research Cross-Interactions of BMP and WNT Signaling Pathways Attenuate Androgen Effect on Hair Follicle Stem Cell Differentiation
BMPs are important for hair growth and can counteract the negative effects of androgens on hair follicle stem cells.
research Bone Morphogenetic Proteins Are Critical Factors for Hair Follicle Epithelial-Mesenchymal Interactions in Androgenetic Alopecia
Bone Morphogenetic Proteins (BMPs) are important for hair growth, and their decrease due to hormones could lead to hair loss, but adding more BMPs could promote hair growth.
research Bone Morphogenetic Proteins Are Critical Factors for Hair Follicle Epithelial-Mesenchymal Interactions in Androgenetic Alopecia
BMPs are crucial for hair growth and their decrease by androgens leads to hair loss.
research Spatiotemporal Antagonism in Mesenchymal-Epithelial Signaling in Sweat Versus Hair Fate Decision
Sweat glands and hair follicles are determined by opposing signals, with BMPs promoting sweat glands and blocking BMPs leading to hair follicles.

2 / 2 resultscommunity A concise, easy-to-understand post on Androgenic Alopecia theory and its practical applications
The mechanism of Androgenic Alopecia and practical applications of treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, RU58841, dermarolling, scalp massages, anti-fungals, progesterone, estrogen, PPAR-γ activators, reducing oxidative stress, and scalp exercises. It explains why DHT is important in AA and how other factors might be involved such as hypoxia, increased DKK-1 expression, morphological changes to the scalp, skull growth during childhood/puberty, and blood flow.
community UPDATE: The theory that explains everything. Please help me make this big!
Hair loss theory involves 3alpha-hydroxysteroid reductase (3AHD) converting DHT to androstenol. Discussion explores potential treatments and encourages more research.
