research Growth Inhibition and Transient Temperature Measurement of Laser-Irradiated Hair Fibers and Follicles
Laser treatment can inhibit hair growth and different hair colors reach different temperatures when lasered.

research Melan-A Positive Cells Significantly Expressed in Immune-Targeted Follicles of Alopecia Areata
Melanocytes may trigger the immune response in alopecia areata, affecting hair regrowth.

research Techniques for the Discovery and Evaluation of Drugs Against Alopecia
We need better treatments for hair loss, and while test-tube methods are helpful, they can't fully replace animal tests for evaluating new hair growth treatments.

research Drug Discovery for Alopecia: Gone Today, Hair Tomorrow
Topical drugs and near-infrared light therapy show potential for treating alopecia.

research The Effect of Topical Minoxidil on Hair Follicular Cycles of Rats

5 / 43 resultscommunity Tretinoin for some men(not all) can cause non-telogen effluvium hair loss
Tretinoin can cause non-telogen hair loss in some men by inducing catagen-like changes in hair follicles and through retinoid toxicity, especially when used with minoxidil. Some users report hair loss even when using retinoids on the face, while others experience benefits when combined with treatments like finasteride and minoxidil.
community HLT Megathread on HMI-115 (key takeaways in comments)
HMI-115, a newly discovered hair loss treatment that could potentially be effective for those with diffuse thinning and telogen effluvium. It is based on prolactin receptor antagonist signaling and has already undergone Phase I trials in women, with potential commercialization by 2027.
community New and Interesting HairLoss Studies/Papers/Reviews
Hair loss treatments discussed include Dutasteride with Ketoconazole, tissue engineering strategies, and androgenetic alopecia therapies. Massage doubles follicular retention, improving treatment effectiveness.
community Possible topical option for preventing BDNF-related hair loss
The conversation discusses hair loss linked to BDNF-increasing nootropics like Semax and Lions Mane. Suggested topical treatments include capsaicin, beta-glucan, and ginseng to counteract TGF-B activation.
community Weed/THC effects on hair growth/hair loss, and vitality of organ-culture human follicle studies (research review)
Cannabis and THC may have mixed effects on hair, with some studies suggesting potential negative impacts on hair growth in isolated hair follicles, but these results are hard to apply to living humans. Treatments like minoxidil and finasteride are commonly used for hair loss, and the effects of cannabis might be neutral or vary based on individual factors.
