Are there any new developments in the study of prostaglandins as a treatment for hairloss?
Dr. Farjo (one of our editors) feels that this drug group may have value in the future development of medications for treating hair loss. I don’t have any information about specific new developments, though.
For everyone else, see this article from 2003 and this article from 1996 for information on this subject.

If prostaglandins are proven scientifically beneficial for hairloss this means Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids also may be as prostaglandins derive from these essential fats.
This would support all these statements about Fish Oil, Evening Primrose Oil and Flaxseed Oil supporting hair health.
