    GlossaryDermal Papilla Cell Proliferation

    cells in hair follicle base multiply, promoting hair growth

    Dermal Papilla Cell Proliferation refers to the process by which cells in the dermal papilla, a specialized structure at the base of hair follicles, multiply and grow. This cell activity is crucial for hair growth and regeneration, as these cells send signals that regulate the hair cycle and influence the formation of new hair shafts.

      community Hair theory Scar tissue and Verteporfin

      in Chat  25 upvotes 4 months ago
      A user suggests that deeper microneedling with Verteporfin injections might help regrow hair in areas with scar tissue, alongside a DHT blocker. Another user explains that hair loss might be due to reduced Wnt/β-Catenin signaling and suggests that treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, and microneedling could potentially reverse it.

      community Fats on your Head to Stop Hair Loss?

      in Research/Science  143 upvotes 8 months ago
      The conversation discusses the potential of long-chain unsaturated fatty acids, like oleic and linoleic acid, as an additional treatment for hair loss, which may inhibit the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone to DHT and promote hair growth. Users humorously suggest using oils topically and discuss other hair loss treatments, but the main focus is on the science behind fatty acids and their role in hair health.
