Intermediate filaments are crucial for cell differentiation and stem cell function.
research Developmental Mechanisms Controlling Cell Fate Evolution
The conclusion is that grasping how cells determine their roles through evolution is key, with expected progress from new research models and genome editing.
research Telescope Model for Coordinated Organ Morphogenesis and Stem Cell Formation
Developing hair follicles form from ring-shaped patterns, with future stem cells originating from the outer ring, not the upper layers, as previously thought.
research Dermal Wnt/β-Catenin Activation Tunably Controls Hair Follicle Initiation
Activating Wnt in skin cells controls the number of hair follicles by directing cell movement and fate.
research Connecting Signaling Dynamics With Cell Fates In Live Mice

community The Worst Hair Loss Condition You (MAY) have: LPP
Lichen Planopilaris (LPP) is an autoimmune condition causing permanent hair loss and fibrosis, often misdiagnosed. Treatments include pioglitazone, topical corticosteroids, anti-inflammatory medication, and Jak inhibitors.
community Front page article at The New York Times (biggest circulation in the world) regarding notable results with oral minoxidil is a pretty big deal
This conversation discusses the potential benefits of using oral minoxidil and finasteride to treat hair loss, with some users sharing their own experiences in taking the medications. Others express concerns about the safety of these treatments.
community Diffuse hair loss and scalp biopsies
Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
community IT ABSOLUTELY FUCKING SUCKS to be going through this in silence while my roommates/best friends don't have to worry about this.
The conversation is about a person struggling with hair loss and feeling frustrated comparing themselves to friends with thick hair. They started taking 1 mg Finasteride a month ago to address the hair loss.
