    specialized cells in skin that support hair growth and regeneration

    Hair Follicle Dermal Stem Cells are specialized cells located in the dermal layer of the skin, specifically within the hair follicle. These cells play a crucial role in hair growth and regeneration by providing the necessary signals and support for the development of new hair shafts. They are essential for maintaining the hair growth cycle and can potentially be targeted in treatments for hair loss conditions like alopecia.

      in Research/Science  13 upvotes 9 months ago
      A gel of keratin microspheres promotes hair follicle growth, showing similar effectiveness to minoxidil in mice. The treatment activates hair growth pathways and reduces inflammation, with potential applications in drug delivery for hair-related disorders.

      community Surprisingly thorough study on He-Shou-Wu/Fo Ti

      in Research/Science  14 upvotes 1 year ago
      He Shou Wu (Fo Ti) extract was found to prolong the hair growth phase, inhibit 5-alpha-reductase (like finasteride), reduce androgen receptors, and increase growth factors, potentially outperforming minoxidil in recovering hair follicle size after DHT exposure. Two compounds, emodin and TSG, are identified as responsible for these effects and warrant further investigation.
