research Loss of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor in Human Alopecia Hair Follicles
Hair follicles in people with alopecia have lower levels of a key blood vessel growth protein.
research Intraovarian Vascular Enhancement via Stromal Injection of Platelet-Derived Growth Factors: Exploring Subsequent Oocyte Chromosomal Status and In Vitro Fertilization Outcomes
Injecting platelet-derived growth factors into ovaries may improve IVF outcomes by enhancing egg quality and embryo health.
research Thrombospondin-1 Plays a Critical Role in the Induction of Hair Follicle Involution and Vascular Regression During the Catagen Phase
Thrombospondin-1 is crucial for hair follicle regression and reduced blood vessel growth during the catagen phase.
research Control of Hair Growth and Follicle Size by VEGF-Mediated Angiogenesis
VEGF helps hair grow and determines follicle size by increasing blood vessel growth.
research Angiopoietin-1 Induces Survival and Proliferation of Hair Follicle Dermal Papilla Cells Through Integrin α5β1 Signaling
Angiopoietin-1 helps hair cells survive and grow, making it a potential treatment for hair loss.

5 / 91 resultscommunity Stop Complaining about Creatine. You're just fixated on shedding.
Creatine is unlikely to cause hair loss as it does not raise DHT levels. Hair loss is more likely due to genetics, medications, or lifestyle changes.
community After quitting min and fin I asked AI on how fix the mess I am in and it says:
Prolonged use of topical minoxidil and finasteride can lead to neuroendocrine and autonomic dysfunction, causing severe sensitivity and side effects. Recovery involves avoiding these treatments, supporting neurosteroid recovery, calming the sympathetic system, and rebuilding scalp health naturally.
community Why anecdotal evidence is so valued around here?
The conversation discusses why personal stories about hair loss treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride are often taken more seriously than scientific evidence in certain forums. People tend to believe what they want and use others' experiences to support their own views on treatment effectiveness and side effects.
community Dutasteride takes 1-3 months to work in the scalp. Not weeks. Be careful.
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.
community PSA: Check your vitamin D levels!
Low vitamin D levels can negatively impact hair growth, and supplementing with vitamin D, along with treatments like finasteride and minoxidil, may help improve hair health. Quitting smoking and ensuring adequate vitamin B12 and K2 intake are also suggested to support hair regrowth.
