hair follicle dermal papilla cells mitochondria platelet-derived growth factor-AA ATP optic atrophy 1 OPA1 HFDPCs PDGF-AA

TLDR Mitochondria change shape to meet energy needs during cell movement.

The study reported that hair follicle dermal papilla cells (HFDPCs) contained two types of mitochondria: filamentous and rounded. Platelet-derived growth factor-AA (PDGF-AA) shifted the balance towards filamentous mitochondria, which produced more ATP and were present during cellular migration. The inner membrane protein optic atrophy 1 (OPA1) was involved in the transition between filamentous and rounded mitochondria, suggesting it provided rigidity to filamentous mitochondria. In contrast, other cells like breast cancer cells used small fragmented mitochondria during migration. The study discussed the regulation of mitochondrial morphology across different cellular systems, noting that mitochondria generally became slender or smaller during energy-demanding activities.

community My derm said they came up with a new serum that is better then fin? What’s y’all’s thoughts

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 2 weeks ago

A new serum claims to enhance hair regrowth by amplifying oxygen delivery, improving the effectiveness of treatments like exosomes and peptides. Users are skeptical, questioning its efficacy compared to established treatments like Minoxidil and Finasteride.

community If You Have DUPA, PLEASE READ THIS: Everyone Should Be Scalp Biopsied

in Research 830 upvotes 1 year ago

Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.

The conversation discusses hair loss treatments, focusing on finasteride, minoxidil, and other options like PRP and ketoconazole. It highlights the importance of asking specific questions during a dermatology visit to determine the cause of hair loss and appropriate treatments.

community Looks like a real cure to the root of baldness (DHT-induced senescence) was proven earlier this year

in Research/Science 738 upvotes 3 years ago

A study that outlines the full model for androgenic alopecia (AGA) which links DHT to cellular senescence in dermal papilla cells, and suggests black chokeberry as a source of cyanidin 3-O-arabinoside polyphenol with potential anti-oxidant properties that could reverse this process. The post encourages reaching out to experts in anti-aging and longevity to research treatments involving the polyphenol.

community Nice product I discovered, thought I would share.

in Treatment 456 upvotes 9 months ago

A product that makes hair look thicker and healthier without promoting regrowth. Discussions include treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, red light therapy, and a serum with caffeine and peptides, with mixed effectiveness opinions.

community How ET-02 Works. Also no proof that it's better than Minoxidil. At least for now.

in Research/Science 45 upvotes 1 year ago

ET-02, a PAI-1 inhibitor, is not proven to be more effective than Minoxidil for hair loss. Other treatments like finasteride, dutasteride, PP405, and AMP-303 are also discussed, focusing on cellular senescence and oxidative stress.
