Did you mean Hair Follicle Orientation?

Glossary Hair Follicle Orientation

direction in which hair follicles grow out of skin

Hair Follicle Orientation refers to the direction in which hair follicles are angled and grow out of the skin. This orientation can affect the appearance and texture of hair, influencing how it lies on the scalp or body. For professionals, understanding hair follicle orientation is crucial for procedures like hair transplants, as aligning the transplanted follicles with the natural growth pattern ensures a more natural look.

research Author response: NuMA-microtubule interactions are critical for spindle orientation and the morphogenesis of diverse epidermal structures

3 citations , January 2016

In this study, NuMA's microtubule-binding domain was found to be crucial for correct spindle orientation and skin differentiation, with its loss leading to neonatal lethality in mice.

research KIF18B is a cell-type specific regulator of spindle orientation in the epidermis

June 2021 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)”

This research found that the microtubule catastrophe factor KIF18B plays a crucial role in promoting spindle orientation in keratinocytes, linking this process to cell fate decisions during hair follicle morphogenesis.

community Fats on your Head to Stop Hair Loss?

140 upvotes 2 years ago

The conversation discusses the potential of long-chain unsaturated fatty acids, like oleic and linoleic acid, as an additional treatment for hair loss, which may inhibit the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone to DHT and promote hair growth. Users humorously suggest using oils topically and discuss other hair loss treatments, but the main focus is on the science behind fatty acids and their role in hair health.

community Desensitize Follicle Sensitivity to DHT?

12 upvotes 2 weeks ago

Hair follicles cannot be desensitized to DHT like allergies; treatments focus on reducing DHT levels or blocking its effects using methods like finasteride, GT20029, or PROTACs. Topical treatments like ceterizine and BPA application are also mentioned.

community Another mechanism to hair loss that isn’t talked about. Heavy metals and follicle waste.

16 upvotes 2 months ago

Hair follicles can store waste, potentially leading to hair loss, and treatments like DHT blockers and Minoxidil are suggested. Scalp inflammation and sensitivity to DHT also contribute to hair loss, and addressing these factors with a clinician is recommended.

community Anyone here have a lot of knowledge on hair follicle stem cells and progenitor cells for PP405?

in Chat 4 upvotes 8 months ago

Hair follicle stem cells remain in bald individuals, but progenitor cells do not, raising questions about hair regrowth claims by Pelage. PP405 is discussed as a potential treatment, with skepticism about its effectiveness compared to existing treatments like Minoxidil and Finasteride.
