      community PP405 - hair stem cell stimulation

      in Research/Science  53 upvotes 2 years ago
      PP405, a topical LDH inhibitor, has shown to stimulate hair follicle stem cell proliferation in humans with moderate hair loss. They are advancing to more detailed trials this year.

      community The mechanism of androgenic alopecia

      in Research/Science  32 upvotes 6 months ago
      DHT may inhibit hair growth by affecting mitochondrial function, leading to hair follicle miniaturization. Treatments like minoxidil and PP405 may promote hair growth by altering metabolic pathways, potentially counteracting DHT's effects.

      community Possible natural pp405 solution

      in Research/Science  45 upvotes 8 months ago
      Rotenone, a natural plant extract, may promote hair growth by increasing LDH activity and blocking MPC in the scalp, but it carries risks due to its toxicity. The suggested formulation includes Barbasco extract, DMSO, propylene glycol or PEG-400, ethanol, and a carrier oil.

      PP405 is a potential hair loss treatment that inhibits mitochondrial pyruvate carriers, increasing lactate dehydrogenase activity and stimulating hair follicle stem cells. In a phase 1 trial, 31% of participants showed over 20% hair density increase with PP405 treatment.
