Did you mean Dermal Condensate?

Glossary Dermal Condensate

cluster of specialized skin cells initiating hair follicle formation

Dermal condensate refers to a cluster of specialized cells in the skin's dermis layer that play a crucial role in the formation of hair follicles. These cells signal to the overlying epidermal cells to start the process of hair follicle development, making them essential for hair growth and regeneration.

research 872 Dermal Wnt/β-catenin signaling controls hair follicle dermal condensate size during development

April 2017 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

This study suggests that dermal Wnt/β-catenin activation timing is crucial for hair follicle initiation, with potential non-cell autonomous regulation of dermal condensate size.

research Wnt1a maintains characteristics of dermal papilla cells that induce mouse hair regeneration in a 3D preculture system

community Minoxidil is a 5ar inhibitor according to research

150 upvotes 11 months ago

Minoxidil may inhibit androgen receptors and affect hormonal pathways, potentially explaining its effectiveness in treating androgenetic alopecia (AGA). Users discuss its varying effectiveness on scalp versus facial hair and note fewer side effects with topical use compared to oral.

community The Cure isn't 5 years away; it's already here.

in Research/Science 1005 upvotes 1 year ago

PP405 is a new topical treatment for hair loss, showing promise in trials but still requires finasteride for maintenance. There is skepticism about its effectiveness and safety, with concerns about needing finasteride to maintain results.

community Amplifica: Hope or Cope? A Review of Their Pipeline

9 upvotes 1 month ago

Amplifica's AMP-303 showed a modest increase in hair growth, but results were inconsistent and potentially misleading. Hyaluronic acid and osteopontin are being explored for hair growth, with varying effects on different hair types and conditions.

community Prolactin the Cause of Hair Loss? ABS-201 the Cure?

29 upvotes 2 months ago

Prolactin may contribute to hair loss, but targeting its receptor won't cure androgenetic alopecia. ABS-201 could be a useful alternative or adjuvant therapy, similar to JAK inhibitors, but not more effective than HMI-115.

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.
