research Ecklonia Cava Promotes Hair Growth
Ecklonia cava, a type of seaweed, may help hair grow.
research Androgenic Alopecia: Cross-Talk Between Cell Signal Transduction Pathways
Hair loss in Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is due to altered cell sensitivity to hormones, not increased hormone levels. Hair growth periods shorten over time, causing hair to become thinner and shorter. This is linked to miscommunication between cell pathways in hair follicles. There's also a change in gene expression related to blood vessels and cell growth in balding hair follicles. The exact molecular causes of AGA are still unclear.
research 5α-Reductase Activity in the Human Hair Follicle Concentrates in the Dermal Papilla
The enzyme that changes testosterone to a stronger form is mostly found in the part of the hair follicle called the dermal papilla.
research Olfactory Receptor OR2AT4 Regulates Human Hair Growth
A certain smell receptor in hair follicles can affect hair growth when activated by a synthetic sandalwood scent.
research Matriptase Expression and Zymogen Activation in Human Pilosebaceous Unit
