GlossaryHair Follicle Stem Cells

specialized cells in hair follicles that regenerate hair and skin

Hair Follicle Stem Cells (HFSCs) are specialized cells located in the bulge region of hair follicles. They play a crucial role in the growth and regeneration of hair by periodically activating to produce new hair shafts and contribute to the repair of skin injuries. These cells have the unique ability to self-renew and differentiate into various cell types, making them essential for maintaining healthy hair and skin.

community The ending of alopecia? Corticosterone inhibits GAS6 to govern hair follicle stem-cell quiescence

in Research/Science 64 upvotes 4 years ago

Corticosterone inhibits GAS6, affecting hair follicle stem-cell activity, with potential implications for stress-related hair loss. Ashwagandha and Vitamin K are suggested for reducing cortisol, but their effectiveness is debated.

community Baldness Breakthrough: microRNA Stimulates Hair Growth in Aging Follicles

in Technology 321 upvotes 3 years ago

miR-205, a tiny RNA, can stimulate hair growth by softening aging hair follicle stem cells in mice. Future tests aim to see if this can work in humans.

community How Does Exosome Therapy Work for Hair Loss?

in Research/Science 5 upvotes 2 years ago

Exosome hair therapy involves injecting stem cell-derived exosomes into the scalp to boost hair follicle regeneration and repair. Exosomes, which are not stem cells but products of them, contain bioactive chemicals and specific growth factors that promote new blood vessel formation, increase cell proliferation, reduce inflammation, and improve tissue repair, all crucial for hair health.
