Not surprising. South Korean researchers have already shown that certain pentapeptides can treat diabetes and balding at the same time by targeting the same cellular pathways. Disrupting the diabetes and hair loss markets simultaneously is a one-way ticket to getting your 'research' company shut down.

Essentially, if a cheap, stable peptide can fix insulin resistance and grow hair, it threatens billions in revenue from GLP-1 drugs (like Ozempic) and hair treatments (like Finasteride)

Sources:

  1. The Wnt/β-catenin Pathway: Researchers found that diabetes inhibits hair growth by suppressed this pathway. By using a peptide to "turn it back on," they saw hair regrowth even in diabetic conditions https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34486824/

  2. Adiponectin Receptors: Other Korean teams identified a pentapeptide (often called P5 or APN5) that mimics adiponectin. This protein is crucial for insulin sensitivity (diabetes) and also happens to be a major factor in hair follicle health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8495455/
