Different small areas within hair follicles send specific signals that control what type of cells stem cells become.
research Vitamin A resolves lineage plasticity to orchestrate stem cell lineage choices
Vitamin A helps skin stem cells decide their function, aiding in hair growth and wound repair.
research Pioneer factors govern super-enhancer dynamics in stem cell plasticity and lineage choice
Super-enhancers controlled by pioneer factors like SOX9 are crucial for stem cell adaptability and identity.

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 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 Does whey protein and creatine aggravate hair loss?
The conversation discusses whether whey protein and creatine worsen hair loss. Some users report hair loss with creatine use, while others do not; opinions on whey protein's effects are mixed. Treatments mentioned include PRP, minoxidil, and finasteride.
community 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 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.
