research The arrector pili muscle, the bridge between the follicular stem cell niche and the interfollicular epidermis

14 citations , July 2016 in “Anatomical Science International”

This study revealed that in androgenic alopecia, the proximal attachment of the arrector pili muscle to the hair follicle is often lost or significantly reduced.

research The Arrector Pili Muscle and the Follicular Unit of the Scalp: A Microscopic Anatomy Study

24 citations , September 2002 in “Dermatologic Surgery”

This study describes the anatomy of arrector pili muscles in scalp hair follicular units, proposing a model where a single muscle structure is shared by all follicles within a unit.

research In vitro culture of murine fetal epidermal stem cell and its relationship with the regeneration of hair follicle

January 2003 in “Zhonghua shaoshang zazhi”

In this study, murine fetal epidermal stem cells successfully formed new hair follicle structures when cografted with folliculus pili cells in nude mice.

research Beyond goosebumps: Does the arrector pili muscle have a role in hair loss?

31 citations , January 2014 in “International Journal of Trichology”

This review summarizes the anatomy and physiology of the arrector pili muscle and discusses its potential role in hair loss disorders, reporting no new clinical results.

research Immunohistochemical localization of fibroblast growth factor 18 in hair follicles of healthy beagle dogs

2 citations , March 2011 in “Veterinary Dermatology”

This study identified fibroblast growth factor 18 in various components of canine hair follicles and other tissues, but found no significant differences in its presence across seasons, body regions, or sexes in beagle dogs.

community PP405 Won’t Work: Follicle Is Miniaturized, Fibrosed, And Missing Key Support Cells

7 months ago

PP405 is ineffective for miniaturized, fibrosed hair follicles in androgenetic alopecia. AMP303 may activate hair follicle stem cells, but minoxidil and finasteride are still the main treatments.

community Molecule PP405: A Research Team Backed By Google Ventures Has Discovered One Of The Most Promising Solutions For Hair Loss To Date

in Research/Science 479 upvotes 1 year ago

PP405 is a promising new treatment for hair loss that activates dormant stem cells in hair follicles, potentially bypassing the effects of DHT. It is currently in phase 2 trials and could be available between 2027 and 2030, but it is not considered a definitive cure.

community How true is the statement: dead follicles don't grow back?

112 upvotes 1 year ago

Hair follicles usually go dormant rather than die, and treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and hormone therapy can sometimes reactivate them, though results vary. Complete regrowth is rare, especially in long-term bald areas, but some individuals see significant improvement with these treatments.

community Do hair follicles dies or are dormant ?

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 92 upvotes 1 year ago

Hair follicles can be dormant and potentially revived with treatments like finasteride and minoxidil, but irreversible loss occurs if certain structures are destroyed. Early intervention is more effective, and additional methods like microneedling may help.

community Can pp405 revive dead follicles for long time bald people? Are those even dead? After 10+ years bald

47 upvotes 1 year ago

PP405 may revive dormant hair follicles but is unlikely to help with long-term baldness where follicles are replaced by scar tissue. It is seen as a potential adjunct to treatments like minoxidil and finasteride, but its effectiveness on deeply fibrotic or scarred areas is doubtful.
