androgenetic alopecia dermal papilla cells protein expression Western blot immunofluorescence analysis pathogenesis biomarker candidates AGA DPCs

TLDR Found different proteins in balding and non-balding cells, giving insight into hair loss causes.

The study analyzed the protein expression of balding and non-balding dermal papilla cells from patients with androgenetic alopecia. The researchers identified differentially expressed proteins in balding DPCs compared to non-balding DPCs and confirmed some proteins belonging to the relevant pathways by Western blot and immunofluorescence analysis. The study provides insight into the pathogenesis of AGA and identifies potential biomarker candidates.

community Diffuse hair loss and scalp biopsies

in Research 692 upvotes 3 months 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.

community The Real Cause Of Androgenetic Alopecia

in Research/Science 667 upvotes 1 month 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.

community Fats on your Head to Stop Hair Loss?

in Research/Science 138 upvotes 9 months ago

The conversation discusses the potential of long-chain unsaturated fatty acids, like oleic and linoleic acid, as an additional treatment for hair loss, which may inhibit the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone to DHT and promote hair growth. Users humorously suggest using oils topically and discuss other hair loss treatments, but the main focus is on the science behind fatty acids and their role in hair health.
