research Impaired Differentiation Potential of CD34-Positive Cells Derived from Mouse Hair Follicles After Long-Term Culture
Mouse hair follicle stem cells lose their ability to change into different cell types after being grown for a long time.
research Clonal Multipotency and Effect of Long-Term In Vitro Expansion on Differentiation Potential of Human Hair Follicle Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells
Human hair follicle stem cells can turn into multiple cell types but lose some of this ability after being grown in the lab for a long time.
research Neural, Adipocyte and Hepatic Differentiation Potential of Primary and Secondary Hair Folicle Stem Cells Isolated from Arbas Cashmere Goats
Hair follicle stem cells from Arbas Cashmere goats can become fat, nerve, and liver cells.
research Epidermal Stem Cell Diversity and Quiescence
Epidermal stem cells are diverse and vary in activity, playing key roles in skin maintenance and repair.
research Applications of Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Skin Regeneration and Rejuvenation
Mesenchymal stem cells show potential for skin healing and anti-aging, but more research is needed for safe use, especially regarding stem cells from induced pluripotent sources.

community Minoxidil Response Bottlenecks: Why Sulfation and Transport Matter (And Where Tretinoin Fits In)
Minoxidil's effectiveness is limited by the need for sulfation and proper transport to hair follicles, with tretinoin potentially enhancing its effects by promoting enzyme activity and keratinocyte differentiation. Tretinoin may improve minoxidil's response by boosting the expression of necessary enzymes and transporters.
community Verteporfin and Microneedling
Clinical studies by Dr. Barghouthi and Dr. Bloxham indicate that Verteporfin, when used with FUE and FUT hair transplantation methods, shows promise in hair follicle regeneration and minimal scarring due to its ability to inhibit Yes-associated protein (YAP). Microneedling at depths of 3-3.5mm, combined with Verteporfin, could potentially reactivate dormant follicles, although the optimal dosage and application method are still under investigation. Concerns remain about the DHT sensitivity of regenerated follicles, highlighting the need for further research to optimize trauma levels and Verteporfin concentrations to achieve effective and scar-free hair regeneration.
community Pirfenidone - The answer to fibrosis and baldness
Pirfenidone is suggested to treat fibrosis and baldness by blocking inflammation markers and reducing collagen. It is also available as a gel for scar removal.
community Being Safe on Oral Minoxidil: tl;dr on the literature.
Oral minoxidil is effective for hair loss but can cause cardiovascular side effects, such as pericardial effusion, especially in those with genetic predispositions. Starting with low doses and monitoring cardiovascular health are advised to reduce risks.
community DHT is about to get smashed ….
The conversation discusses hair loss treatments like topical finasteride with minoxidil, oral dutasteride, and essential oils. Oral treatments like dutasteride and finasteride are seen as more effective, though some prefer topicals to avoid side effects.
