research Investigation of Insulin-Like Growth Factor 1 Receptor Expression in Cases of Sacrococcygeal Pilonidal Sinus
Decreased IGF-1R expression may contribute to sacrococcygeal pilonidal sinus development.

research Role of insulin, insulin‐like growth factor‐1, hyperglycaemic food and milk consumption in the pathogenesis of acne vulgaris
Eating high-glycemic foods and drinking milk may worsen acne by increasing insulin and IGF-1 levels.
research Insulin-like growth factor 1 and hair growth
IGF-1 can boost hair growth by promoting cell growth and preventing cell death.
research Self-assembling peptide inspired by insulin and type 1 insulin-like growth factor for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia
Ac-GFFY-IGF peptide is a promising, safe, and effective treatment for hair loss, better than current options.

5 / 261 resultscommunity Serum based on plant extracts boosts hair growth in weeks.
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 Is DHT actually the cause of male pattern hair loss or just a correlating factor? Why I think the research is more complicated than we're told and why I've been looking into GHK-Cu
DHT is not the only cause of male pattern hair loss; genetic sensitivity, inflammation, and fibrosis also contribute. GHK-Cu, a copper peptide, is being explored as an alternative treatment to finasteride and minoxidil, showing potential in improving follicle health.
community Creatine is the opposite of minoxidil !
Creatine may counteract minoxidil's hair growth effects by closing potassium ATP channels, potentially leading to hair loss in predisposed individuals. Despite anecdotal reports, there is no conclusive evidence linking creatine to hair loss.
community My Theory Of Androgenic Alopecia
Hair loss is linked to cellular physiology and the IGF-1 to TGF-B1 ratio, not just androgen sensitivity. The theory lacks evidence, while finasteride and minoxidil are effective treatments.
community The end of balding: We may have just found the secret to hair regrowth
MCL-1 is important for hair follicle stem cell survival, but its impact on human hair regrowth is unclear. Minoxidil and finasteride are the main treatments, with doubts about new discoveries leading to effective human solutions soon.
