research TRPA1 Modulates Mechanotransduction in Cutaneous Sensory Neurons

286 citations , April 2009 in “The journal of neuroscience/The Journal of neuroscience”

This study found that TRPA1-deficient mice exhibited normal cold sensitivity but had decreased mechanical response in nociceptors, suggesting TRPA1's role in mechanotransduction.

research Distribution of P2X₃‐immunoreactive fibers in hairy and glabrous skin of the rat

41 citations , April 2009 in “Journal of comparative neurology”

In this study, researchers observed that P2X3-immunoreactive fibers extensively innervate the epidermis of rats, suggesting a primary role in detecting noxious stimuli in cutaneous tissue.

research Adaptations in the structure and innervation of follicle‐sinus complexes to an aquatic environment as seen in the Florida manatee (Trichechus manatus latirostris)

46 citations , July 2007 in “Journal of comparative neurology”

This study found that Florida manatees have unique types of specialized nerve endings in their vibrissae, which assist in their sensory and manipulative functions in aquatic environments.

research Different Requirements for GFRα2-Signaling in Three Populations of Cutaneous Sensory Neurons

11 citations , August 2014 in “PLoS ONE”

This study found that GFRα2 influences cell size but not survival or target innervation of Ret-positive low-threshold mechanoreceptors in mouse dorsal root ganglia, differing from its role in nonpeptidergic nociceptors.

research A modular modeling approach for investigating wool critical buckling from biologically variable along-fiber microstructure

August 2020 in “Textile research journal”

This study introduces a modular fiber model to investigate how changes in microstructural properties of wool affect its critical buckling load, highlighting potential uses and areas needing further research in wool fiber biophysics.

in Chat 40 upvotes 2 years ago

A user with aggressive hair thinning is considering how to handle a coworker's interest in them. They are using Minoxidil, Finasteride, and Dutasteride, and are debating whether to keep using hair fibers, shave their head, or get a hair system.

community I just got started on my journey

in Journals / Progress Pictures 213 upvotes 4 months ago

A 24-year-old male is concerned about hair loss, possibly at Norwood stage 3 to 5, and has started using Minoxidil, shampoo, and hair fibers, while planning to get finasteride. He is worried about the shedding process affecting his progress.

community Thanks God, my hair is back from dead.

in Progress Pictures 612 upvotes 1 year ago

The user experienced significant hair regrowth using a topical solution of minoxidil 5% and finasteride 0.1% over 100 days, with plans to continue for a year before switching to a maintenance dose. Despite skepticism from others about using hair fibers, the user insists on the authenticity of their progress and reports no side effects from the treatment.
