GlossaryEpithelial Stem Cells

cells that regenerate and repair skin and hair follicles

Epithelial Stem Cells are a type of stem cell found in the epithelial tissues, which line the surfaces and cavities of organs and structures throughout the body, including the skin and hair follicles. These cells have the unique ability to self-renew and differentiate into various specialized cell types, playing a crucial role in tissue repair, regeneration, and maintaining the integrity of the epithelial layers.

community Diffuse hair loss and scalp biopsies

in Research 692 upvotes 1 month 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.

community UPDATE: The theory that explains everything. Please help me make this big!

in Research/Science 445 upvotes 3 years ago

Hair loss theory involves 3alpha-hydroxysteroid reductase (3AHD) converting DHT to androstenol. Discussion explores potential treatments and encourages more research.
