5 / 714 resultsresearch Lgr6+ stem cells and their progeny in mouse epidermis under regimens of exogenous skin carcinogenesis, and their absence in ensuing skin tumors
UV exposure reduces Lgr6+ stem cells in mouse skin and they don't significantly contribute to skin cancer development.
research The Thinning Top: Why Old People Have Less Hair
Old people have less hair because their hair follicles don't regenerate as well, not because of fewer stem cells, and a protein called follistatin might help reactivate hair growth.
research The circadian molecular clock creates epidermal stem cell heterogeneity
The circadian clock affects skin stem cell behavior, impacting aging and cancer risk.
research Outcome of intra-operative injected platelet-rich plasma therapy during follicular unit extraction hair transplant: A prospective randomised study in forty patients
Injecting platelet-rich plasma during hair transplant surgery improves hair regrowth rate, speeds up skin recovery, and enhances hair quality.
research Dormancy in the stem cell niche
Some stem cells in the body rarely divide, which could help create better treatments for diseases and aging.

5 / 435 resultscommunity A stress hormone has been found to signal through skin cells to repress the activation of hair-follicle stem cells in mice
Stress can lead to hair loss by affecting hair-follicle stem cells, and this loss is harder to recover from if one has male pattern baldness (MPB). Treatments like finasteride and minoxidil are used to address hair loss, but stress-related hair loss differs from androgenic alopecia.
community How do you distinguish miniaturised hairs from velus hairs regrowing from dormant follicles around temples?
The conversation discusses difficulty in distinguishing between new hair growth and thinning hair at the temples after using microneedling and a rosemary peppermint topical for four weeks. The advice given is to wait a few months to see if the hairs grow out to determine their nature.
community Something I misunderstood about hair loss for a long time
Hair follicles often go dormant rather than die, and treatments like minoxidil can help revive them. Scalp health and stimulation, such as massages and using products like sulphur soap, are also important for hair regrowth.
community If PP405 does revive "dead" hair follicles would DHT blockers theoretically be enough to maintain that new hair
PP405 may revive dormant hair follicles, and DHT blockers like finasteride or dutasteride could maintain new hair. Combining PP405 with minoxidil might be optimal, but long-term effects and continuous use are uncertain.
community "Hair Follicle Stem Cells are quiescent 99% of the time and permanently reside in the hair follicle"
Hair follicles are mostly dormant but can be reactivated with treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, and microneedling. A new drug, PP405, shows promise for hair regrowth but may not be available until 2027-2028.
