Common anti\u2010hair loss drugs carry some side effects; therefore, novel, safer approaches targeting milder phenotypes are highly advocated. In this context, we investigated an extract of the alpine plant Edelweiss, <jats:italic>Leontopodium alpinum<\/jats:italic> var. Helvetia, for its ability to modulate hair follicle (HF) growth ex vivo and inhibit hair loss while increasing hair regeneration in vivo.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Human amputated HFs were microdissected from three donors, two women and one man, and cultured ex vivo for 6\u2009days. After treatment with 0.001% Edelweiss extract (EWDE), we investigated hair shaft production and anagen\/catagen conversion, and measured known parameters associated with hair growth, that is hair matrix keratinocyte proliferation and apoptosis, dermal papilla inductivity, and growth factors, by quantitative (immuno)histomorphometry. To assess the anti\u2010hair loss potential of the alpine plant compound, we performed a randomized, placebo\u2010controlled human study enrolling Caucasian women and men, aged 18 to 65\u2009years, with normal hair loss. After 5 months\u2019 daily use of an extract containing leave\u2010on serum, we analysed hair density and anagen\u2010to\u2010catagen\/telogen ratio by the Trichogram analysis.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Our results revealed a significant prolongation in the anagen phase in HFs treated with 0.001% Edelweiss, as indicated by an increase in HFs remaining in anagen and a significant decrease in hair cycle score. In line with this effect, EWDE significantly stimulated hair matrix (HM) keratinocyte proliferation, and dermal papilla inductivity, as shown by a significant up\u2010regulation of versican expression and alkaline phosphatase activity, and a tendential increase in FGF7 immunoreactivity in the dermal papilla of all HFs or only anagen VI HFs. Corroborating the ex vivo results, we observed a significant increase in growing hair shaft numbers (hair density) after treatment with Edelweiss extract formulation, and a tendential up\u2010regulation in the anagen\u2010to\u2010catagen\/telogen ratio.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>We show here, through several lines of evidence, that the selected extract of the alpine plant <jats:italic>Leontopodium alpinum<\/jats:italic> var Helvetia (Edelweiss) inhibits premature catagen induction, possibly by stimulating dermal papilla inductivity. It is therefore worth exploiting this extract clinically as an anti\u2010hair loss agent, both for preventing ageing\u2010associated hair shedding and as an adjuvant therapy for hair loss disorders.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/ics.12783","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,6]],"date-time":"2022-05-06T04:01:09Z","timestamp":1651809669000},"page":"363-376","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["An
