    TLDR Improper regulation of hair follicle processes causes hairlessness.
    The document titled "Pathobiology of the hairless phenotype: Dysregulation of hair follicle apoptosis and topobiology during the initiation of follicle cycling" from 1998 discussed the mechanisms underlying the hairless phenotype. The study focused on the dysregulation of hair follicle apoptosis and topobiology, which are critical during the initiation of follicle cycling. The researchers identified that improper regulation of these processes led to the hairless condition, providing insights into the biological pathways involved in hair growth and loss. This research contributed to the understanding of hair follicle biology and potential therapeutic targets for hair loss conditions.

      community Weed/THC effects on hair growth/hair loss, and vitality of organ-culture human follicle studies (research review)

      in Research/Science  4 upvotes 8 months ago
      Cannabis and THC may have mixed effects on hair, with some studies suggesting potential negative impacts on hair growth in isolated hair follicles, but these results are hard to apply to living humans. Treatments like minoxidil and finasteride are commonly used for hair loss, and the effects of cannabis might be neutral or vary based on individual factors.

      community Verteporfin and Microneedling

      Clinical studies by Dr. Barghouthi and Dr. Bloxham indicate that Verteporfin, when used with FUE and FUT hair transplantation methods, shows promise in hair follicle regeneration and minimal scarring due to its ability to inhibit Yes-associated protein (YAP). Microneedling at depths of 3-3.5mm, combined with Verteporfin, could potentially reactivate dormant follicles, although the optimal dosage and application method are still under investigation. Concerns remain about the DHT sensitivity of regenerated follicles, highlighting the need for further research to optimize trauma levels and Verteporfin concentrations to achieve effective and scar-free hair regeneration.

      community Natural Remedies: Polyphenols and Hair Loss

       19 upvotes 6 years ago
      Natural remedies to treat hair loss, such as polyphenols, apple peel extract, grape seed extract, green tea extract, peppermint oil, pumpkin seed oil, apigenin, Ginkgo biloba, red clover extract, olive leaf extract, Ecklonia Cava and Grateloupia elliptica. In addition, terpenes, carotenoids, and tocopherols were discussed as potential treatments.
