research A Family Business: Stem Cell Progeny Join the Niche to Regulate Homeostasis
Stem cell offspring help control their parent stem cells, affecting tissue health, healing, and cancer.
research Watching Hair Grow: Intravital Two-Photon Imaging of Hair Follicle Regeneration in Transgenic Mice
Hair grows when stem cell offspring in the follicle base proliferate, influenced by the dermal papilla.
research Role of the ABCA4 Gene Expression in the Clearance of Toxic Vitamin A Derivatives in Human Hair Follicle Stem Cells and Keratinocytes
The ABCA4 gene protects hair follicle stem cells from toxic vitamin A byproducts.
research Maternal Melatonin Contributes to Offspring Hair Follicle Development Through Transcriptional Regulation of the AP-1 Complex and MAPK Pathway
Maternal melatonin improves offspring hair growth by affecting specific proteins and pathways.
research Stem Cells and Their Niches
Understanding stem cell interactions with their environments is key for advancing regenerative medicine.

5 / 585 resultscommunity A Theory on Why Microneedling Works
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 Haunting study is making me considering cycling fin/dut
Concerns about the long-term effects of dutasteride and finasteride on fertility, with discussions on cycling these medications to mitigate risks. The conversation highlights skepticism about study methodologies and the importance of weighing treatment risks against potential fertility issues.
community My Theory Of Androgenic Alopecia
Hair loss is linked to cellular physiology and the IGF-1 to TGF-B1 ratio, not just androgen sensitivity. The theory lacks evidence, while finasteride and minoxidil are effective treatments.
community Why do we have head hair in first place if we evolved to start losing it in some cases as soon as puberty hits
Hair loss is influenced by genetics and sensitivity to hormones like DHT. Treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride are commonly used, and baldness persists as it doesn't affect reproductive success.
community Why do we get bald from evolutionary perspective
Baldness is not an evolutionary disadvantage because it occurs after reproductive age. Treatments like Minoxidil and Finasteride are used for androgenetic alopecia but don't address the root cause.
