4 / 800 results- Does retinol improve scalp health or help other hair growth treatments work? No trial has tested over-the-counter retinol for hair; the studies used prescription tretinoin (retinoic acid), mostly in the lab, with mixed results. Retinoids need caution in pregnancy, so ask a doctor first.

5 / 1000+ resultsresearch Immunolocalization of proteins related to retinoic acid synthesis and signaling during hair cycle
This article discusses the roles of retinoic acid in cellular differentiation and its side effects like hair loss, but reports no new clinical findings.
research Estrogen regulates the expression of retinoic acid synthesis enzymes and binding proteins in mouse skin
This study suggests that estrogen regulates vitamin A metabolism in skin tissues in a sex-dependent manner, which may have implications for treating acne, hair loss, and skin immunity.
research Differential expression of retinoic acid-synthesizing (RALDH) enzymes during fetal development and organ differentiation in the mouse
This study reports that the differential expression patterns of three retinaldehyde dehydrogenases suggest a regulated need for retinoic acid synthesis in various organs during late mouse organogenesis.
research Noncoding dsRNA induces retinoic acid synthesis to stimulate hair follicle regeneration via TLR3
This study found that self-noncoding dsRNA activates TLR3 to stimulate intrinsic retinoic acid synthesis, promoting new hair follicle formation in wounded mice and showing similar gene expression changes in humans treated with rejuvenation lasers.
research Hair Cycle-Specific Immunolocalization of Retinoic Acid Synthesizing Enzymes Aldh1a2 and Aldh1a3 Indicate Complex Regulation
This study observed that in mouse hair follicles, enzymes Aldh1a2 and Aldh1a3 have distinct expression patterns that suggest they are involved in different signaling pathways during the hair cycle.

5 / 132 resultscommunity Looking to make my own 2-Deoxy-D-ribose. Any science bros can give advice?
A user is making a 2-Deoxy-D-ribose solution and asks if it can be put into an oil instead of a gel, considering adding hydrocortisone and retinoic acid. They seek advice on the best carrier oil for hair growth.
community Inhibition of collagen synthesis, oral versus topical minoxidil
The conversation discusses the use of oral versus topical minoxidil for hairline recession, with concerns about collagen synthesis inhibition. Oral minoxidil may affect collagen production more broadly, while topical minoxidil's effects are localized but may cause skin issues.
community DLQ01: A Better "Minoxidil" PGF2a synthetic analogue.
DLQ01, a prostaglandin F2α analog, shows promise for hair growth by directly stimulating PGE2/PGF receptors without needing conversion, and can be combined with minoxidil and retinoids like tretinoin for enhanced effectiveness. Minoxidil's efficacy may be reduced by COX-1 inhibitors, but using prostaglandin analogs like Latanoprost or Bimatoprost can help maintain its effectiveness.
community Topical solution recommendation
The user is using finasteride 1mg every other day and seeks a topical solution excluding minoxidil. They are considering various combinations of ingredients like finasteride, dutasteride, and tofacitinib, with options for nourishing oils and other additives.
