Research
5 / 1000+ resultsresearch Modeling of Ionizing Radiation Induced Hair Follicle Regenerative Dynamics
Hair follicles can regenerate after radiation damage but not during a specific growth phase.
research Expression of Keratin K14 in the Epidermis and Hair Follicle: Insights Into Complex Programs of Differentiation
Keratin K14 expression varies between hair follicles and epidermis, affecting cell differentiation.
research Expression of Nerve Growth Factor in Skin Tissues and Its Effect on the Proliferation of Outer Root Sheath Cells in Cashmere Goats
Nerve growth factor helps cashmere goat hair cells grow and is more active during the hair growth phase.
research Expression of the Intermediate Filament Keratin Gene K15 in the Basal Cell Layers of Epithelia and the Hair Follicle
K15 gene is mainly active in the basal layers of hair follicles and epithelia, aiding early skin cell development.
research Matriptase Expression and Zymogen Activation in Human Pilosebaceous Unit
Matriptase is highly active in hair follicles and sebaceous glands, especially during hair growth phases.

Some people may not respond to topical minoxidil due to low SULT1A1 enzyme activity, but oral minoxidil can be effective. Tretinoin may enhance minoxidil's effectiveness, and some users prefer oral minoxidil despite side effects.
community Hair loss research focused on chemistry for decades because we misunderstood the mechanics of growth.
Hair growth relies on mechanical forces, not just chemicals, with tissue acting like a motor. Minoxidil and finasteride help, but maintaining tissue elasticity and addressing mechanical issues are essential.
community Minoxidil Response Bottlenecks: Why Sulfation and Transport Matter (And Where Tretinoin Fits In)
Minoxidil's effectiveness is limited by the need for sulfation and proper transport to hair follicles, with tretinoin potentially enhancing its effects by promoting enzyme activity and keratinocyte differentiation. Tretinoin may improve minoxidil's response by boosting the expression of necessary enzymes and transporters.
community The Real Cause Of Androgenetic Alopecia
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 A Theory on Why Microneedling Works
Microneedling may enhance hair regrowth by transferring stem cells to dormant follicles, improving the effects of minoxidil. Users discuss using microneedling with needle lengths around 1.5mm to stimulate hair growth.
