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.

community Why did this recent research paper from professor Tsuji lab in Japan largely go unnoticed by this sub? Isn't this discovery huge? (hair cloning)

35 upvotes 4 months ago

A recent discovery in hair cloning identified a previously unknown cell type essential for hair follicle growth, which could potentially make lab-grown hair viable if translated to humans. However, skepticism remains due to past delays and the challenges of replicating results in humans and making the process affordable.

5 upvotes 2 years ago

The user is using minoxidil and finasteride to treat hair loss and is concerned about shedding and potential aggressive hair loss. They noticed some regrowth in trichoscopy pictures but are unsure about real-life changes.

community Fully functional hair follicle regeneration through the rearrangement of stem cells and their niches

4 upvotes 11 years ago

Hair follicle regeneration through stem cell rearrangement is discussed, focusing on bioengineered cellular structures rather than traditional hair transplants. Treatments mentioned include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.

community Why not move miniaturized hair follicles somewhere else to treat them? Alternative to hair cloning?

4 upvotes 1 year ago

Exploring the idea of transplanting miniaturized hair follicles to healthier areas to potentially reverse hair loss, with concerns about DHT sensitivity and scar tissue formation. The conversation also humorously considers using mice for hair growth experiments.
