research The Glypican-1/HGF/C-Met and Glypican-1/VEGF/VEGFR2 Ternary Complexes Regulate Hair Follicle Angiogenesis
Glypican-1 is important for blood vessel growth in hair follicles and could help treat hair loss.
research Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor And Its Receptor May Be One Molecular Mechanism For Androgenetic Alopecia
VEGF and its receptor might cause hair loss.
research Cyclosporine A Stimulated Hair Growth from Mouse Vibrissae Follicles in an Organ Culture Model
Cyclosporine A was found to increase hair growth in mouse whisker follicles.
research Comment on Malloy (2008): James Watson Tells the Inconvenient Truth and Faces the Consequences
The conclusion suggests a new treatment for infantile hemangiomas and a potential target for hair loss treatment.
research VEGF Upregulates VEGF Receptor-2 on Human Outer Root Sheath Cells and Stimulates Proliferation Through ERK Pathway

5 / 21 resultscommunity Tazarotene shows strong standalone hair regrowth potential, not just a Minoxidil enhancer. Backed by VEGF, HF regeneration, and angiogenesis pathways. Here’s why.
Tazarotene shows potential as a standalone treatment for hair regrowth by stimulating new hair follicle formation and promoting angiogenesis, similar to microneedling effects. It can be used topically without minoxidil, but users should start with a low concentration to avoid irritation.
community Surprisingly thorough study on He-Shou-Wu/Fo Ti
He Shou Wu (Fo Ti) extract was found to prolong the hair growth phase, inhibit 5-alpha-reductase (like finasteride), reduce androgen receptors, and increase growth factors, potentially outperforming minoxidil in recovering hair follicle size after DHT exposure. Two compounds, emodin and TSG, are identified as responsible for these effects and warrant further investigation.
community UPDATE: The theory that explains everything. Please help me make this big!
Hair loss theory involves 3alpha-hydroxysteroid reductase (3AHD) converting DHT to androstenol. Discussion explores potential treatments and encourages more research.
community NMN Promotes Cell Proliferation and Hair Growth by Reducing Oxidative Stress
NMN shows promise in promoting hair growth by reducing oxidative stress and weakening androgens. It may be a beneficial addition to hair loss treatments like Minoxidil and Finasteride.
community 30-Min Dermatology Visit – Best Questions to Ask About Balding? ( 175$ )
The conversation discusses hair loss treatments, focusing on finasteride, minoxidil, and other options like PRP and ketoconazole. It highlights the importance of asking specific questions during a dermatology visit to determine the cause of hair loss and appropriate treatments.
