research Human Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Derived Exosomes Enhance Follicular Regeneration in Androgenetic Alopecia via Activation of Wnt/β-Catenin Pathway
Exosomes from stem cells can help regrow hair better than minoxidil.

research The Transverse Anatomy of Androgenic Alopecia
The study found that horizontal sections of scalp biopsies are better for analyzing hair loss, showing fewer hairs and more fine hairs in balding areas.

research Horizontal and Vertical Sections of Scalp Biopsy Specimens from Dermatomyositis Patients with Scalp Involvement
Scalp biopsies from dermatomyositis patients show chronic hair loss without scarring, with mucin and blood vessel changes being very common.

research Alopecia Universalis Associated with Cutaneous T Cell Lymphoma
Some patients with a type of skin lymphoma can experience a rare, non-scarring hair loss that looks like another hair loss condition but has distinct features.

research The Histopathology of Noncicatricial Alopecia
Different types of hair loss have unique features under a microscope, but a doctor's exam is important for accurate diagnosis.

5 / 233 resultscommunity 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 Minoxidil Skin Delivery from Nanoemulsion Formulations Containing Eucalyptol or Oleic Acid: Enhanced Diffusivity and Follicular Targeting
Minoxidil can be effectively delivered through nanoemulsions containing eucalyptol or oleic acid, enhancing its diffusivity and targeting hair follicles. This contradicts the advice against mixing minoxidil with oils in topical formulations.
community New hack? Tretinoin enhances minoxidil response in androgenetic alopecia patients by upregulating follicular sulfotransferase enzymes
The conversation discusses how Tretinoin may improve the effectiveness of Minoxidil for treating hair loss by increasing the activity of certain enzymes in hair follicles. One user comments that this information is not new.
community The Korean began to suspect something. But they understood the mechanism to some extent. ( Cold shock therapy promotes hair growth in association with upregulation of cold-inducible RNA-binding protein and vascular endothelial growth factor)
Cold shock therapy may promote hair growth by stimulating follicular muscles and affecting stem cells. The exact mechanisms and full range of elements involved are not yet fully understood.
community Progress with 6 Years fin and a FUT (2017 vs 2023)
The post discusses a user's six-year progress with finasteride and a Follicular Unit Transplant (FUT) for hair loss. The user shared before and after photos in reverse order, leading to confusion, but overall, the community responded positively to the user's hair regrowth.
