research Directed Expression of Keratin 16 to the Progenitor Basal Cells of Transgenic Mouse Skin Delays Skin Maturation

79 citations , August 1998 in “The Journal of Cell Biology”

In a transgenic mouse model, this study found that overexpression of keratin 16 in skin keratinocytes led to hyperkeratosis and increased EGF receptor signaling, altering skin cell behavior and structure.

research Redox-directed interventions targeting skin photodamage

August 2015 in “Free Radical Biology and Medicine”

research G2 stem cells orchestrate time-directed, long-range coordination of calcium signaling during skin epidermal regeneration

4 citations , October 2021 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)”

This study found that epidermal stem cells in live mice exhibit coordinated intercellular Ca 2+ signaling governed by G2 cycling stem cells and mediated by Connexin43, essential for tissue-wide communication during regeneration.

research Directed Expression of a Chimeric Type II Keratin Partially Rescues Keratin 5-null Mice

15 citations , May 2014 in “Journal of Biological Chemistry”

In this study, targeting the expression of a keratin KRT5/KRT8 chimeric cDNA in keratin-deficient mice partially restored structural defects in epidermal cells, but did not fully normalize skin health.

research The brain–gut–skin axis in inflammatory and disfiguring skin diseases: mechanistic insights, clinical correlations, and therapeutic strategies

February 2026 in “Frontiers in Immunology”

This review highlights the role of the brain–gut–skin axis in systemic inflammatory skin conditions, revealing potential interventions like microbiome-directed treatments and integrative therapies, though emphasizes the need for more robust clinical validation.

community Calling out diffuse thinners here -- Have you ruled out other factors?

in Treatment 54 upvotes 1 year ago

Diffuse hair loss is often linked to genetics but can also be due to health issues like thyroid problems and low vitamin or iron levels. Treatments include finasteride, minoxidil, and dutasteride, with some seeing improvements after addressing health issues.

community Black seed oil rosemary oil and microneedling success

4 upvotes 3 years ago

The user experienced success in reducing hair thinning using a combination of rosemary oil, black seed oil, and microneedling, avoiding finasteride and minoxidil due to side effects. They later stopped using black seed oil due to concerns about increased testosterone.

community End of Hair loss ( AGA ) ? Since they produce it in china probably we don’t need to wait other 10 yrs😁

276 upvotes 6 months ago

GT20029 is a new hair loss treatment in Phase 3 trials in China, using PROTAC technology to target androgen receptors, potentially with fewer side effects than finasteride and minoxidil. VDPHL01, a second-generation minoxidil, is also mentioned as potentially more effective.
