Did you mean Hair Follicle Bulge?

Glossary Hair Follicle Bulge

specific region housing stem cells for hair growth

The hair follicle bulge is a specific region located in the outer root sheath of the hair follicle. It serves as a reservoir for stem cells that are crucial for hair growth and regeneration, as well as for repairing the skin after injury. This area is essential for the cyclical nature of hair growth and plays a significant role in conditions like alopecia.

community PP405 Won't Work Long Term: Hair Follicle Damage Due to Abuse of the ISR System

67 upvotes 11 months ago

PP405 may damage hair follicles if used long-term, suggesting cycling might be necessary. Combining it with finasteride could help maintain hair growth.

community Fully functional hair follicle regeneration through the rearrangement of stem cells and their niches

4 upvotes 11 years ago

Hair follicle regeneration through stem cell rearrangement is discussed, focusing on bioengineered cellular structures rather than traditional hair transplants. Treatments mentioned include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.

community PP405 Won’t Work: Follicle Is Miniaturized, Fibrosed, And Missing Key Support Cells

7 months ago

PP405 is ineffective for miniaturized, fibrosed hair follicles in androgenetic alopecia. AMP303 may activate hair follicle stem cells, but minoxidil and finasteride are still the main treatments.

community Hair cloning breakthrough, this might just be the big one ?

418 upvotes 6 months ago

Japanese scientists discovered ABM cells, enabling successful human hair follicle cloning, potentially curing hair loss. The treatment may be available in Japan by 2028, but it will be expensive and require travel.

community How true is the statement: dead follicles don't grow back?

112 upvotes 1 year ago

Hair follicles usually go dormant rather than die, and treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and hormone therapy can sometimes reactivate them, though results vary. Complete regrowth is rare, especially in long-term bald areas, but some individuals see significant improvement with these treatments.

Can long-term use of Fluocinolone affect the health of hair follicles? There is no long-term human trial measuring what topical fluocinolone does to hair follicles; what is documented is the label's warning about skin atrophy with prolonged use, plus a 2007 mouse study suggesting hair-follicle bulge stem cells do not repair steroid-induced atrophy.
