research The mineralization of hair follicle tissue

7 citations , January 1973 in “Calcified Tissue International”

This study found that hair follicle tissue effectively induced mineral formation in calcium phosphate solutions, likely due to its nucleating ability, which was lost when the tissue was lyophilized and stored.

research A Case of Proliferating Trichilemmal Cyst with Trichoepitheliomatous Change

January 2002 in “Linchuang pifuke zazhi”

This report describes an unusual case of proliferating trichilemmal cyst with trichoepitheliomatous change in a young woman, differing from its typical presentation in elderly women.

research STUDIES ON A SKIN CALCIFYING SYSTEM

12 citations , December 1965 in “Immunology and Cell Biology”

This study found that experimentally induced calcification in rat skin led to rapid and localized mineralization in hair follicles, progressing to more extensive calcification with prior hypercalcemic treatment.

research Pilomatricoma in the neck of an adult male

January 2022 in “Autopsy and Case Reports”

This article describes a case of pilomatricoma in a 22-year-old male with successful surgical excision and no recurrence, highlighting its histopathological features and typical clinical presentation.

research A mechanism for topical cutaneous calcinosis

2 citations , December 1973 in “Calcified tissue research”

This study proposed a hypothesis for cutaneous calcinosis, suggesting that feeding DHT and subsequent epilation lead to ATP release and calcium orthophosphate formation, initiating calcification in rats.

community Microneedling technique clarification

in Microneedling 16 upvotes 2 years ago

The conversation is about using a Dr. Pen for microneedling on a widow's peak, with advice to use a depth of 1.25mm and hold it in place for 10 seconds. The user is also using minoxidil.

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.

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 A Theory on Why Microneedling Works

175 upvotes 6 years ago

Microneedling may enhance hair regrowth by transferring stem cells to dormant follicles, improving the effects of minoxidil. Users discuss using microneedling with needle lengths around 1.5mm to stimulate hair growth.

community Is DHT actually the cause of male pattern hair loss or just a correlating factor? Why I think the research is more complicated than we're told and why I've been looking into GHK-Cu

78 upvotes 4 months ago

DHT is not the only cause of male pattern hair loss; genetic sensitivity, inflammation, and fibrosis also contribute. GHK-Cu, a copper peptide, is being explored as an alternative treatment to finasteride and minoxidil, showing potential in improving follicle health.
