Deoxyribose Gel Prompts Hair Regrowth in Balding Mice

UK/Pakistan researchers report that a biodegradable gel made from the DNA sugar deoxyribose, when applied daily to shaved balding mice, triggered robust hair regrowth comparable to minoxidil, with no additional boost when combined with minoxidil; the effect is linked to increased blood supply to hair follicles, suggesting a potential new alopecia treatment, though findings are early and limited to male mice.

DNA Sugar Gel Promises Rapid Hair Regrowth Breakthrough

Scientists have discovered that a gel made from natural DNA sugar, deoxyribose, can stimulate significant hair regrowth in mice with hereditary-patterned baldness, showing promise as a potential treatment for hair loss in humans. The gel promotes blood supply to hair follicles, leading to robust hair growth comparable to existing treatments like minoxidil, and further research is needed to confirm its effectiveness in humans.
