Tanshinone IIA helps protect tissue from low oxygen damage by activating certain cell pathways.
research Epidermal Growth Factor Induces Proliferation of Hair Follicle-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells Through Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor-Mediated Activation of ERK and AKT Signaling Pathways Associated With Upregulation of Cyclin D1 and Downregulation of p16
Epidermal growth factor helps hair stem cells grow by activating specific cell pathways.
research Scarring Hair Follicle Destruction Is Driven by the Collapse of EGFR-Protected JAK-STAT1-Sensitive Stem Cell Immune Privilege
A protein called EGFR protects hair follicle stem cells, and when it's disrupted, hair follicles can be damaged, but blocking certain pathways can restore hair growth.
research Androgenic Alopecia: Cross-Talk Between Cell Signal Transduction Pathways
Hair loss in Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is due to altered cell sensitivity to hormones, not increased hormone levels. Hair growth periods shorten over time, causing hair to become thinner and shorter. This is linked to miscommunication between cell pathways in hair follicles. There's also a change in gene expression related to blood vessels and cell growth in balding hair follicles. The exact molecular causes of AGA are still unclear.

5 / 609 resultscommunity Upcoming and current hair growth stimulants (2026)
The conversation discusses various hair growth treatments, including topical and oral minoxidil, microneedling, LLLT, PRP, exosomes, latanoprost, copper peptides, and upcoming treatments like PP405 and Vdphl01. It also covers managing side effects of minoxidil, such as dry scalp, and mentions the use of dutasteride and finasteride for hair loss.
community PP405 is a game changer. One for the history books. Era defining moment and Pelage know it.
PP405 is a new hair loss treatment that may outperform minoxidil and finasteride by growing thick hair in bald areas within four weeks. Its release is expected around 2028, but concerns about its long-term efficacy and cost remain.
community The ending of alopecia? Corticosterone inhibits GAS6 to govern hair follicle stem-cell quiescence
Corticosterone inhibits GAS6, affecting hair follicle stem-cell activity, with potential implications for stress-related hair loss. Ashwagandha and Vitamin K are suggested for reducing cortisol, but their effectiveness is debated.
community Summary of future treatments from 2020
Hair loss treatments include finasteride, minoxidil, microneedling, dutasteride, CB-03-01, RU-58841, and experimental options like KY-19382 and stem cell therapy. Some treatments are considered ineffective or risky, such as ketoconazole, PRP, and low-level laser therapy.
community Why does this industry still revolve around 5-AR inhibitors?
Hair loss treatments still rely heavily on minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841, with little innovation. Future treatments like stem cell therapy and RNA technology show promise but are not yet available.
