community Published in Nature: Osteopontin, a protein involved in the growth of hair on moles could be the key to our troubles.

in Research/Science 12 upvotes 2 years ago

Osteopontin, a protein involved in hair growth on moles, may help with hair loss. However, it is also linked to Alzheimer's, cancer, and bone development, so caution is advised.

community Adipocyte lipolysis activates epithelial stem cells for hair regeneration through fatty acid metabolic signaling

in Research/Science 22 upvotes 8 months ago

Fatty acid metabolic signaling can activate epithelial stem cells for hair regeneration. Oleic and palmitoleic acids showed the best results, but practical application on humans remains uncertain.

community IGF-1 and Peptides? Miracle molecule waiting to be found

in Research/Science 10 upvotes 10 months ago

The conversation discusses potential hair loss treatments focusing on stimulating IGF-1 at the follicle level using growth-factor cocktails and engineered peptides, such as Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3, Copper Tripeptide-1, Oligopeptide-20, Thymosin-β4, and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7. It suggests that device-assisted delivery methods like microneedling may enhance effectiveness.

community Korean scientists breakthrough in hair regeneration targeting CXXC5 protein and WNT Signaling Pathway

54 upvotes 8 years ago

A potential non-invasive topical treatment targeting the WNT Signaling Pathway for hair regeneration is being researched, with positive results on human hair follicle cells. Current effective treatments for hair loss include Minoxidil, finasteride, and hair transplantation.

community IGFBP‐rP1 is a potential therapeutic target in androgenic alopecia

in Research/Science 13 upvotes 1 year ago

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 Another molecular pathway to promote scarless healing and regenerate hair follicles

in Research/Science 14 upvotes 5 months ago

Carnosic acid in rosemary extract may enhance skin repair and promote hair follicle regeneration. It could be used alone or with verteporfin for scarless healing after dermal wounding.
