簡單來說,大家都知道Minoxidil和Anti-Dihydrotestosterone(抗DHT)治療對於雄性禿有效,而Diphencyprone則對班禿有效。細胞激素,特別是VEGF可以做為這些治療之外的其他選項,或是做為這些療程的輔助。
Increased diameter of hair shafts in 12-week-old VEGF transgenic mice (VEGF TG) during late anagen, as compared with wild-type (WT) littermates. ( a) Light microscopy of unstained plucked awl hair; scale bar = 30 μm. ( b) Quantitative analysis of hair shafts, measured at the level of their greatest width, revealed a significantly increased hair diameter in VEGF transgenic mice. Data are expressed as means ± SD ( n = 50 for each genotype). A P < 0.001, two-sided unpaired Student’s t test.
