research Effects of Epidermal Growth Factor, Fibroblast Growth Factor, Minoxidil, and Hydrocortisone on Growth Kinetics in Human Hair Bulb Papilla Cells and Root Sheath Fibroblasts Cultured In Vitro
EGF and FGF boost hair cell growth, hydrocortisone slows it, and minoxidil doesn't affect it.
research Alopecia Areata in C3H/HeJ Mice Involves Leukocyte-Mediated Root Sheath Disruption in Advance of Overt Hair Loss
Hair loss in mice starts with immune cells damaging hair roots before it becomes visible.
research Enhanced In Vitro Hair Growth at the Air-Liquid Interface: Minoxidil Preserves the Root Sheath in Cultured Whisker Follicles
Minoxidil enhances hair growth and preserves the root sheath in cultured follicles.
research Epidermal Growth Factor And Fibroblast Growth Factor Accelerate Proliferation Of Human Hair Bulb Papilla Cells And Root Sheath Fibroblasts Cultured In Vitro
EGF and FGF can boost hair growth by speeding up cell growth.
research Effects of Testosterone, Dihydrotestosterone and Estradiol on the Growth Behavior of Cultured Hair Bulb Papilla Cells and Root Sheath Fibroblasts
Testosterone and dihydrotestosterone slow hair cell growth, while estradiol has no effect.

5 / 740 resultscommunity Hair loss research focused on chemistry for decades because we misunderstood the mechanics of growth.
Hair growth relies on mechanical forces, not just chemicals, with tissue acting like a motor. Minoxidil and finasteride help, but maintaining tissue elasticity and addressing mechanical issues are essential.
community You may not have the enzyme for topical minoxidil to work - a rarely talked about impact
Some people may not respond to topical minoxidil due to low SULT1A1 enzyme activity, but oral minoxidil can be effective. Tretinoin may enhance minoxidil's effectiveness, and some users prefer oral minoxidil despite side effects.
community IGFBP‐rP1 is a potential therapeutic target in androgenic alopecia
IGFBP‐rP1 shows potential for treating androgenic alopecia by influencing hair cycle transitions. Increasing IGF-1 levels may have similar effects to Minoxidil and 5-AR inhibitors in reducing hair loss.
community Taurine supplements work for hair growth?
The conversation discusses taurine supplements for hair growth, highlighting their potential to reduce DHT and improve hair health. A user comments that people often try alternatives to finasteride.
community Study on Sugar Intake on Male Pattern Hair Loss
Excessive sugar and high-fat diets are linked to male pattern hair loss, with sweet beverages being a significant factor. Moderation in diet is advised, as diet alone may not fully prevent hair loss due to other factors like DHT sensitivity.
