research Post-Transcriptional Regulation of Keratinocyte Progenitor Cell Expansion, Differentiation, and Hair Follicle Regression by miR-22
miR-22, a type of microRNA, controls hair growth and its overproduction can cause hair loss, while its absence can speed up hair growth.
research Characterization of Cell Cycle Arrest and Terminal Differentiation in a Maximally Proliferative Human Epithelial Tissue: Lessons from the Human Hair Follicle Matrix
CIP/KIP proteins help stop cell division and support hair growth.
research Planar Cell Polarity Effector Gene Intu Regulates Cell Fate-Specific Differentiation of Keratinocytes Through the Primary Cilia
Intu gene is crucial for hair follicle formation by helping keratinocytes differentiate through primary cilia.
research Local Microenvironment Provides Important Cues for Cell Differentiation in Lingual Epithelia
The local environment is crucial for cell development in the tongue.
research RSPO1-Mutated Keratinocytes From Palmoplantar Keratoderma Display Impaired Differentiation and Invasiveness: Implications for Squamous Cell Carcinoma Susceptibility in Patients With 46XX Disorder of Sexual Development
RSPO1 mutations in certain patients lead to skin cells that don't develop properly and are more likely to become invasive, increasing the risk of skin cancer.

NMN shows promise in promoting hair growth by reducing oxidative stress and weakening androgens. It may be a beneficial addition to hair loss treatments like Minoxidil and Finasteride.
community TGF-Beta. Good or Bad? Help for treatment investment
TGF-B affects hair growth, both causing stem cell division and death depending on amounts. Amplifica's treatment injects Scube3 to increase TGF-B for hair growth.
community 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 Opinions on Scalp fibrosis and DHT?
The conversation discusses the theory that scalp fibrosis contributes to male pattern baldness (MPB) by increasing DHT concentration, and mentions treatments like Minoxidil. The user seeks opinions on the theory and the effectiveness of scalp massages.
community My Theory Regarding a Cause and Cure for Androgenetic Alopecia
Hair loss theory suggests imbalance between Vitamin D Receptor (VDR) and Androgen Receptor (AR) activation. Proposed treatment includes upregulating VDR, downregulating AR, and improving mitochondrial health.
