Hair Follicle Embryogenesis in Humans: Characterization of Events In Vivo and In Vitro

    December 1991 in “ PubMed ”
    Karen A. Holbrook, Sharon I. Minami
    TLDR The document explains how hair follicles develop in humans.
    The document reviewed the process of hair follicle embryogenesis in humans, detailing the events that occur both in vivo (within a living organism) and in vitro (outside a living organism, in a controlled environment). The study provided a comprehensive characterization of the stages and mechanisms involved in the development of hair follicles, contributing to the understanding of skin and hair biology. This foundational knowledge was crucial for advancing research in dermatology and potential therapeutic approaches for hair-related conditions.

      community Hair follicle cloning is already possible

      in Chat  38 upvotes 8 months ago
      Hair follicle cloning is claimed to be possible but not widely available due to potential safety issues, such as cancer risks. Current treatments like finasteride and dutasteride are not effective for everyone, and there is frustration over limited access to these medications.

      community Hair follicle neogenesis

       6 upvotes 10 years ago
      A user plans to experiment with creating new hair follicles using methods like derma rolling, applying lithium chloride, tannic acid, and various other substances including caffeine, ketoconazole, and raspberry ketones. They also consider using anti-inflammatories, immunosuppressants, and DHT inhibitors to potentially improve results.

      community Minoxidil experiment on single hair follicle

      in Minoxidil  1630 upvotes 1 week ago
      Minoxidil was applied to a single miniaturized hair follicle over four months, resulting in less miniaturization but not yet terminal growth. The user used a 5% minoxidil solution, specifically the Regaine brand, and observed changes using a handheld WiFi microscope.
