Glossary Hair Follicle Cells

specialized cells responsible for hair growth and regeneration

Hair follicle cells, also known as follicular cells, are specialized cells located within the hair follicle, the skin structure responsible for hair growth. These cells play a crucial role in the hair growth cycle, including the phases of growth (anagen), regression (catagen), and rest (telogen). They are involved in the production of keratin, the protein that makes up hair, and are essential for the regeneration and repair of hair.

research [Skin-like structure generated from implantation of hair follicle bulb cells into collagen/chitosan porous scaffolds in vitro].

July 2004 in “PubMed”

This study found that a skin-like structure can be generated in vitro by implanting early passage hair follicle bulb cells into collagen/chitosan porous scaffolds.

research Hair follicle stem cells: Walking the maze

165 citations , June 2007 in “European Journal of Cell Biology”

This review discusses the various stem cell populations associated with hair follicles and their potential in regenerative medicine, highlighting differences between murine and human hair follicles but reports no new clinical results.

research Pilose antler extracts promotes hair growth in androgenetic alopecia mice by activating hair follicle stem cells via the AKT and Wnt pathways

July 2024 in “Frontiers in Pharmacology”

This study suggests that pilose antler extracts promote hair regrowth in androgenetic alopecia mice by activating the AKT and Wnt pathways, enhancing hair follicle stem cell proliferation.

research Epidermal growth factor and fibroblast growth factor accelerate proliferation of human hair bulb papilla cells and root sheath tibroblasts cultured in vitro

9 citations , March 1987 in “British Journal of Dermatology”

This study found that epidermal growth factor and fibroblast growth factor accelerated proliferation of human hair bulb papilla cells and root sheath fibroblasts cultured in vitro.

research 083 More Expression of IL-17 than IFN-γ from CD49a-negative Tissue-Resident Memory T (Trm) cells at the Hair Bulge and Hair Bulb Region in the Scalp of Chronic Alopecia Areata Patients according to the Foxp3+mTregs depletion

September 2019 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

This study found that in chronic alopecia areata, increased IL-17 expression and CD8+CD49a-Trm cell infiltration in hair follicles were associated with more severe histopathologic gradings, while Foxp3+mTreg infiltration decreased.

community UVA researchers discovered stem cells that plays a crucial role in hair growth - We are closer than ever to the cure!

281 upvotes 1 year ago

Researchers at the University of Virginia discovered a new group of stem cells in hair follicles that could potentially restore hair growth. The findings suggest that activating these stem cells might offer a new way to combat hair loss, though practical treatments are still years away.

community Microneedling must reach the stem cells in the upper hair shaft

82 upvotes 4 years ago

Microneedling should target depths of 0.5mm to 1.5mm for hair loss, with weekly sessions at 1mm recommended. Combining microneedling with Minoxidil is common for improved results.

community Anyone heard of HairStemCell Transplant? They claim not needing to pull the entire hair cell, allowing reuse of same donor area.

4 upvotes 8 years ago

HairStemCell Transplant claims to reuse the donor area without removing the entire hair cell, but results in finer hair that may not regrow after cycles. The technique is costly and less effective than traditional transplants for full coverage.

community Reminder: NURTURE those dormant hair follicles for as long as you can until PP405 comes out in 2028-2030

in Treatment 191 upvotes 10 months ago

PP405 is anticipated as a future treatment for dormant hair follicles, but its effectiveness and safety are uncertain. Current treatments include oral minoxidil and microneedling, with some avoiding finasteride due to side effects.

community Hair loss research focused on chemistry for decades because we misunderstood the mechanics of growth.

51 upvotes 7 months ago

Hair growth relies on mechanical forces, not just chemicals, with tissue acting like a motor. Minoxidil and finasteride help, but maintaining tissue elasticity and addressing mechanical issues are essential.
