GlossaryGrowth Factor Secretion

cells release proteins that regulate growth and repair processes

Growth Factor Secretion refers to the process by which cells release proteins known as growth factors into their surrounding environment. These growth factors play a crucial role in regulating various cellular processes, including cell growth, division, and differentiation, which are essential for tissue repair and regeneration. In the context of hair biology, growth factor secretion can influence hair follicle development and the hair growth cycle, potentially impacting conditions like alopecia.

community Is quercetin and houttunyia cordata extract actually effective for regrowth? Just heard of it for first time reading on Cleveland Clinic website

in Research/Science 5 upvotes 2 years ago

Quercetin and houttuynia cordata extract may stimulate hair growth by enhancing cellular energy metabolism and increasing growth factor secretion. Quercetin has low oral bioavailability, and its natural tint might stain the scalp if used topically.
