Autophagy is crucial for normal sebaceous gland function and sebum composition.
research Pathology in Practice: Sebaceous Gland Dysplasia in Persian Cats
Three related Persian cats have a rare, likely hereditary skin condition causing hair loss and poor coat quality, with limited treatment options.
research Ceramide Synthase 4 Regulates Stem Cell Homeostasis and Hair Follicle Cycling
The study demonstrated that Ceramide Synthase 4 (CerS4) was crucial for regulating hair follicle stem cell homeostasis and hair follicle cycling in mice. Inactivation of CerS4 led to premature activation of hair follicle bulge stem cells, resulting in prolonged anagen-like states and eventual hair loss in aged mice. This was linked to decreased bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling and increased Wnt signaling, causing changes in hair follicle and sebaceous gland morphology, including increased proliferation and reduced quiescent stem cells. The findings suggested that CerS4 was essential for maintaining normal hair follicle cycling and preventing hair loss by regulating signaling pathways in the epidermis.

Finasteride and dutasteride may not significantly impact meibomian gland function since these glands do not rely on DHT. Some users report dry eyes and other side effects from finasteride, but these may be influenced by other factors or medications.
community Blaming Finasteride doesn't help you solve anything: dry eyes
Finasteride is debated for causing dry eyes, with some users experiencing relief after stopping it, while others find no connection. Topical treatments like dutasteride and minoxidil are suggested as alternatives, with advice to consult medical professionals.
community IVF process on Finasteride and effects of stopping finasteride.
Concerns about finasteride affecting sperm quality and embryo abnormalities during IVF. The user plans to stop finasteride for 6 months and use minoxidil, microneedling, a red light cap, and saw palmetto shampoo to manage hair loss.
community This is the best time in human history to be fighting hair loss
This conversation discusses the advancements in treatments for hair loss, including finasteride, dutasteride, minoxidil and new promising treatments such as pyrilutamide and verteporfin. Other treatments discussed were taking minoxidil orally, tretinoin to turn non-responders into responders and microneedling to further boost growth.
community Fresh off the press: Dutasteride may cause chronic infertility
Dutasteride may cause chronic infertility by reducing semen volume and motility, with concerns about irreversible prostate fibrosis. Users consider switching to finasteride or using treatments like minoxidil and microneedling, weighing hair preservation against fertility.
