PP405, a topical LDH inhibitor, has shown to stimulate hairfollicle stem cell proliferation in humans with moderate hair loss. They are advancing to more detailed trials this year.
SCUBE3 and GT20029 are potential treatments for hair loss, with SCUBE3 stimulating hair growth and GT20029 protecting against DHT. A combined approach using SCUBE3, finasteride or dutasteride, and later GT20029 could provide a comprehensive treatment for androgenetic alopecia.
Hairfollicles often go dormant rather than die, and treatments like minoxidil can help revive them. Scalp health and stimulation, such as massages and using products like sulphur soap, are also important for hair regrowth.
Tazarotene shows potential as a standalone treatment for hair regrowth by stimulating new hairfollicle formation and promoting angiogenesis, similar to microneedling effects. It can be used topically without minoxidil, but users should start with a low concentration to avoid irritation.
RootBioTec, a basil hairy root extract, claims to reduce hair loss by 31% in two months by inhibiting 5α reductase II and stimulating hairfollicles. There is limited independent information available about its effectiveness.
