research The cell membrane complex: Three related but different cellular cohesion components of mammalian hair fibers

15 citations , May 2010 in “International Journal of Cosmetic Science”

This review discusses new developments in understanding the structure and properties of keratin fiber cell membrane complexes, without reporting new experimental results.

research Mapping penetration of cosmetic compounds into hair fibers using time‐of‐flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF‐SIMS)

3 citations , September 2005 in “International Journal of Cosmetic Science”

This study found that monounsaturated oils like olive oil penetrate hair fibers effectively, whereas polyunsaturated oils typically do not penetrate beyond the cuticle.

research Characterization of the epidermal-dermal junction in hiPSC-derived skin organoids

14 citations , May 2022 in “Stem cell reports”

This study reported that human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived skin organoids, used to model epidermolysis bullosa, have an epidermal-dermal junction largely lacking type VII collagen, which is important for skin structure.

research Elucidating penetration pathways into the hair fiber using novel microscopic techniques.

10 citations , December 2001 in “PubMed”

This research suggests that both proposed pathways into hair fibers for molecule penetration are valid and complementary, with all fiber structures acting as potential routes for delivering materials.

research The Cytology and Cytochemistry of the Wool Follicle

90 citations , January 1979 in “International review of cytology”

This chapter reviews the complexity of hair and wool follicle formation, emphasizing the importance of cytological studies to understand the relationship between cellular components.

community The end of balding: We may have just found the secret to hair regrowth

in Technology 680 upvotes 1 year ago

MCL-1 is important for hair follicle stem cell survival, but its impact on human hair regrowth is unclear. Minoxidil and finasteride are the main treatments, with doubts about new discoveries leading to effective human solutions soon.

community I think we should all keep an eye out for Pelage PP405. February 2025 will be interesting.

118 upvotes 1 year ago

Pelage PP405 is a new hair loss treatment in trials, potentially reactivating dormant hair follicles without affecting hormones. Results are expected in February 2025, offering an alternative to minoxidil and finasteride.

community Dutasteride takes 1-3 months to work in the scalp. Not weeks. Be careful.

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 41 upvotes 2 years ago

Dutasteride takes 1-3 months to affect scalp DHT levels, not just a week. The prostate absorbs Dutasteride faster than the scalp due to different vascular networks and enzyme densities.

community Creatine is the opposite of minoxidil !

324 upvotes 10 months ago

Creatine may counteract minoxidil's hair growth effects by closing potassium ATP channels, potentially leading to hair loss in predisposed individuals. Despite anecdotal reports, there is no conclusive evidence linking creatine to hair loss.

community Finasteride success for androgenic alopecia by a 27M physician (NO PICTURES)

4 upvotes 10 years ago

A 27-year-old male physician improved hair density using minoxidil 5% foam and finasteride 1mg every other day, with initial sexual side effects that subsided. He recommends trying finasteride for a year but warns against dutasteride due to potential liver effects.
