research Cross-sectional study of the association between skin tags and vascular risk factors in a bariatric clinic-based cohort of Irish adults with morbid obesity

4 citations , March 2020 in “BMC Research Notes”

In this study of Irish adults with morbid obesity, skin tags were associated with higher blood pressure, HbA1c levels, and a greater prevalence of diabetes and hypertension, indicating increased cardiovascular risk.

research The essential oils of Chamaecyparis obtusa promote hair growth through the induction of vascular endothelial growth factor gene

49 citations , July 2009 in “Fitoterapia”

This study found that C. obtusa oils promoted hair growth in shaved mice and increased the expression of a hair growth regulator, VEGF, in a cell line.

research Differentiation of human hair follicle stem cells into endothelial cells induced by vascular endothelial and basic fibroblast growth factors

24 citations , November 2013 in “Molecular Medicine Reports”

This study demonstrated that human hair follicle stem cells can be efficiently differentiated into endothelial-like cells using VEGF and bFGF, suggesting their potential as a novel cell source for vascular tissue engineering.

research Cepharanthine induces the proliferation of human dermal papilla cells and stimulates vascular endothelial growth factor expression through increased intracellular calcium mobilization and hypoxia‐inducible factor activation

7 citations , December 2020 in “Clinical and Experimental Dermatology”

This study found that cepharanthine and its structural analogues may stimulate hair growth by promoting the proliferation of human dermal papilla cells and increasing VEGF expression in vitro.

research Extracellular vesicles from 3D cultured dermal papilla cells improve wound healing via Krüppel-like factor 4/vascular endothelial growth factor A -driven angiogenesis

1 citations , January 2023 in “Burns and trauma”

This study found that tdDPC-EVs significantly improved wound healing by enhancing angiogenesis through the KLF4/VEGFA axis, offering advantages over traditional DPC-EVs.

learn Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor

What is Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF), and how does it support hair growth in alopecia? VEGF promotes hair growth by enhancing blood supply to hair follicles.
Can products that stimulate Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) improve blood flow to hair follicles? Yes, products that stimulate VEGF may improve blood flow to hair follicles.
Is Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) available as a topical treatment, or is it only stimulated indirectly? VEGF is not available as a topical treatment for hair loss.

community The Korean began to suspect something. But they understood the mechanism to some extent. ( Cold shock therapy promotes hair growth in association with upregulation of cold-inducible RNA-binding protein and vascular endothelial growth factor)

in Research 86 upvotes 1 year ago

Cold shock therapy may promote hair growth by stimulating follicular muscles and affecting stem cells. The exact mechanisms and full range of elements involved are not yet fully understood.

community Cold and Japanese researchers. The Japanese began to suspect something. But they understood the mechanism to some extent. ( Cold shock therapy promotes hair growth in association with upregulation of cold-inducible RNA-binding protein and vascular endothelial growth factor).

Cold shock therapy may promote hair growth, but cold alone is not effective. Combining treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, cold showers, spicy foods, and exercise may enhance results.

community Am I crazy or is there a link between being fit and not going bald?

in Chat 1 year ago

Fit individuals often have full heads of hair, possibly due to lifestyle factors like exercise and diet, while those who are less fit tend to experience more hair loss. Some fit individuals may also use treatments like finasteride and minoxidil to maintain their hair.

community Weed/THC effects on hair growth/hair loss, and vitality of organ-culture human follicle studies (research review)

4 upvotes 1 year ago

Cannabis and THC may have mixed effects on hair, with some studies suggesting potential negative impacts on hair growth in isolated hair follicles, but these results are hard to apply to living humans. Treatments like minoxidil and finasteride are commonly used for hair loss, and the effects of cannabis might be neutral or vary based on individual factors.

community Dutasteride takes 1-3 months to work in the scalp. Not weeks. Be careful.

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 41 upvotes 2 years ago

Dutasteride takes 1-3 months to affect scalp DHT levels, not just a week. The prostate absorbs Dutasteride faster than the scalp due to different vascular networks and enzyme densities.
