Survivin and IGF-I may play a role in acne and scarring.
research Factors regulating quiescent stem cells: insights from the intestine and other self-renewing tissues
The document concludes that stem cell inactivity is actively controlled and important for tissue repair and balance.
research Skin expression of mammalian target of rapamycin and forkhead box transcription factor O1, and serum insulin‐like growth factor‐1 in patients with acne vulgaris and their relationship with diet
Eating a high-glycemic diet may worsen acne by increasing certain protein levels and expressions in the skin.
research Transcriptional Control of Epidermal Stem Cells
Certain transcription factors are key in controlling skin stem cell behavior and could impact future treatments for skin repair and hair loss.
research The Harmonies Played by TGF-β in Stem Cell Biology
TGF-β is crucial for controlling stem cell behavior and changes in its signaling can lead to diseases like cancer.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Surprisingly thorough study on He-Shou-Wu/Fo Ti
He Shou Wu (Fo Ti) extract was found to prolong the hair growth phase, inhibit 5-alpha-reductase (like finasteride), reduce androgen receptors, and increase growth factors, potentially outperforming minoxidil in recovering hair follicle size after DHT exposure. Two compounds, emodin and TSG, are identified as responsible for these effects and warrant further investigation.
community Follistatin, thoughts about a potential treatment ?
Follistatin, known for inhibiting myostatin and promoting muscle growth in mice, is being discussed as a potential treatment for hair loss. Specific treatments mentioned include Minoxidil, Finasteride, and RU58841.
community Published in Nature: Osteopontin, a protein involved in the growth of hair on moles could be the key to our troubles.
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 IGFBP‐rP1 is a potential therapeutic target in androgenic alopecia
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 Adipocyte lipolysis activates epithelial stem cells for hair regeneration through fatty acid metabolic signaling
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.
