research Balding hair follicle dermal papilla cells contain higher levels of androgen receptors than those from non-balding scalp

227 citations , January 1998 in “Journal of Endocrinology”

This study found that dermal papilla cells from balding scalp hair follicles have significantly higher levels of androgen receptors than those from non-balding follicles, supporting their in vivo androgen response.

research Dihydrotestosterone-Inducible Dickkopf 1 from Balding Dermal Papilla Cells Causes Apoptosis in Follicular Keratinocytes

171 citations , July 2007 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

The researchers reported that DHT-inducible DKK-1 may play a significant role in DHT-driven balding by inhibiting hair follicle cell growth and promoting apoptosis in androgenetic alopecia.

research Differential Expression between Human Dermal Papilla Cells from Balding and Non-Balding Scalps Reveals New Candidate Genes for Androgenetic Alopecia

46 citations , April 2016 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

This study suggests that down-regulation of vasculature-related genes in dermal papilla cells from balding scalps might contribute to the development of androgenetic alopecia.

research 600 Differential Molecular Signature of Dermal Papilla Cells (DPCs) from Balding and Non balding Scalp in 2D, 3D culture and Co-culture with Adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs)

September 2019 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

This study found that co-culturing dermal papilla cells in a 3D structure with adipose-derived stem cells may enhance the expression of hair inductivity markers compared to 2D cultures.

research The study of the altering of cytokines and growth factors secreted by cultured balding dermal papilla cells

January 2012

This study found that neurotrophins produced by balding dermal papilla cells inhibited both their proliferation and hair follicle growth in vitro, suggesting a potential role in androgenetic alopecia.

community The new growth in hair loss research: With increasing evidence of its impact on mental health, scientists are pushing forward with breakthroughs on balding. Later this year, scientists will launch one of the first ever clinical trials with hair follicles grown entirely from stem cells.

324 upvotes 7 years ago

Hair loss impacts mental health, with treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, and stem cell transplants discussed. There is hope for future breakthroughs, but current treatments are limited, and awareness is lacking.

community The end of balding: We may have just found the secret to hair regrowth

in Technology 680 upvotes 1 year ago

MCL-1 is important for hair follicle stem cell survival, but its impact on human hair regrowth is unclear. Minoxidil and finasteride are the main treatments, with doubts about new discoveries leading to effective human solutions soon.

community I Guess balding is cured so should we close subreddit and move to hairstyling photos 😁 Botox-like nerve blocking reveals potential way to fully regenerate skin without scarring

6 months ago

Baldness is difficult to cure because current treatments like finasteride, dutasteride, and minoxidil only prevent hair shedding, and new developments are mostly ineffective. Botox shows potential in aiding skin regeneration and hair growth, but maintenance therapy with treatments like dutasteride and minoxidil may still be necessary.

community Stem cell feat may lead to fix for baldness

17 upvotes 12 years ago

The conversation discusses the complexity of reversing hair loss and the need for a treatment that specifically targets DHT levels without affecting other bodily functions. It mentions finasteride as a current treatment but highlights the desire for a solution that works solely on the scalp.

community New Peer-Reviewed Publication Further Validates RepliCel's Use of Dermal Sheath Cup Cells to Treat Pattern Baldness - Paper entitled "Hair Follicle Dermal Stem Cells Regenerate the Dermal Sheath, Repopulate the Dermal Papilla, and Modulate Hair Type" published journal Developmental Cell

13 upvotes 11 years ago

A new treatment using dermal sheath cup cells may regrow hair and could require repeat treatments every 8 years. Users discuss ongoing trials and plan to use finasteride and minoxidil until the treatment is available.
