GlossaryHistopathology

study of diseased tissues under a microscope

Histopathology, also known as histological pathology, is the study of diseased tissues under a microscope. It involves examining tissue samples to identify abnormalities, such as cancerous cells or signs of inflammation, which can help diagnose various medical conditions. This detailed analysis is crucial for understanding the underlying pathology of diseases and guiding appropriate treatment plans.

community Another molecular pathway to promote scarless healing and regenerate hair follicles

in Research/Science 13 upvotes 2 months ago

Carnosic acid in rosemary extract may enhance skin repair and promote hair follicle regeneration. It could be used alone or with verteporfin for scarless healing after dermal wounding.

community If You Have DUPA, PLEASE READ THIS: Everyone Should Be Scalp Biopsied

in Research 830 upvotes 1 year ago

Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.

community A new study by Deng and colleagues set out to explore differences between balding and non balding scalps...

in Research/Science 38 upvotes 4 years ago

Balding scalps have more androgen receptors, leading to increased TGF-beta, which causes blood vessel loss and hair follicle miniaturization. Blocking androgen signaling and TGF-beta may help prevent hair loss.

community [Discussion] Trichoscopy in sudden-onset AGA: Pathology and reversibility of "Yellow Dots" without 5AR-inhibitors?

in Research/Science 4 upvotes 6 days ago

Hair loss treatments discussed include microneedling, minoxidil, tretinoin, finasteride, dutasteride, pumpkin seeds, saw palmetto, and scalp massage. The consensus is that finasteride or dutasteride is necessary for significant regrowth, while other methods may only slow hair loss.

community Summaries of Finasteride Studies

in Research/Science 20 upvotes 9 months ago

Finasteride is effective in promoting hair growth and reversing hair miniaturization in men with androgenetic alopecia, with improvements seen in various studies over different durations. Some users report initial side effects like ball ache, which often resolve as the body adjusts.
