TLDR Removing STAT5 from 3D-cultured human skin cells reduces their ability to grow hair.

The study investigated the role of STAT5 in the hair-inducing capacity of human dermal papilla (DP) cells. Researchers used a small interfering RNA (siRNA) approach to knock down STAT5 in 3D-cultured DP spheres and then conducted a patch hair reconstitution assay. They found that when non-trichogenic 2D-cultured human DP cells were induced to form trichogenic DP spheroids, the expression of STAT5 and its target genes was elevated. However, hair follicle induction was significantly impaired when STAT5 (A or B) knock-down DP spheres were implanted with newborn mouse epidermal cells. This suggests that the enhanced trichogenicity of DP spheres is at least partly due to increased STAT5 levels, indicating that STAT5 plays a crucial role in the hair-inducing capacity of DP cells.

community Vitamin C and hair growth PH levels

in Product 31 upvotes 2 years ago

The conversation is about using vitamin C and Magnesium L-Threonate for hair growth by reducing DHT binding to dermal papilla cells. The original post about vitamin C's pH levels and sebum control was possibly removed by a moderator.

in Research/Science 667 upvotes 2 months ago

Androgenetic alopecia is caused by DHT affecting hair growth. Finasteride and minoxidil are used to manage hair loss by blocking DHT and promoting hair growth.

Microneedling for hair restoration involves daily use of a 0.3 mm device and weekly use of a 0.5 mm device. Combining microneedling with Minoxidil can enhance hair growth.

community This is the best time in human history to be fighting hair loss

in Treatment 193 upvotes 2 years ago

This conversation discusses the advancements in treatments for hair loss, including finasteride, dutasteride, minoxidil and new promising treatments such as pyrilutamide and verteporfin. Other treatments discussed were taking minoxidil orally, tretinoin to turn non-responders into responders and microneedling to further boost growth.

community to all people who cannot tolerate anti androgens (loe dose topical fin, pyrilutamide, CB) i am getting desperate, looking for a solution

in Research/Science 13 upvotes 1 year ago

The user tried Minoxidil without success, and Finasteride worked but caused sexual side effects even at a very low dose. They are seeking alternative treatments for hair loss as they cannot tolerate anti-androgens and are also in therapy for mental health.

community Why is Minoxidil not enough for hair loss? (No fin)

in Minoxidil 57 upvotes 6 days ago

Minoxidil alone is often insufficient for treating hair loss because it doesn't address the DHT-related cause. Combining it with finasteride, a DHT blocker, is generally more effective.
