research Induction of Hair Growth by Skin Irritants and Its Relation to Skin Protein Kinase C Isoforms 10 citations, April 1999 in “British journal of dermatology/British journal of dermatology, Supplement” Skin irritants can promote hair growth by affecting specific skin proteins.
community Scientists have found that a naturally occurring sugar in humans and animals could be used as a topical treatment for male pattern baldness | In the study, mice received 2dDR-SA gel for 21 days, resulting in greater number of blood vessels and an increase in hair follicle length and denseness in Research/Science 640 upvotes 11 months ago Scientists discovered a sugar gel, 2dDR-SA, that increased hair growth in mice. Users discussed its potential, comparing it to other treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride.
