Efficacy of <scp><i>Thermus thermophilus</i></scp> Fermentation Extract in Promoting Hair Growth and Improving Scalp Health in Androgenic Alopecia: A Clinical and In Vitro Study
TTFE promotes hair growth and scalp health by improving follicles, modulating Wnt/β-catenin and TGF-β signaling, and reducing inflammation. These findings suggest TTFE holds promise as a potential treatment for AGA, offering a multifaceted approach to restoring hair growth and scalp health by targeting both follicular biology and inflammation.
