research Alopecia Areata: A tissue specific autoimmune disease of the hair follicle
Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition causing hair loss due to the immune system attacking hair follicles, often influenced by genetics and stress.
research 083 More Expression of IL-17 than IFN-γ from CD49a-negative Tissue-Resident Memory T (Trm) cells at the Hair Bulge and Hair Bulb Region in the Scalp of Chronic Alopecia Areata Patients according to the Foxp3+mTregs depletion
IL-17 and certain immune cells are linked to more severe alopecia areata.
research Cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) forms part of the connective tissue of normal human hair follicles
A protein called COMP is part of the connective tissue in normal human hair follicles and may be important for hair health.
research Hair-follicle associated pluripotent (HAP) stem cells differentiate to beating cardiac tissue sheets
Hair follicle stem cells can become heart muscle cells.
research 368 Methods in Inflammatory Hair Disease Research: Enhanced Multiplex Imaging on Alopecia Areata Tissue Sections
New imaging technology can show up to 40 different markers in hair loss tissue, helping to understand hair disease better.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity 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 DUPA, Non Responders and Connective Tissue Disorders
A 27-year-old male with diffuse hair loss, including the donor area, did not respond to finasteride, dutasteride, or minoxidil. He suspects his hair loss may be linked to a mild connective tissue disorder, possibly affecting the structural support of hair follicles, rather than being purely hormonal.
community Hair theory Scar tissue and Verteporfin
A user suggests that deeper microneedling with Verteporfin injections might help regrow hair in areas with scar tissue, alongside a DHT blocker. Another user explains that hair loss might be due to reduced Wnt/β-Catenin signaling and suggests that treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, and microneedling could potentially reverse it.
community Topical Metformin for Hair Transplant donor area skin/hair regeneration?
Topical Metformin shows potential for regenerating hair follicles and minimizing scarring in hair transplant donor areas, similar to Verteporfin but without its side effects. The discussion suggests considering Metformin for post-hair transplant care, though more human trials are needed.
community Rethinking DHT and Hair Loss: Are We Targeting the Wrong Enemy?
Blocking DHT is not a cure for hair loss; instead, altering how scalp follicles respond to DHT might be more effective. Current treatments like topical finasteride and minoxidil are temporary solutions, and future approaches may involve gene therapy and bioengineering to change follicle behavior.
