February 2024 in “Advanced Materials” The study introduces OG6, an oligosaccharide biomaterial composed of six sugar rings, which has been identified to promote hair growth. Researchers discovered OG6 by revealing its hidden activity from a longer molecule. The study illustrates OG6's effect metaphorically, showing it as a catalyst that activates hair follicles, represented as golden coins, to enter the anagen phase, which is the active growth phase of hair. This discovery marks the first instance of an oligosaccharide being used to stimulate hair growth, highlighting its potential as a novel treatment for hair loss.
