research Defining Skin Fibroblastic Cell Types Beyond CD90
The conclusion is that CD90 is not a specific marker for fibroblast subtypes and better methods are needed to identify them.
research Isolation of a Novel Population of Multipotent Adult Stem Cells from Human Hair Follicles
Human hair follicles can provide stem cells for regenerative medicine.
research Induction of Cardiomyocyte-Like Cells from Hair Follicle Cells in Mice
Mouse hair follicle cells can become heart-like cells without genetic changes.
research DNA Dioxygenases Tet2/3 Regulate Gene Promoter Accessibility and Chromatin Topology in Lineage-Specific Loci to Control Epithelial Differentiation
The enzymes Tet2 and Tet3 are important for skin cell development and hair growth.
research Epithelial-Mesenchymal Micro-Niches Govern Stem Cell Lineage Choices
Different small areas within hair follicles send specific signals that control what type of cells stem cells become.

5 / 20 resultscommunity 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 My Theory Of Androgenic Alopecia
Hair loss is linked to cellular physiology and the IGF-1 to TGF-B1 ratio, not just androgen sensitivity. The theory lacks evidence, while finasteride and minoxidil are effective treatments.
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 Are the japanese Finasteride 10 year studies even relevant to caucasian men - especially young ones?
The conversation is about the effectiveness of hair loss treatments, specifically finasteride and dutasteride, in different populations. Some users believe that the results of Japanese studies may not be relevant to Caucasian men, especially young ones, and that East Asians may respond better to these treatments. Others argue that clinical studies should be the basis for decision-making, while acknowledging that individual responses to medications can vary.
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.
