research Fibroproliferative genes are preferentially expressed in central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia
Genes linked to fibrosis are more active in people with central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia.
research 1270 Fibroproliferative genes are preferentially expressed in central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia
CCCA may be a fibroproliferative disorder, and anti-fibrotic therapies could help.
research BH16 Central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia and fibroproliferative disorders: exploring the association with uterine leiomyomas
Black women with CCCA are more likely to have uterine fibroids.
research The HEDGEHOG-GLI1 pathway is important for fibroproliferative properties in keloids and as a candidate therapeutic target
Targeting the HEDGEHOG-GLI1 pathway could help treat keloids.
research Keloid pathogenesis and fibroproliferative properties are dependent on stem cells regulated by the HEDGEHOG-GLI1 pathway
Blocking the HEDGEHOG-GLI1 pathway can reduce keloid growth and may be a potential treatment.

community If You Have DUPA, PLEASE READ THIS: Everyone Should Be Scalp Biopsied
Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
community Pirfenidone - The answer to fibrosis and baldness
Pirfenidone is suggested to treat fibrosis and baldness by blocking inflammation markers and reducing collagen. It is also available as a gel for scar removal.
community TGF-Beta. Good or Bad? Help for treatment investment
TGF-B affects hair growth, both causing stem cell division and death depending on amounts. Amplifica's treatment injects Scube3 to increase TGF-B for hair growth.
community IGFBP‐rP1 is a potential therapeutic target in androgenic alopecia
IGFBP‐rP1 shows potential for treating androgenic alopecia by influencing hair cycle transitions. Increasing IGF-1 levels may have similar effects to Minoxidil and 5-AR inhibitors in reducing hair loss.
community Fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution
A user has been experiencing hair loss for 4 years, with treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, and various supplements proving ineffective. They were diagnosed with fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution, a condition that may require a combination of anti-inflammatory and hair growth treatments.
