AS SEEN IN

Our research is developed, governed and owned by our community

In our community, the power to decide which research projects receive funding lies with the community members themselves. Both academics and informed community members, who have delved deeply into the relevant literature, are encouraged to propose projects. The ability to vote on which projects should be supported is granted through holding the HAIR token. This democratic approach ensures that a wide range of perspectives are considered in the decision-making process, fostering a diverse and innovative research environment.

TRH

Thyrotropin-releasing Hormone, a neurohormone known for its role in the hypothalmic-pituitary-thyroid axis, has exhibited promising regrowth effects on human hair follicles ex vivo.

FUNDED

T3

Liothyronine, the most potent of the four thyroid hormones, has shown measurable regrowth effects on human scalp skin and human hair follicles ex vivo.

PATENT SUBMITTED

T4

Levothyroxine, the inactive form of Liothyronine, has also exhibited measurable regrowth effects on human scalp skin and human hair follicles ex vivo.

PATENT SUBMITTED

Dutasteride

Dutasteride, the most efficacious hair loss treatment today, comes with a suite of harmful side effects. We seek to eliminate those in our delivery vehicle research.

FUNDED
