research Fibrosing Alopecia in a Pattern Distribution
Some people with pattern hair loss may also have scalp inflammation and scarring similar to lichen planopilaris.
research Vertical and Transverse Sections of Alopecia Biopsy Specimens: Combining the Two to Maximize Diagnostic Yield
Using both vertical and transverse sections for alopecia biopsies improves diagnosis without extra cost.
research Sebaceous Gland Loss and Inflammation in Scarring Alopecia: A Potential Role in Pathogenesis
Loss of sebaceous glands and inflammation may contribute to the development of scarring alopecia.
research Fibrosing Alopecia in a Pattern Distribution
Fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution is a unique hair loss condition that may respond to antiandrogen therapy.
research Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia
CCCA is a common, progressive hair loss condition that may not always be linked to hair care practices and requires a biopsy for diagnosis.

community Diffuse hair loss and scalp biopsies
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!
Hair loss theory involves 3alpha-hydroxysteroid reductase (3AHD) converting DHT to androstenol. Discussion explores potential treatments and encourages more research.
community Verteporfin trials in hair transplant patients begin
A clinical trial for Verteporfin as a hair loss treatment, and the potential for greater progress in treatments for hair loss in the future. Common treatments such as Minoxidil, Finasteride and RU58841 were discussed.
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 Verteporfin day 84 update - donor hair regeneration human trials
A human trial involving verteporfin for hair regeneration, with the results showing some regrowth of 1-2 hairs in an area where a follicular unit was extracted. The conversation also suggested that future studies should involve higher doses and more frequent injections.
