research The Human Hair Follicle, A Bistable Organ?
Human hair follicles switch between active and resting phases unpredictably.
research Molecular Network of Smads and Id2 Genes in Hair Follicle Stem Cells Regulation
The BMP/Smads pathway and Id2 gene control hair follicle stem cells, affecting their rest and growth phases.
research Dormancy in the Stem Cell Niche
Some stem cells in the body rarely divide, which could help create better treatments for diseases and aging.
research Characterization of Human Dermal Papilla Cells in Alginate Spheres
Alginate spheres help maintain hair growth potential in human cells for hair loss treatment.
research Stem Cells on Alert: Priming Quiescent Stem Cells After Remote Injury
Stem cells can be primed to respond faster to injury through mTORC1 signaling, enhancing muscle regeneration.

5 / 193 resultscommunity Confused why people are calling PP405 a cure...it never claimed to be able to undo miniaturization or revert vellus back to terminal hairs. It seems to be more of a growth stimulant like minoxidil.
PP405 is not a cure for hair loss but may reactivate dormant hair follicles, similar to minoxidil. It is unlikely to help with miniaturized or vellus hairs and is still in trial phases, with availability expected around 2030.
community Hair theory Scar tissue and Verteporfin
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 Comeback form NW7?
A user shared their aggressive hair loss treatment regimen, which includes daily use of Avodart (dutasteride) and Minoxidil, bi-weekly use of Davines Purifying shampoo, and almost daily use of Ducray Anaphase+ shampoo, along with supplements like vitamin D3, collagen, biotin, and zinc. They also use a dermastamp every 10 days and are considering a hair transplant for increased density, followed by a switch to finasteride and Minoxidil foam.
community Wouldn’t it be funny if there already was a drug that existed which reactivated sleeping follicles? It would be our own version of Ozempic
PP405 shows promise for reactivating hair follicles, with potential maintenance using 5AR inhibitors. Current treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride are effective but have limitations, and there is hope for more effective solutions in the future.
community Finasteride can revive up to 7 year old dead hair
Finasteride and minoxidil can revive hair dormant for up to 7 years, with microneedling enhancing regrowth. Users report significant hair regrowth even after long periods of baldness.
