VEGF and other cell growth factors such as IGF-1 and KGF induce the
proliferation of cells in the matrix, dermal papilla and dermal
papillary vascular system and increase the amount of extra cellular
matrix in dermal papilla and then maintain follicles in the anagen
phase. After much discussions last year in the HM forum, VEGF is now
officially available for use as skin rejuvenation system - Brand name
TNS by Skin Medica.

"g" and many others in the HM forum (#57) sparked interests in
Dr. Holick's research on PTH / PTHrP. Some suggested the possibility
that PTHrP may be a physiological hair follicle growth control factor
responsible for the regulation of the hair cycle. It has been shown that
PTHrP antagonist stimulated telogen hair follicles to enter into anagen
and furthermore delayed the progression of the hair follicles from
anagen into catagen and telogen. If PTHrP is such a modulator,
antagonizing PTHrP's action on the hair follicle might be a useful
strategy for stimulating and maintaining hair growth. Summary now
available.
