research A Niche Above: A Novel Modality of Stem Cell Regulation in Mammalian Skin Epidermis

March 2021 in “Cell stem cell”

This study found that actomyosin contractility in suprabasal keratinocytes influences the proliferation and differentiation of epidermal stem/progenitor cells by acting as a niche element in the skin.

research Investigating the role of notch ligands regulating epidermal stem cell differentiation

January 2025 in “eScholarship@McGill (McGill)”

In this study, loss of the Notch ligand Jag2 in mouse epidermal cells disrupted early differentiation and affected the structure and behavior of adjacent melanocytes, highlighting Jag2's role in epidermal differentiation and tissue homeostasis.

DermaCult Keratinocyte Expansion Medium: A Serum- and BPE-Free Medium Supporting Long-Term Feeder-Free Expansion of Primary Human Epidermal and Pluripotent Stem Cell-Derived Keratinocytes

research 566 DermaCult™ Keratinocyte Expansion Medium, a Serum- and BPE-free Medium Supporting Long-term Feeder-free Expansion of Primary Human Epidermal and Pluripotent Stem Cell-Derived Keratinocytes

November 2022 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

This study found that DermaCult™ Keratinocyte Expansion Medium allows for significantly extended growth of human epidermal keratinocytes while maintaining their differentiation potential.

research Cell cycle controls long-range calcium signaling in the regenerating epidermis

22 citations , April 2023 in “The Journal of Cell Biology”

In this study, researchers found that coordinated intercellular Ca2+ signaling among basal stem cells in mice is crucial for cell cycle progression and tissue-wide communication during epidermal regeneration.

research Epidermal keratinocyte stem cells: their maintenance and regulation

25 citations , December 1992 in “Seminars in cell biology”

This review discusses how epidermal Langerhan's cells and dermal cells may influence keratinocyte environments, potentially aiding in the formation of stem cell niches and cellular variety in the basal layer, without providing novel results.

community Doctor says i shouldn't take fin because its "hormonal"

102 upvotes 2 years ago

A user in Turkey was advised by a dermatologist to avoid finasteride due to its hormonal effects and was prescribed minoxidil, shampoo, and vitamins instead. The user is considering seeking another doctor's opinion or buying finasteride directly from a pharmacy.

community The case of a 78 year old man who accidentally regrew his hair (published in the British Medical Journal)

in Chat 213 upvotes 10 months ago

A 78-year-old man regrew hair after suffering burns, suggesting that injury-induced healing processes might trigger hair growth. Microneedling and other treatments like minoxidil and finasteride are discussed as potential methods to stimulate similar regrowth.

community Fats on your Head to Stop Hair Loss?

140 upvotes 2 years ago

The conversation discusses the potential of long-chain unsaturated fatty acids, like oleic and linoleic acid, as an additional treatment for hair loss, which may inhibit the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone to DHT and promote hair growth. Users humorously suggest using oils topically and discuss other hair loss treatments, but the main focus is on the science behind fatty acids and their role in hair health.
