research Hair follicle characteristics as early marker of Type 2 Diabetes

13 citations , August 2016 in “Medical Hypotheses”

This review discusses the potential of evaluating hair follicle characteristics as early indicators of vascular impairment and organ damage in pre-diabetic individuals, but reports no new clinical results.

research Ultrastructural Characteristics of Neonate Scalp Hair

July 2016 in “Indian journal of science and technology”

In this study, researchers found that neonate hairs have a distinct microstructure with no medulla and smaller hair follicles compared to adult hairs.

research Preliminary Effects of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy on Hair Follicle Characteristics in Healthy Subjects

February 2026 in “Bioengineering”

This preliminary study suggests that hyperbaric oxygen therapy may improve scalp health and follicle activation in healthy adults, with subjective assessments showing significant improvements despite mixed objective findings.

research Preliminary Effects of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy on Hair Follicle Characteristics in Healthy Subjects

February 2026 in “Preprints.org”

In this preliminary study, HBOT appeared to improve subjective measures of hair and scalp health in healthy adults, but objective changes in follicle density and hair properties were not statistically significant.

research Hair Dermal papilla maintain its hair inducing characteristics via autocrine exosomal miR-23a-3p

July 2025

This study found that intrinsic feedback loops are crucial for maintaining the function of human dermal papilla cells during hair growth, highlighting the importance of autocrine signaling and niche reprogramming for advancing hair follicle biology and regenerative therapies for hair loss.

community Predict if You'll Shed and Responding to Treatment: Ultrasound Imaging Technology

18 upvotes 1 year ago

Ultrasound imaging can predict hair shedding and assess hair growth stages by analyzing hair follicle characteristics. The conversation also discusses using ultrasound for personal hair analysis and mentions the potential use of infrared emission for hair treatment.

community PP405: The Ultimate Hair Loss Drug for Complete Hair Growth

211 upvotes 1 year ago

PP405 is a new hair loss treatment in phase 2 trials that may promote hair growth by increasing lactate production and activating hair follicle stem cells. It could potentially replace hormone-disrupting treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride.

community Demystifying PP405. It is not a mystery cure with constructive criticism as a proof! It is....!!!!

1 upvotes 1 year ago

PP405 is a growth stimulant drug that activates hair follicle stem cells but does not reverse miniaturization like finasteride. It is not a cure for hair loss and is not an alternative to minoxidil, but it may help grow hair if successful.

community why are beard gains on min usually permanent?

in Minoxidil 43 upvotes 1 year ago

Beard gains from minoxidil are usually permanent due to facial hair follicles' lower sensitivity to DHT. Scalp hair requires ongoing DHT suppression with treatments like finasteride, dutasteride, and RU58841 to maintain gains after stopping minoxidil.

community Positive Hair Result in Patient using Tirzepatide

4 upvotes 1 year ago

A 57-year-old man with male pattern hair loss and insulin resistance experienced hair regrowth and weight loss after using tirzepatide, without other hair treatments. Dysregulated glucose metabolism is linked to hair loss, with tirzepatide potentially improving hair density by normalizing insulin resistance.

learn Adenosine

Adenosine: How natural is this ingredient and how does it act on the scalp? Adenosine is a naturally occurring compound that promotes hair growth by extending the anagen phase.

learn Stemoxydine

chemical from L'Oreal that encourages hair to enter growth phase

learn Latanoprost

How does latanoprost work to make eyelashes and possibly scalp hair grow? Studies report that latanoprost, a prostaglandin analog, lengthens the anagen (growth) phase of hair follicles, which is the mechanism given for the eyelash thickening seen in glaucoma patients; on the scalp the evidence is one 16-man pilot study and animal work, so the effect there is unproven.
