Abstract in Plain English

Small signaling peptides are emerging as promising tools for follicle regeneration. This study examined how biomimetic peptides derived from growth factors interact with scalp cells to encourage new hair formation.

Key Findings
  • Peptides activated stem cell proliferation in follicle dermal papilla.
  • Collagen synthesis increased, improving follicle anchorage.
  • Combination with niacinamide amplified cellular oxygenation.
  • After 12 weeks, participants saw a 15% rise in visible hair density.
Why It Matters

Peptides mimic the body’s natural repair signals, offering a lightweight and non-hormonal approach to hair regrowth. Their ability to rejuvenate dormant follicles may complement existing medical treatments.

Study Limitations

This was a small-scale study; larger trials are needed to confirm results.
