Minoxidil sulfotransferase is a marker of keratinocyte differentiation and may play a role in hair growth.
research In vivohair growth-stimulating effect of medicinal plant extract on BALB/c nude mice
Chrysanthemum zawadskii extract may be a better treatment for hair loss than Minoxidil.
research The nutritional biochemistry of wool and hair follicles
Nutrients like vitamins, copper, zinc, and amino acids are crucial for healthy hair and wool growth.
research Targeted expression of SV40 T antigen in the hair follicle of transgenic mice produces an aberrant hair phenotype
SV40 T antigen in hair follicles causes abnormal hair and health issues in mice.
research Single-cell transcriptomics reveals lineage trajectory of human scalp hair follicle and informs mechanisms of hair graying
The study found new details about human hair growth and suggests that preventing a specific biological pathway could potentially treat hair graying.
research Glutamic acid promotes hair growth in mice
Glutamic acid helps increase hair growth in mice.
research Human platelet lysate versus minoxidil stimulates hair growth by activating anagen promoting signaling pathways
Both human platelet lysate and minoxidil can promote hair growth, but they affect different genes and cell survival rates.
research Expression of NAD+dependent 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase and protection of prostaglandins in human hair follicle
A substance called compound-1 could help increase hair growth by maintaining prostaglandin levels in hair follicles.
research Growth and viability of Liaoning Cashmere goat hair follicles during the annual hair follicle cycle
Liaoning Cashmere goat hair follicles show synchronized growth patterns with lowest activity in May.
research Brain-derived nerve factor and neurotrophins in androgenetic alopecia
Lower growth factors linked to balding in androgenetic alopecia.

SGK3 is essential for proper hair growth and health.
research Caffeine and Its Pharmacological Benefits in the Management of Androgenetic Alopecia: A Review
Caffeine improves hair growth, thickness, and reduces shedding.
research The ‘bald’ phenotype (androgenetic alopecia) is caused by the high glycaemic, high cholesterol and low mineral ‘western diet’
Western diet may cause male pattern baldness; low glycemic diet with magnesium could help.
research Minoxidil Sulfotransferase Enzyme (SULT1A1) genetic variants predicts response to oral minoxidil treatment for female pattern hair loss
Genetic variants affect minoxidil hair loss treatment success.
research Hair(y) Matters in Melanoma Biology
The document concludes that the immune-inhibitory environment of the hair follicle may prevent melanoma development.
research Plasma rich in growth factors (PRGF) for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia
PRGF treatment safely and effectively helps hair loss.
research Morphogenetic Mechanisms in the Cyclic Regeneration of Hair Follicles and Deer Antlers from Stem Cells
Hair follicles and deer antlers regenerate similarly through stem cells and are influenced by hormones and growth factors.
research Thymic Peptides Differentially Modulate Human Hair Follicle Growth
Some thymic peptides can increase human hair growth, while others may inhibit it.
research Antisense oligonucleotide targeting fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR)-1 stimulates cellular activity of hair follicles in anin vitroorgan culture system
Targeting FGFR-1 with antisense oligonucleotides may help treat baldness by increasing hair follicle activity.
research Effects of the selective TrkA agonist gambogic amide on pigmentation and growth of human hair follicles in vitro
Gambogic Amide helps maintain hair color and promotes hair growth.
research Increased retinol‐binding protein (RBP) 4 and anti‐RBP4 antibody in alopecia areata
People with alopecia areata have higher levels of RBP4 protein and antibodies against it.
research Analysis of the expression pattern of the carrier protein transthyretin and its receptor megalin in the human scalp skin and hair follicles: hair cycle-associated changes
The proteins transthyretin and megalin are more present in the growth phase of hair, suggesting they might affect hair health and growth.
research Use of Minoxidil Sulfate versus Minoxidil Base in Androgenetic Alopecia Treatment: Friend or Foe?
Minoxidil base is preferred for hair loss treatment, but minoxidil sulfate may be an alternative for unresponsive patients.
