research Local circadian clock gates cell cycle progression of transient amplifying cells during regenerative hair cycling
Hair grows faster in the morning and is more vulnerable to damage from radiation due to the internal clock in hair follicle cells.
research A Meeting of Two Chronobiological Systems: Circadian Proteins Period1 and BMAL1 Modulate the Human Hair Cycle Clock
BMAL1 and Period1 genes can influence human hair growth.
research 715 Hunting the hair cycle clock (HCC): Evidence that mitochondrially localized MPZL3 is a key HCC element in murine and human hair follicles
MPZL3 is important for controlling the hair growth cycle in mice and humans.
research 583 Hair cycle regulation by a mitochondrially localized protein: Is MPZL3 a central component of the elusive hair cycle clock?
MPZL3 protein is important for controlling hair growth cycles.
research New Activators and Inhibitors in the Hair Cycle Clock: Targeting Stem Cells’ State of Competence
The conclusion is that Fgf18 and Tgf-ß signaling could be targeted for hair loss treatments.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Does periodic shedding make long hair with finasteride impossible?
Finasteride can help extend the hair growth cycle and improve hair density, allowing for long hair despite initial shedding. Periodic shedding may occur, but it typically does not affect healthy hair significantly.
community 11 month progress on a cocktail regiment
The user "Dismal_Library_2264" shared their 11-month progress on a hair loss treatment regimen. They used dutasteride, topical minoxidil, dermarolling, a hair serum, and specific shampoos. They experienced some side effects but were overall satisfied with the results.
community Long term fin users (3+ years): Do you still shed periodically?
Long-term finasteride users often experience periodic hair shedding due to natural hair cycles, even after several years of use. Some consider switching to dutasteride, but concerns about side effects and the effectiveness of finasteride remain common.
community progress has been insane, been having a bad shed for about a month or 2, can anyone explain?
User experienced significant hair regrowth using minoxidil and dutasteride, along with microneedling, vitamins, and massages. Despite recent shedding, they hope it's a synchronized hair cycle and plan to continue the treatment.
community Scalp inflammation cleared after stopping "spoiled" milk - what about follicles,shedding?
Switching milk brands cleared scalp inflammation and other symptoms, but hair shedding continues. The user hopes shedding will stop as hair cycles progress.
