GlossaryHair Follicle Epithelial Stem Cells (eHFSCs)

specialized cells that regenerate and produce new hair

Hair Follicle Epithelial Stem Cells are specialized cells located in the hair follicle that have the ability to regenerate and produce new hair. These cells play a crucial role in the growth cycle of hair, as they can differentiate into various cell types needed for hair formation and repair, making them essential for maintaining healthy hair and potentially treating conditions like alopecia.

community If You Have DUPA, PLEASE READ THIS: Everyone Should Be Scalp Biopsied

in Research 830 upvotes 1 year ago

Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
