research Langerin+ Dendritic Cells in Cutaneous Fibrosis: The TGF-β1 Signaling Axis
Targeting specific cell interactions may help treat skin fibrosis.
research 270 A novel small compound HPH-15 antagonizes TGF-β/Smad signaling and ameliorates experimental skin fibrosis
HPH-15, a new compound, effectively reduces skin fibrosis in experiments without causing harm.
research TGF-β Family Signaling in Epithelial Differentiation and Epithelial–Mesenchymal Transition
The TGF-β family helps control how cells change and move, affecting skin, hair, and organ development.
research TGF-β family signaling in stem cells
TGF-β signaling is crucial for stem cell maintenance, differentiation, and has implications for cancer treatment.
research TGF-β Signaling: a Potential Therapeutic Target of Single Herbs and Extracts for Renal Fibrosis

5 / 19 resultscommunity HLT Megathread on HMI-115 (key takeaways in comments)
HMI-115, a newly discovered hair loss treatment that could potentially be effective for those with diffuse thinning and telogen effluvium. It is based on prolactin receptor antagonist signaling and has already undergone Phase I trials in women, with potential commercialization by 2027.
community Reducing Fibrosis in Hair Loss: Topical Pirfenidone
Topical pirfenidone is highlighted as an effective anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic treatment for hair loss, particularly in addressing perifollicular fibrosis, which may enhance the effectiveness of standard treatments like finasteride and minoxidil. The user also uses calcipotriol, MCT oil, ciclopirox shampoo, and benzoyl peroxide shampoo as part of their regimen.
community PP405 Won’t Work: Follicle Is Miniaturized, Fibrosed, And Missing Key Support Cells
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 Scalp testosterone does NOT cause hair loss, what is this baseless claim ?
DHT, not testosterone, causes hair loss. Treatments like finasteride, dutasteride, and RU58841 target DHT to manage hair loss.
community Opinions on Scalp fibrosis and DHT?
The conversation discusses the theory that scalp fibrosis contributes to male pattern baldness (MPB) by increasing DHT concentration, and mentions treatments like Minoxidil. The user seeks opinions on the theory and the effectiveness of scalp massages.
