      Reflectance Confocal Microscopy of Adult Periorificial Dermatitis: A Case Report

      research Reflectance Confocal Microscopy of Adult Periorificial Dermatitis: A Case Report

      July 2023 in “Clinical, cosmetic and investigational dermatology”
      In this study, reflectance confocal microscopy was used to diagnose periorificial dermatitis, revealing specific skin changes such as hair follicle dilatation, increased vascular density, and inflammation, which help distinguish it from similar conditions.
      A Human Prenatal Skin Cell Atlas Reveals Immune Cell Regulation of Skin Morphogenesis

      research A human prenatal skin cell atlas reveals immune cell regulation of skin morphogenesis

      October 2023 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)”
      This study constructed a comprehensive atlas of prenatal human skin, revealing that innate immune cells, such as macrophages, play a crucial role in skin morphogenesis by interacting with non-immune cells, influencing hair follicle formation and angiogenesis beyond their traditional immune functions.
      Environment of the Anagen Follicle

      research Environment of the Anagen Follicle

      4 citations , January 2018 in “Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology”
      This article discusses the structures surrounding hair follicles and introduces aspects like follicle groups and the dermal sheath, but it reports no new research findings.
      Diversity of Adult Stem Cell Niches in the Dermal Compartment of Skin

      research Diversity of Adult Stem Cell Niches in the Dermal Compartment of Skin

      1 citations , January 2018 in “Elsevier eBooks”
      This review examines the diversity and role of stem cells in the adult dermis, noting a lack of precise understanding about their hierarchy and relationship to dermal fibroblast subpopulations, and reports no new results.

      community Debunking Androgenetic Theory (Hair Transplants)

      in Research/Science  25 upvotes 2 years ago
      The post discusses a theory that hair regrowth after transplant is due to the angiogenesis process (new blood vessels forming), not because the transplanted hair is unaffected by DHT. The responses highlight the established belief in 'donor dominance' (the importance of the hair's origin in transplantation) and skepticism about the new theory.

      community blood flow and scalp tension - put up or shut up

      in Chat  31 upvotes 11 months ago
      The conversation discusses skepticism about the effectiveness of scalp tension theory and scalp massagers for hair regrowth, contrasting it with treatments like finasteride and minoxidil, which have more user-reported results. Participants question the belief in scalp tension theory, suggesting it may be a marketing tactic, while others argue for a multifactorial approach to hair loss.

      community Dht kills hair, but no one says why?

      in Finasteride/Dutasteride  40 upvotes 1 year ago
      DHT affects hair follicles, contributing to hair loss, but the exact mechanism is unclear. Treatments like finasteride and minoxidil are used to manage hair loss, though they may have side effects and varying effectiveness.
