MicroRNA-148a Controls Epidermal and Hair Follicle Stem/Progenitor Cells by Modulating the Activities of ROCK1 and ELF5

miR-205, a tiny RNA, can stimulate hair growth by softening aging hair follicle stem cells in mice. Future tests aim to see if this can work in humans.

The conversation discusses hair regrowth progress using Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841. It highlights the transformation of vellus hairs into terminal hairs in a Norwood 6 frontal area.

A potential breakthrough in hair loss treatment involves softening hair follicle stem cells, but its effectiveness in humans is uncertain. Users express skepticism, noting past successes in mice that haven't translated to human treatments.

The user is using Dutasteride, Minoxidil, microneedling, RU58841, and tretinoin for hair loss. They are experiencing shedding but notice new hair growth and are curious about the timing of future shedding phases.

A user with long-term hair loss has been using topical minoxidil, finasteride, RU58841, ketoconazole, and dermastamping for 8 months. They are unsure if the new hairs are miniaturized or vellus.

Hair loss treatments like finasteride and minoxidil can cause cycles of shedding and regrowth, leading to fluctuating emotions. Users experience periods of hair improvement followed by shedding, with some finding long-term stabilization elusive.
