GlossarySecondary Hair Follicles

smaller hair-producing structures that develop alongside primary follicles

Secondary hair follicles are smaller hair-producing structures that develop alongside primary hair follicles, typically in mammals with dense fur or wool. They produce finer, shorter hairs that contribute to the overall thickness and insulation properties of the animal's coat. These follicles are crucial for maintaining the density and texture of the fur, especially in species adapted to cold environments.

community PP405 Won’t Work: Follicle Is Miniaturized, Fibrosed, And Missing Key Support Cells

in Research/Science 6 months ago

PP405 is ineffective for miniaturized, fibrosed hair follicles in androgenetic alopecia. AMP303 may activate hair follicle stem cells, but minoxidil and finasteride are still the main treatments.

community Why is dht bad for scalp hair but good for hair on the rest of body?

in Satire 109 upvotes 3 years ago

The conversation discusses why DHT (dihydrotestosterone) negatively affects scalp hair but promotes growth elsewhere on the body. Various opinions include genetic predispositions, differences in hair follicle reactions to DHT, and the potential role of Omega-3 in reducing inflammation and promoting hair health.

community It’s all about the stem cells…

in Research/Science 51 upvotes 4 years ago

Hair loss is linked to the loss of stem cells in hair follicles, and potential treatments include gene editing and microneedling. Discussions also mention using Minoxidil, finasteride, and dermarolling to improve hair growth.
