Dicer- and Bulge Stem Cell-Dependent MicroRNAs During Induced Anagen Hair Follicle Development

    May 2020 in “ Frontiers in cell and developmental biology ”

    TLDR MicroRNAs are important for hair growth regulation, with Dicer being crucial and Tarbp2 less significant.
    The study investigated the role of Dicer and bulge stem cell-dependent microRNAs in hair follicle development during the anagen phase. It found that Dicer, essential for microRNA processing, was crucial for the proper function and maintenance of hair follicle stem cells, with its absence leading to impaired hair growth and follicle development. Tarbp2 was not essential for anagen development. The research highlighted the importance of Dicer-dependent microRNA biogenesis in post-natal hair follicle growth and suggested that targeting microRNA pathways could be a potential therapeutic strategy for hair loss conditions. The study provided insights into the molecular mechanisms governing hair growth and the potential for developing new treatments for alopecia.

      The user experienced subtle hair growth improvements using finasteride, dutasteride, and minoxidil over nearly three years, with notable progress at the temples. The front hairline shows quicker regrowth cycles, but the vertex and crown remain unchanged.
