research Dermal β-Catenin Activity in Response to Epidermal Wnt Ligands Is Required for Fibroblast Proliferation and Hair Follicle Initiation
Skin needs dermal β-catenin activity for hair growth and skin cell multiplication.
research Suppression of Fibroblast Proliferation and Lysyl Hydroxylase Activity by Minoxidil
Minoxidil slows fibroblast growth and collagen production, potentially treating keloids, hypertrophic scars, and connective tissue disorders.
research Dermal EZH2 Orchestrates Dermal Differentiation and Epidermal Proliferation During Murine Skin Development
Dermal EZH2 controls skin cell development and hair growth in mice.
research In Vivo Quantification of the Effects of Radiation and Presence of Hair Follicle Pores on the Proliferation of Fibroblasts in an Acellular Human Dermis in a Dorsal Skinfold Chamber: Relevance for Tissue Reconstruction Following Neoadjuvant Therapy
Hair follicle pores help cell survival and growth, even after radiation.
research Editor's Evaluation: Role of Distinct Fibroblast Lineages and Immune Cells in Dermal Repair Following UV Radiation-Induced Tissue Damage
Different types of sun exposure damage skin cells and immune cells, with chronic exposure leading to more severe and lasting damage.

Oral minoxidil may cause dry skin and dark eye bags but doesn't significantly age the skin. Topical minoxidil is toxic to cats, and some users prefer finasteride.
community Compressed part of research of theory of androgenic/anabolitic balance. AGA h-responders analytic. Theory of physio-metabolitic method of anti AGA treatment
The treatment for androgenetic alopecia involves using finasteride and minoxidil with intense exercise and cold exposure to boost metabolism and reduce androgenic effects, potentially leading to hair regrowth. This approach may activate biological pathways for improved hair and overall health.
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 Age-linked hair loss caused by disappearing collagen, researchers say
Age-linked hair loss is linked to disappearing collagen. Treatments discussed include minoxidil, finasteride, RU58841, tretinoin, microneedling, and collagen supplements.
community Copper Literally Saved My Life (and My Baldness)
Oral copper supplementation significantly improved hair regrowth for someone who experienced severe hair loss after stopping minoxidil, suggesting copper deficiency might hinder minoxidil's effectiveness. The user now only takes copper and occasionally uses microneedling, recommending others to try copper if minoxidil alone isn't effective.
