research Isolated Patchy Heterochromia With Pili Annulati Features on Light and Electron Microscopy
Isolated patchy heterochromia with pili annulati can occur without other health issues.
research Electron microscopy in dermatology--basic and clinical research : proceedings of the Joint Meeting for the Japanese Society for Ultrastructural Cutaneous Biology and the Society for Cutaneous Ultrastructure Research, Nara, Japan, 24-27 October 1993
The document presented proceedings from a joint meeting focused on the application of electron microscopy in dermatology, covering both basic and clinical research. It included studies on various dermatological topics such as the visualization of bFGF molecules on skin cells, the microvascular architecture of hair follicles, and the structural components of the dermo-epidermal junction. Research also explored the regulation of hemidesmosomes, the role of E-cadherin in keratinocytes, and the ultrastructural changes in skin conditions and tumors. Additionally, the document discussed the involvement of Langerhans' cells in HIV infection and the differentiation of dendritic cells in lupus erythematosus, highlighting the diverse applications of electron microscopy in understanding skin biology and pathology.

research An Electron Microscopy Study of Keratin Degradation by the Fungus Microsporum Gypseum In Vitro
Microsporum gypseum fungus breaks down keratin in hair by digesting it enzymatically, starting with less keratinized parts.

5 / 23 resultscommunity Long term finasteride users; Did you notice any improvement after 2 years?
Long term Finasteride users and whether or not they have noticed improvements after two years of use, with other treatments such as Minoxidil and dermarolling also discussed. Some replies suggest that improvement is possible even beyond the two year mark while others caution against believing studies backed by the Post-Finasteride Foundation.
community PSA: Most men who stay on Fin will see the sexual side effects go away. Stop the fear mongering
Finasteride can cause sexual side effects in less than 2% of men, but these often disappear over time, even if the treatment continues. Some users report persistent side effects, while others experience no issues or only temporary ones.
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 Do hair follicles ever really "die"? Or does all your front, mid, and crown hair just become vellus?
Hair follicles don't truly die but become severely miniaturized. Treatments like finasteride, dutasteride, and minoxidil can help restore hair by providing nutrients and reducing harmful effects on hair roots.
community Summary of Procapil video by Haircafe
Procapil is marketed as a natural hair loss treatment but lacks strong evidence and is industry-biased. Minoxidil and Finasteride are the only FDA-approved treatments for androgenetic alopecia.
