Research
5 / 1000+ resultsresearch A new model of blood vessel remodeling
Hair follicles influence blood vessels during hair growth, suggesting potential treatments for hair growth issues.
research Hair growth control by innate immunocytes: Perifollicular macrophages revisited
Immune cells around hair follicles help control hair growth and could be targets for treating hair disorders.
research Vascular mechanisms in laser hair removal
Laser hair removal might also work by damaging blood vessels around hair follicles.
research Conditioned media-integrated microneedles for hair regeneration through perifollicular angiogenesis
A new microneedle patch effectively promotes hair growth by increasing blood vessel formation around hair follicles.
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.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Scientists have found that a naturally occurring sugar in humans and animals could be used as a topical treatment for male pattern baldness | In the study, mice received 2dDR-SA gel for 21 days, resulting in greater number of blood vessels and an increase in hair follicle length and denseness
Scientists discovered a sugar gel, 2dDR-SA, that increased hair growth in mice. Users discussed its potential, comparing it to other treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride.
community A new study by Deng and colleagues set out to explore differences between balding and non balding scalps...
Balding scalps have more androgen receptors, leading to increased TGF-beta, which causes blood vessel loss and hair follicle miniaturization. Blocking androgen signaling and TGF-beta may help prevent hair loss.
community Debunking Androgenetic Theory (Hair Transplants)
The post discusses a theory that hair regrowth after transplant is due to the angiogenesis process (new blood vessels forming), not because the transplanted hair is unaffected by DHT. The responses highlight the established belief in 'donor dominance' (the importance of the hair's origin in transplantation) and skepticism about the new theory.
community Groundbreaking sugar gel might be a miracle hair loss solution for men and women
A sugar gel called 2-deoxy-D-ribose (2dDR) shows potential for promoting hair regrowth by increasing blood supply to hair follicles, similar to Minoxidil, but its effectiveness in humans is unproven. It may benefit those who don't tolerate Minoxidil, but it is not a replacement for treatments like Finasteride or RU58841.
community "Hair Follicle Stem Cells are quiescent 99% of the time and permanently reside in the hair follicle"
Hair follicles are mostly dormant but can be reactivated with treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, and microneedling. A new drug, PP405, shows promise for hair regrowth but may not be available until 2027-2028.
