This study used electron microscopy to identify a distinct dendritic cell in the human epidermis, similar to the melanocyte, with unique structural features and variable melanin content.
research An Electron Microscopy Study of Keratin Degradation by the Fungus Microsporum gypseum in vitro
This study found that the fungus Microsporum gypseum enzymatically degrades keratin in human hair, with the sequence of degradation reflecting the keratinization and cystine content of individual hair components in vitro.
research Development of a Classification System for Extrinsic Hair Damage: Standard Grading of Electron Microscopic Findings of Damaged Hairs
This study developed an objective standard grading system for evaluating hair damage using scanning and transmission electron microscopy.
research Hair Casts: A Clinical and Electron Microscopic Study
This study observed that hair casts, seen in girls with tightly drawn hairstyles, may result from local circulatory disturbances and scalp inflammation.

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 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.
