Research on Expression of Retinoid-Related Orphan Receptor (ROR) in the Skin of Cashmere Goat

January 2010 in “ China Animal Husbandry & Veterinary Medicine ”

Jinquan Li

TLDR RORs may influence cashmere growth cycles.

The study investigated the expression of retinoid-related orphan receptors (RORα, RORβ, and RORγ) in the skin of Inner Mongolia cashmere goats to determine if melatonin's effects might involve nuclear receptors. mRNA was extracted and analyzed from different stages of hair follicle development. The results showed that RORα, RORβ, and RORγ mRNA were expressed during catagen (January), early anagen (May), and anagen (September) phases, but not during the telogen phase (March). This suggested that RORs might be related to the cyclical growth of cashmere.

community My experimental hair loss journey under medical supervision: finasteride/dutasteride, oral/topical minoxidil+tretinoin (3-month progress and hair transplant insights for those considering it)

in Treatment 41 upvotes 2 months ago

A 23-year-old discusses their hair loss treatment using finasteride, dutasteride, oral and topical minoxidil, and topical tretinoin under medical supervision. They stress stabilizing hair loss before a hair transplant and plan to continue the regimen for at least 18 months.

community Tretinoin for some men(not all) can cause non-telogen effluvium hair loss

in Research/Science 6 upvotes 3 months ago

Tretinoin can cause non-telogen hair loss in some men by inducing catagen-like changes in hair follicles and through retinoid toxicity, especially when used with minoxidil. Some users report hair loss even when using retinoids on the face, while others experience benefits when combined with treatments like finasteride and minoxidil.

community Tazarotene shows strong standalone hair regrowth potential, not just a Minoxidil enhancer. Backed by VEGF, HF regeneration, and angiogenesis pathways. Here’s why.

in Research/Science 133 upvotes 3 months ago

Tazarotene shows potential as a standalone treatment for hair regrowth by stimulating new hair follicle formation and promoting angiogenesis, similar to microneedling effects. It can be used topically without minoxidil, but users should start with a low concentration to avoid irritation.

community Has anybody tried retinol (not Retin A aka tretinoin) combined with minoxidil?

in Treatment 19 upvotes 3 years ago

The conversation is about someone who had success using retinol with minoxidil for hair growth, but experienced shedding with Retin A (tretinoin). They are asking if others have tried retinol with minoxidil and what their results were.

community UPDATE: The theory that explains everything. Please help me make this big!

in Research/Science 441 upvotes 4 years ago

Hair loss theory involves 3alpha-hydroxysteroid reductase (3AHD) converting DHT to androstenol. Discussion explores potential treatments and encourages more research.

community Minoxidil seems logistically impossible and impractical to use

in Minoxidil 136 upvotes 2 years ago

The post discusses concerns about the practicality of using Minoxidil foam for hair loss, including the frequency of application, preparation, coverage area, and drying time. Responses suggest that missing a dose isn't detrimental, it can be applied once a day, it works on all hair areas, and it doesn't need to be perfectly dry before application.
