Did you mean Hair Follicle Bulge?

Glossary Hair Follicle Bulge

specific region housing stem cells for hair growth

The hair follicle bulge is a specific region located in the outer root sheath of the hair follicle. It serves as a reservoir for stem cells that are crucial for hair growth and regeneration, as well as for repairing the skin after injury. This area is essential for the cyclical nature of hair growth and plays a significant role in conditions like alopecia.

research Autofluorescence in the Stem Cell Region of the Hair Follicle Bulge

17 citations , March 2005 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

This study found that human hair follicle bulge stem cells exhibited autofluorescence, potentially due to high flavin- and NAD-related compound levels, highlighting the need to consider this when using fluorescent antibodies for studying these cells.

Cells Within the Bulge Region of Mouse Hair Follicle Transiently Proliferate During Early Anagen: Heterogeneity and Functional Differences of Various Hair Cycles

research Cells within the bulge region of mouse hair follicle transiently proliferate during early anagen: heterogeneity and functional differences of various hair cycles

130 citations , January 1994 in “Differentiation”

In this study, researchers found that bulge cells in mouse hair follicles undergo transient proliferation during early anagen, indicating their role as follicular stem cells. However, another factor beyond dermal papilla proximity may be required to initiate a new anagen phase.

Involvement of the Bulge Region with Decreased Expression of Hair Follicle Stem Cell Markers in Senile Female Cases of Alopecia Areata

research Involvement of the bulge region with decreased expression of hair follicle stem cell markers in senile female cases of alopecia areata

20 citations , December 2010 in “JEADV. Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology/Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology”

This study found that selective downregulation of CD200 in the bulge area might contribute to unusual bulge involvement in a subset of alopecia areata cases.

$Human Keratinocytes Derived from the Bulge Region of Hair Follicles Are Refractory to Differentiation$

research Human keratinocytes derived from the bulge region of hair follicles are refractory to differentiation

8 citations , April 2009 in “International journal of oncology”

This study found that bulge-derived keratinocytes from human follicles were more resistant to differentiation compared to epidermal keratinocytes, possibly due to WIF-1 involvement.

research In vitro identification of a stem cell population from canine hair follicle bulge region

5 citations , December 2017 in “Tissue and cell/Tissue & cell”

This study observed that skin stem cells in dogs could be identified using CD34 and CD200 markers, although further refinement in isolation and cultivation methods is needed for better identification.

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 DHT Isn’t the Only Factor in Hair Loss and That Might Be the Key to a Real Cure

373 upvotes 6 months ago

Hair loss involves more than just DHT, with genetic factors like TRPS affecting hair follicles. Treatments such as Amplifica's AMP-601 and AMP-303 target stem cells for potential hair growth solutions.

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 A Theory on Why Microneedling Works

175 upvotes 6 years ago

Microneedling may enhance hair regrowth by transferring stem cells to dormant follicles, improving the effects of minoxidil. Users discuss using microneedling with needle lengths around 1.5mm to stimulate hair growth.

community Blocking dht should bring it back. So why does fin mostly just hold the line?

17 upvotes 3 months ago

Finasteride mainly prevents further hair loss by blocking DHT but doesn't reverse existing damage, while minoxidil can promote regrowth by waking dormant follicles. Ketoconazole helps with inflammation, but none of these treatments can reverse fibrosis or structural changes around hair follicles.

learn Fluocinolone

Can long-term use of Fluocinolone affect the health of hair follicles? There is no long-term human trial measuring what topical fluocinolone does to hair follicles; what is documented is the label's warning about skin atrophy with prolonged use, plus a 2007 mouse study suggesting hair-follicle bulge stem cells do not repair steroid-induced atrophy.
