    TLDR Lactobacillus paracasei HY7015 helps hair grow in mice.
    The study investigated the effects of Lactobacillus paracasei HY7015 on hair growth in a telogenic mouse model. Oral administration of HY7015 was found to promote hair growth and hair follicle maturation in mice. The probiotic stimulated the proliferation of hair follicle dermal papilla cells (HFDPC) and increased the secretion of growth factors such as vascular endothelial growth factor and insulin-like growth factor-1. These findings suggested that L. paracasei HY7015 could enhance hair growth by influencing HFDPC activity and growth factor levels, warranting further research into the underlying mechanisms.
