research LRIG1 is a positive prognostic marker in Merkel cell carcinoma and Merkel cell carcinoma expresses epithelial stem cell markers
LRIG1 is linked to better survival in Merkel cell carcinoma.
research Nestin as a marker of unipotent epithelial progenitor cell differentiation into outer root sheath keratinocytes in embryonic and adult hair follicles
Nestin marks cells that can become a specific type of skin cell in hair follicles of both developing and adult mice.
research Defining the complex epithelia that comprise the canine claw with molecular markers of differentiation
Canine claws have complex structures with different keratin types, similar to hair and nails.
research Nestin as a marker of unipotent epithelial progenitor cells differentiate into outer root sheath keratinocytes in embryonic and adult hair follicles
Nestin-expressing cells turn into a specific type of skin cell in hair follicles during development and in adults.
research The relationship between keratin 18 and epithelial-derived tumors: as a diagnostic marker, prognostic marker, and its role in tumorigenesis

5 / 40 resultscommunity SAFFLOWER OIL good alternative for Minoxidil?
Safflower oil is suggested as an alternative to minoxidil for hair growth, with benefits including scalp conditioning and hair strength enhancement. Studies indicate it may also reverse scalp dermatitis, alopecia, and prevent premature grayness.
community Minoxidil Response Bottlenecks: Why Sulfation and Transport Matter (And Where Tretinoin Fits In)
Minoxidil's effectiveness is limited by the need for sulfation and proper transport to hair follicles, with tretinoin potentially enhancing its effects by promoting enzyme activity and keratinocyte differentiation. Tretinoin may improve minoxidil's response by boosting the expression of necessary enzymes and transporters.
community The MPB itch aka DHT itch is very real.
Hair loss itch is caused by DHT attacking follicles and stimulating nerves. Finasteride users who respond well don't experience this itch.
community Fresh off the press: Dutasteride may cause chronic infertility
Dutasteride may cause chronic infertility by reducing semen volume and motility, with concerns about irreversible prostate fibrosis. Users consider switching to finasteride or using treatments like minoxidil and microneedling, weighing hair preservation against fertility.
community Unpopular Opinion: hair cloning kind of sucks as a potential future cure.
Hair cloning is seen as a distant and potentially less relevant solution for hair loss due to its high cost, invasiveness, and the advancement of other treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride. Many believe that by the time hair cloning becomes viable, other less invasive and more effective treatments will be available.
