research 551 Combining Laser Capture Microdissection and RNAseq Analysis to Generate a Human Anagen Hair Follicle Transcriptome Atlas
Researchers made a detailed map of gene activity for different parts of human hair follicles to help create targeted hair disorder treatments.
research Electron microscope observations on the glassy layer of the hair follicle*1
The glassy layer of hair follicles has different fibril sizes and arrangements in guinea pigs and young mice.
research A Novel Human Type II Cytokeratin, K6hf, Specifically Expressed in the Companion Layer of the Hair Follicle
K6hf is a unique protein found only in a specific layer of hair follicles.
research Outer root sheath keratinization in anagen and catagen of the mammalian hair follicle. A seventh distinct type of keratinization in the hair follicle: trichilemmal keratinization.
Trichilemmal keratinization is a unique process in hair follicles where the outer root sheath turns into keratin without a specific layer.
research Expression of the Intermediate Filament Keratin Gene,K15,in the Basal Cell Layers of Epithelia and the Hair Follicle
K15 gene is mainly active in the basal layers of hair follicles and epithelia, aiding early skin cell development.

The "crunching" sound during microneedling is likely the needles penetrating the scalp's outer layers, not cutting hair. Users suggest using a derma stamp instead of a roller to avoid potential hair damage.
community Can pp405 revive dead follicles for long time bald people? Are those even dead? After 10+ years bald
PP405 may revive dormant hair follicles but is unlikely to help with long-term baldness where follicles are replaced by scar tissue. It is seen as a potential adjunct to treatments like minoxidil and finasteride, but its effectiveness on deeply fibrotic or scarred areas is doubtful.
community Dht kills hair, but no one says why?
DHT affects hair follicles, contributing to hair loss, but the exact mechanism is unclear. Treatments like finasteride and minoxidil are used to manage hair loss, though they may have side effects and varying effectiveness.
community Predict if You'll Shed and Responding to Treatment: Ultrasound Imaging Technology
Ultrasound imaging can predict hair shedding and assess hair growth stages by analyzing hair follicle characteristics. The conversation also discusses using ultrasound for personal hair analysis and mentions the potential use of infrared emission for hair treatment.
community Clearing the air on how non-surgical treatments really work
Treatments for hair loss, including finasteride, dutasteride, minoxidil, ketoconazole, microneedling, and low level laser light therapy, which aim to reduce DHT production, increase cell absorption and blood flow, and stimulate epidermal stem cells. It also stresses the importance of patience when using these treatments.
