GlossaryFibroblast Growth Factor

promotes cell growth, tissue repair, and development

Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF) is a family of proteins that play a crucial role in cell growth, tissue repair, and development. One well-known member, FGF-2 or Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor (bFGF), is particularly important for promoting the proliferation and differentiation of cells, including those involved in hair growth and wound healing.

community Growth factors, VEGF, And more,possible permanent cure for people with moderate hairloss?

in Research/Science 3 upvotes 1 year ago

The user discusses using dutasteride to stop hair loss and bimatoprost for regrowth. They plan to use VEGF with hydrogels for potentially permanent hair follicle improvement and suggest PRP as an alternative.

community REVOLUTION in AUGUST: New possibilities according to Dr. Muñoz (pinacidil, cromakalim, diazoxide and nicorandil)

in Technology 13 upvotes 10 months ago

Dr. Muñoz's discovery suggests that targeting potassium channels in fibroblasts could reactivate hair growth, offering new treatment possibilities for alopecia. Potential strategies include using minoxidil, diazoxide, and other potassium channel openers, as well as bioelectric devices and direct growth factor applications.

community DHT Isn’t the Only Factor in Hair Loss and That Might Be the Key to a Real Cure

in Research/Science 370 upvotes 4 months ago

Hair loss involves more than just DHT, with genetic factors like TRPS affecting hair follicles. Treatments such as Amplifica's AMP-601 and AMP-303 target stem cells for potential hair growth solutions.

community Serum based on plant extracts boosts hair growth in weeks.

in Treatment 44 upvotes 9 months ago

A serum containing Centella asiatica extracellular vesicles, IGF-1, FGF-7, and caffeine significantly improved hair thickness, density, length, and reduced hair loss after 56 days. The conversation also discusses how treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and ketoconazole address different aspects of hair loss by reducing DHT, improving blood flow, and lowering inflammation.

community Minoxidil inhibits lysyl hydroxylase which is needed to produce collagen. If I take 2,5...5 mg of minoxidil every day can I cause my skin to age prematurely?

in Minoxidil 37 upvotes 1 year ago

Oral minoxidil is effective for hair loss and unlikely to significantly affect collagen synthesis, making it a safe option without causing premature skin aging. Users report positive hair regrowth without noticeable skin aging.
