5 / 1000+ resultsresearch The cell-surface marker MTS24 identifies a novel population of follicular keratinocytes with characteristics of progenitor cells
MTS24 marks a new type of skin cell that helps hair growth and repair.
research 1361 A novel cell surface marker for hair follicle dermal cells throughout hair morphogenesis and cycling
Researchers found that the Leptin receptor is a consistent marker for hair follicle dermal cells, which may help future hair research.
research Enrichment for Living Murine Keratinocytes from the Hair Follicle Bulge with the Cell Surface Marker CD34
CD34 is a marker for isolating stem-like cells in mouse hair follicles.
research Epidermal keratinocyte stem cells: their maintenance and regulation
Skin stem cells are maintained by signals from nearby cells and vary in their ability to renew and mature.
research Modulating Mesenchymal Stem Cell Behavior Using Human Hair Keratin-Coated Surfaces
Coating surfaces with human hair keratin improves the growth and consistency of important stem cells for medical use.

5 / 681 resultscommunity A Theory on Why Microneedling Works
Microneedling may enhance hair regrowth by transferring stem cells to dormant follicles, improving the effects of minoxidil. Users discuss using microneedling with needle lengths around 1.5mm to stimulate hair growth.
community Hair loss research focused on chemistry for decades because we misunderstood the mechanics of growth.
Hair growth relies on mechanical forces, not just chemicals, with tissue acting like a motor. Minoxidil and finasteride help, but maintaining tissue elasticity and addressing mechanical issues are essential.
community My Theory Of Androgenic Alopecia
Hair loss is linked to cellular physiology and the IGF-1 to TGF-B1 ratio, not just androgen sensitivity. The theory lacks evidence, while finasteride and minoxidil are effective treatments.
community Why don’t more people use hair fibers?
Hair fibers can effectively cover thinning hair when used with minoxidil and hairspray but require daily application and can be inconvenient in certain conditions. Some users prefer treatments like finasteride, dutasteride, microneedling, or wigs due to the maintenance and limitations of hair fibers.
community A Nuanced Look at Microdosing Topical Finasteride
The conversation discusses using a low dose of topical finasteride to achieve hair benefits with minimal systemic exposure. Users share experiences and opinions on dosing, systemic buildup, and side effects of both topical and oral finasteride.
