research The PDGF/PDGFR Pathway as a Drug Target
The PDGF/PDGFR pathway is a potential drug target with mixed success in treating various diseases, including some cancers and fibrosis.
research Regulation of Adipocyte Dedifferentiation at the Skin Wound Edge
Adipocytes can change into fibroblast-like cells to help with wound healing.
research Platelet-Derived Growth Factor Signaling Modulates Adult Hair Follicle Dermal Stem Cell Maintenance and Self-Renewal
PDGF signaling is crucial for maintaining and renewing hair follicle stem cells, which could help treat hair loss.
research The Mechanism of Activated Platelet-Rich Plasma Supernatant Promotion of Hair Growth by Cultured Dermal Papilla Cells
Activated platelet-rich plasma helps hair growth by boosting growth factors and cell growth pathways in hair cells.
research PDGFA Regulation of Dermal Adipocyte Stem Cells
PDGF signaling is crucial for maintaining fat stem cells in the skin, and its level of activation can either preserve these cells or cause fibrosis.

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 Comprehensive Microneedling Guide
Microneedling for hair restoration involves daily use of a 0.3 mm device and weekly use of a 0.5 mm device. Combining microneedling with Minoxidil can enhance hair growth.
community 2 years later I managed to gain some ground (Hyperresponder)
The user regained most of their hair using Minoxidil, Finasteride, and Dermarolling. They found Dermarolling particularly effective, as it promotes growth factors and improves hair thickness.
community Surprisingly thorough study on He-Shou-Wu/Fo Ti
He Shou Wu (Fo Ti) extract was found to prolong the hair growth phase, inhibit 5-alpha-reductase (like finasteride), reduce androgen receptors, and increase growth factors, potentially outperforming minoxidil in recovering hair follicle size after DHT exposure. Two compounds, emodin and TSG, are identified as responsible for these effects and warrant further investigation.
community What should I expect from dutasteride?
The user tried Minoxidil, PRP, Hair Carboxytherapy, and topical Dutasteride with limited success and is now on oral Dutasteride. They are experiencing some hair loss reduction but no significant density improvement, leading to feelings of depression.
