journal of nutritional health & food science” Nutritional supplements can help manage hair loss and promote hair growth by strengthening hair roots and countering harmful effects of pollution, smoking, and deficiencies in vitamins and minerals.
