research Tp63-expressing adult epithelial stem cells cross lineages boundaries revealing latent hairy skin competence
Adult stem cells with Tp63 can form hair and skin cells when placed in new skin, showing they have hidden abilities for skin repair.
research Switching roles: the functional plasticity of adult tissue stem cells
Adult tissue stem cells can adapt and switch roles to help repair and maintain the body.
research Microenvironmental reprogramming of thymic epithelial cells to skin multipotent stem cells
Scientists turned rat thymus cells into stem cells that can help repair skin and hair.
research Tcf3 and Lef1 regulate lineage differentiation of multipotent stem cells in skin
Tcf3 and Lef1 are key in deciding skin stem cell roles.
research Compartmentalized Epidermal Activation of β-Catenin Differentially Affects Lineage Reprogramming and Underlies Tumor Heterogeneity

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Finasteride after 6 months of use. Progress(?) pictures
A 27-year-old male with androgenetic alopecia has been using finasteride, topical minoxidil, and microneedling for over six months to stabilize hair loss and prepare for a potential hair transplant. While some users suggest switching to dutasteride and increasing minoxidil usage, others note minimal progress, with some hair stabilization but concerns about thinning at the crown.
community Why didn’t Prince William hop on fin/min?
Hair loss discussion explores why Prince William didn't use treatments like finasteride or minoxidil. Reasons include indifference to appearance, potential side effects, and royal responsibilities.
community New Hair Loss Cure: AMP-303 Is Back. It’s what PP405 should have been.
AMP-303 and AMP-601 are new hair loss treatments targeting dermal papilla cells, with AMP-303 showing early efficacy in transitioning vellus hairs to terminal hairs after one injection. Further clinical trials are planned, and these treatments are seen as promising due to their biologic approach and less frequent application compared to daily treatments.
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.
community Verteporfin and Microneedling
Clinical studies by Dr. Barghouthi and Dr. Bloxham indicate that Verteporfin, when used with FUE and FUT hair transplantation methods, shows promise in hair follicle regeneration and minimal scarring due to its ability to inhibit Yes-associated protein (YAP). Microneedling at depths of 3-3.5mm, combined with Verteporfin, could potentially reactivate dormant follicles, although the optimal dosage and application method are still under investigation. Concerns remain about the DHT sensitivity of regenerated follicles, highlighting the need for further research to optimize trauma levels and Verteporfin concentrations to achieve effective and scar-free hair regeneration.
