    TLDR Macromolecules show promise for future hair loss treatments.
    The review discusses recent advancements in using macromolecules for hair loss treatment, highlighting their potential in hair regeneration therapies. It covers the fundamental principles of hair follicle morphogenesis, hair shaft development, hair cycle regulation, and alopecia. Innovative delivery systems like microneedles and nanoparticles are explored, along with macromolecule-based tissue-engineered scaffolds for hair follicle neogenesis both in vitro and in vivo. Additionally, the review introduces artificial skin platforms as a promising method for screening hair loss treatment drugs. These approaches underscore the potential of macromolecules in developing future hair loss treatments. The authors report no conflicts of interest.

      community Are carbohydrates needed for hair growth

      in Research/Science  25 upvotes 1 year ago
      A 47-year-old male experienced significant hair loss after losing 37 kg in 6 months on a low-carb diet and started taking biotin, zinc, iron, selenium, and spectral dcn-n. Replies suggest that while carbs are not directly needed for hair growth, they help regulate hormones and nutrient absorption, and rapid weight loss can also contribute to hair loss.
