research From hair to heart: nestin-expressing hair-follicle-associated pluripotent (HAP) stem cells differentiate to beating cardiac muscle cells
Hair follicle stem cells can become heart muscle cells.
research Early-age-dependent selective decrease of differentiation potential of hair-follicle-associated pluripotent (HAP) stem cells to beating cardiac-muscle cells
Younger mice's hair-follicle stem cells are better at turning into heart cells than older mice's.
research The cDNA-deduced amino acid sequence for trichohyalin, a differentiation marker in the hair follicle, contains a 23 amino acid repeat.
Trichohyalin, a hair follicle protein, has a part with repeating patterns of 23 amino acids.
research The Enrichment of Specific Hair Follicle-Associated Cell Populations in Plucked Hairs Offers an Opportunity to Study Gene Expression Underlying Hair Traits
Plucked hairs can be used instead of skin biopsies to study hair traits because they contain specific cells related to hair.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity The most depressing things about hair loss for me
The emotional impact of hair loss and the risks associated with common treatments such as finasteride, dutasteride, minoxidil, RU58841, and Fluridil. People discussed their personal experiences with these treatments, including potential side effects and lowered fertility. Hair transplants were also mentioned as a possible solution.
community The MPB itch aka DHT itch is very real.
Hair loss itch is caused by DHT attacking follicles and stimulating nerves. Finasteride users who respond well don't experience this itch.
community Keratin microspheres - breakthrough
A gel of keratin microspheres promotes hair follicle growth, showing similar effectiveness to minoxidil in mice. The treatment activates hair growth pathways and reduces inflammation, with potential applications in drug delivery for hair-related disorders.
community Haircafe slams pp405 presentation. Are results really that bad?
PP405 shows promise in activating dormant hair follicles and increasing hair counts but lacks detailed efficacy data compared to minoxidil and finasteride. Opinions are mixed, with some optimism and skepticism about its effectiveness.
community Why do we have head hair in first place if we evolved to start losing it in some cases as soon as puberty hits
Hair loss is influenced by genetics and sensitivity to hormones like DHT. Treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride are commonly used, and baldness persists as it doesn't affect reproductive success.
