MCL-1 is important for hairfolliclestem cell survival, but its impact on humanhair regrowth is unclear. Minoxidil and finasteride are the main treatments, with doubts about new discoveries leading to effective human solutions soon.
PP405 is a new hair loss treatment in phase 2 trials that may promote hair growth by increasing lactate production and activating hairfolliclestemcells. It could potentially replace hormone-disrupting treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride.
PP405 may damage hairfollicles if used long-term, suggesting cycling might be necessary. Combining it with finasteride could help maintain hair growth.
Hairfollicle regenerative therapy is being developed, with clinical trials planned in Japan, potentially allowing for hair cloning and eliminating the need for treatments like finasteride. If successful, the treatment could be available in Japan by 2025, but widespread access and affordability may take longer.
Sodium dodecyl sulfate, oleic acid, and palmitoleic acid may promote hair growth, but their safety and effectiveness for humans are uncertain. Users consider trying these treatments cautiously, exploring alternatives like ostrich oil and microneedling.
