research Light-Emitting Hair Follicles: Studying Skin Regeneration With In Vivo Imaging
Scientists developed tools to observe hair regeneration in real time and assess skin health, using glowing mice and light-controlled genes.
research Regulation of BMP Signaling in Melanogenesis, Pigment Transfer, and Melanocyte Migration
BMP signaling is important for skin color, affecting melanin production, pigment spread, and cell movement.
research Hair Follicle Signaling Networks: A Dermal Papilla–Centric Approach
The document concludes that dermal papilla cells are key for hair growth and could be used in new hair loss treatments.
research Oxytocin Receptor Is Present in Keratinocytes Near Touch and Pain Sensory Neurons
Oxytocin receptors are found in skin cells near touch and pain neurons.
research Hair Follicle Growth and Pigmentation During Aging
The research found that a specific skin cell type not only triggers hair growth but also controls hair color, and that aging can lead to hair loss and color changes.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Why is there so many people claiming Dutasteride destroyed their hair?
Some people claim Dutasteride worsened their hair loss, causing concern among users. Reasons suggested include initial shedding phases, incorrect attribution to Dutasteride when other factors are involved, genetic variations affecting drug response, and the possibility of non-authentic medication.
community Almost exactly a year apart. Trying to let it grow and blend a bit. 41 years old.
A user shared their one-year progress using Dutasteride, oral and topical Minoxidil, RU58841, and microneedling tools from Amazon, and credits learning from top posters on the forum. Other users discuss the effectiveness of the treatments, affordability, and reflect on the benefits of starting treatment early.
community How do we only have two treatments to combat hair loss at this point in time?
The post discusses frustration over the limited and not always effective treatments for hair loss, mainly Minoxidil and Finasteride. The conversation includes mentions of potential new treatments like GT20029, HMI-115, CosmeRNA, KX-826, and microneedling, but also highlights the challenges of funding and prioritizing research in this area.
community DHT Harms Scalp Microbiome: DHT Itch is REAL
Increased Malassezia and Cutibacterium in the scalp microbiome are linked to higher sebum production and inflammation in androgenetic alopecia (AGA). Treatments include ciclopirox shampoo, benzoyl peroxide shampoo, clobetasol propionate, calcipotriol, minoxidil, finasteride, and dutasteride.
community Painkillers May Block Minoxidil
Painkillers like Aspirin may reduce Minoxidil's effectiveness by inhibiting the enzyme PGHS-1, which is crucial for hair growth. Using NSAIDs that inhibit COX-2 or combining Minoxidil with PGF2/E2 analogues or retinoids may enhance its efficacy.
