Abstract in brief

  • The study investigates how a specific tripeptide-copper complex called AHKCu affects human hair growth both in lab cultures and on actual hair follicles, finding that it promotes growth by encouraging cell proliferation and reducing cell death in hair-related cells.
  • AHKCu was shown to lengthen hair follicles and increase the division of dermal papilla cells (DPCs), which are crucial for hair growth, although its effect on preventing cell death was not statistically significant.
  • The molecular analysis suggests that AHKCu may enhance hair growth by boosting survival signals (like increasing Bcl2/Bax ratio) and reducing markers of cell apoptosis (like cleaved caspase3 and PARP), helping keep hair follicle cells healthy and active.
