April 2006 in “International Journal of Dermatology” The document explored the potential of α-difluoromethylornithine (DFMO) as a polyamine inhibitor in controlling hair growth and its applications in cancer treatment and chemoprevention. DFMO was studied for its ability to inhibit ornithine decarboxylase, affecting cell growth and differentiation. It showed promise in suppressing tumor growth and metastasis by inducing apoptosis and inhibiting angiogenesis. DFMO was also investigated for its impact on hair growth, potentially altering hair follicle function and fiber composition. However, the document did not provide details on the number of participants in the studies, which is important for evaluating the findings' reliability.
