research Mice with a null mutation of the TGFα gene have abnormal skin architecture, wavy hair, and curly whiskers and often develop corneal inflammation

578 citations , April 1993 in “Cell”

This study found that mice with a disrupted TGFα gene display a curly whisker-coat phenotype, similar to waved-1 mice, suggesting TGFα's crucial role in skin architecture and hair development.

research Corneal Limbal Microenvironment Can Induce Transdifferentiation of Hair Follicle Stem Cells into Corneal Epithelial-like Cells

162 citations , December 2008 in “Stem Cells”

This study found that murine vibrissa hair follicle stem cells can be differentiated into corneal epithelial-like cells in vitro using limbus-specific microenvironmental factors, suggesting a potential therapeutic source for ocular surface disorders.

research From Hair to Cornea: Toward the Therapeutic Use of Hair Follicle-Derived Stem Cells in the Treatment of Limbal Stem Cell Deficiency

135 citations , October 2010 in “Stem Cells”

This study found that stem cells from mouse hair follicles successfully reconstructed the ocular surface in most limbal stem cell deficiency mice, demonstrating potential for treating the condition in a mouse model.

research Transdifferentiation of corneal epithelium into epidermis occurs by means of a multistep process triggered by dermal developmental signals

130 citations , February 2005 in “Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences”

This study found that differentiated cells of the corneal epithelium can be converted to hair and interfollicular epidermis through a multistep process involving dermal developmental signals.

Corneal Endothelial Cell Fate Is Maintained by LGR5 Through the Regulation of Hedgehog and Wnt Pathways

research Corneal Endothelial Cell Fate Is Maintained by LGR5 Through the Regulation of Hedgehog and Wnt Pathway

73 citations , April 2013 in “Stem cells”

This study found that LGR5 is uniquely expressed in human corneal endothelial cells and maintains endothelial cell phenotypes while inhibiting mesenchymal transformation through the Wnt pathway.

community Five months of Dut brings in the corners😌

in Update 63 upvotes 1 year ago

The user switched from finasteride to dutasteride due to side effects and hair thinning, and experienced thicker hair with no side effects after five months. The conversation includes positive feedback and questions about the transition process.

community Any interesting future treatments around the corner

7 upvotes 6 years ago

Potential future hair loss treatments include stem cell therapy, Clascosterone (Breezula), Amplifica's signaling molecules, Botox, and dutasteride mesotherapy. Some treatments are promising but expensive, like Tsuji's technique, while others, like Botox, show unexpected results.

community Will it look smooth if I start using hair fiber on the thining corners, on top of minoxidil?

15 upvotes 6 days ago

The conversation discusses using hair fibers on thinning corners and considers treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, and dutasteride for hair loss. Users suggest finasteride and dutasteride for regrowth, with some recommending hair concealers over fibers for a smoother look.

community 1.5 months 5% min foam twice a day on corners and 1mg fin. First pic is before I started.

in Progress Pictures 20 upvotes 1 month ago

OP used 5% minoxidil foam twice daily and 1mg finasteride for 1.5 months. There appears to be improvement, though lighting and hand placement differ in the photos.

community 19. are my corners coming back?

2 upvotes 4 months ago

The user has been using finasteride for 6 months and minoxidil for 12 months to address hair loss and recently started estradiol monotherapy for additional benefits. They are unsure if their hair is regrowing and are seeking advice on their progress.
