research Dermal papilla cell number specifies hair size, shape and cycling and its reduction causes follicular decline
In this study, researchers found that the number of dermal papilla cells in hair follicles determines hair size and shape in mice, suggesting potential avenues for addressing hair loss.
research Follicular penetration of nano-sized particulate FA-PLGA and the dye RhBITC in dorsal dog and rat skin, and porcine ear skin as an in vitro model for the human integument
In this study, penetration of FA-PLGA nanoparticles into hair follicles was observed in excised dog, rat, and porcine skin, with the deepest penetration in porcine skin, suggesting its similarity to human skin for drug delivery studies.
research The impact of particle size of nanostructured lipid carriers on follicular drug delivery: A comprehensive analysis of mouse and human hair follicle penetration
In this study, curcumin-loaded nanoparticles with a size of 400 nm showed optimal accumulation in human hair follicles after seven days, although mouse models differed significantly in penetration and retention, indicating limitations in their suitability for follicular drug delivery studies.
research Selective follicular targeting by modification of the particle sizes
This study found that medium-sized particles (643 and 646 nm) penetrated deeper into porcine hair follicles in vitro than smaller or larger particles, suggesting size-selective targeting within follicular sites.

5 / 266 resultscommunity How is it possible for someone to be a non responder to ORAL minoxidil?
Some individuals do not respond to oral minoxidil for hair loss, despite it generally working by improving blood flow to hair follicles. Factors like metabolism, drug interactions, and individual variations in the drug's activation may influence its effectiveness.
community Possible topical option for preventing BDNF-related hair loss
The conversation discusses hair loss linked to BDNF-increasing nootropics like Semax and Lions Mane. Suggested topical treatments include capsaicin, beta-glucan, and ginseng to counteract TGF-B activation.
community Found a slide summary for PP405
PP405 shows promise in stimulating new terminal hair growth by activating dormant follicles, with no systemic adverse effects observed in a short-term trial. However, long-term efficacy remains unproven, and further trials are needed to confirm its potential as a hair loss treatment.
community Highly recommend buying a microscope (see pictures)
A user recommends using a microscope to assess hair density and track hair loss progress, finding it useful for evaluating treatment effectiveness, particularly with dutasteride and minoxidil. They advise against obsessing over hair loss and emphasize focusing on other meaningful life aspects.
community People who don’t microneedle, why?
Microneedling is often combined with minoxidil for hair growth, but concerns about scalp damage, pain, and effectiveness deter some users. Alternatives like finasteride, dutasteride, tretinoin, and laser treatments are preferred by others.
