    TLDR Hair structure worsens as tumors grow in mice.
    The study investigated the structural differences in the hair of healthy mice compared to those with malignant tumors. It was found that as the tumor developed, the structure of the hair deteriorated, with a decrease in the number and thickness of cells in the external hair layer. These changes were observable even when the tumor was small. The findings suggested potential improvements in optical techniques for biomedical cancer diagnostics.

      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.

      Hair follicles can be dormant and potentially revived with treatments like finasteride and minoxidil, but irreversible loss occurs if certain structures are destroyed. Early intervention is more effective, and additional methods like microneedling may help.

      in Research/Science  14 upvotes 1 year ago
      The conversation discusses the lack of public information on the chemical structure of PP405, a hair loss treatment, and the challenges of synthesizing it without a patent. It also explores a patent related to hydrogen-based topical formulations for reducing oxidative stress and inflammation.
