5 / 1000+ resultsresearch Expression of the hair stem cell-specific marker nestin in epidermal and follicular tumors.
Trichilemmoma, BCC, and SCC tumors have different stem cell marker expressions.
research 186 Dissecting the role of the common neurotrophin receptor CD271 in the skin: generation and characterization of a novel mouse model with keratinocyte-specific conditional deletion
Deleting the CD271 gene in mouse skin cells leads to disorganized skin and increased hair growth, suggesting CD271 is important for skin health.
research KIF18B is a cell-type specific regulator of spindle orientation in the epidermis
KIF18B is important for correctly positioning cell division machinery in skin cells, affecting hair follicle development.
research Keratinocyte-Specific Onset of Serine Protease BSSP Expression in Experimental Carcinogenesis
BSSP may help skin tumors grow and could be a marker or target for skin cancer treatment.
research Nestin as a marker of unipotent epithelial progenitor cells differentiate into outer root sheath keratinocytes in embryonic and adult hair follicles
Nestin-expressing cells turn into a specific type of skin cell in hair follicles during development and in adults.

5 / 44 resultscommunity 30-Min Dermatology Visit – Best Questions to Ask About Balding? ( 175$ )
The conversation discusses hair loss treatments, focusing on finasteride, minoxidil, and other options like PRP and ketoconazole. It highlights the importance of asking specific questions during a dermatology visit to determine the cause of hair loss and appropriate treatments.
community Minoxidil Response Bottlenecks: Why Sulfation and Transport Matter (And Where Tretinoin Fits In)
Minoxidil's effectiveness is limited by the need for sulfation and proper transport to hair follicles, with tretinoin potentially enhancing its effects by promoting enzyme activity and keratinocyte differentiation. Tretinoin may improve minoxidil's response by boosting the expression of necessary enzymes and transporters.
community Painkillers May Block Minoxidil
Painkillers like Aspirin may reduce Minoxidil's effectiveness by inhibiting the enzyme PGHS-1, which is crucial for hair growth. Using NSAIDs that inhibit COX-2 or combining Minoxidil with PGF2/E2 analogues or retinoids may enhance its efficacy.
community Being Safe on Oral Minoxidil: tl;dr on the literature.
Oral minoxidil is effective for hair loss but can cause cardiovascular side effects, such as pericardial effusion, especially in those with genetic predispositions. Starting with low doses and monitoring cardiovascular health are advised to reduce risks.
community HairClone developing cell replacement treatments for Hair Loss
HairClone is developing cell replacement treatments to rejuvenate and generate hair follicles, and has launched a crowdfunding campaign. A user expressed skepticism about the need for crowdfunding.
