research Trichoscopic findings in cicatricial alopecias and hair shaft disorders and its application in histopathology

1 citations , November 2017 in “International Journal of Research in Medical Sciences”

In this study, hair follicle effacement was identified as a key dermoscopic feature of cicatricial alopecia, and dermoscopy proved useful in distinguishing cicatricial from non-cicatricial alopecias.

research Collagen XVIII regulates basement membrane integrity : specific effects of its isoforms on the choroid plexus, kidney and hair follicle

7 citations , January 2011

Collagen XVIII is crucial for maintaining tissue structure and function in the brain, kidneys, and hair.

research Hair Disorders

October 2018 in “Springer eBooks”

The document concludes that various hair disorders have different treatments, including medication, surgery, and addressing underlying causes.

research Hair Transplantation in the Cicatricial Alopecias

2 citations , January 2013 in “Hair therapy & transplantation”

This review discusses surgical and future therapeutic options for cicatricial alopecia and reports no clinical results; the authors emphasize the need for more options for patients without active disease signs.

research Distinctive histopathologic findings in linear morphea (en coup de sabre) alopecia

19 citations , March 2013 in “Journal of Cutaneous Pathology”

This case report describes a 26-year-old female with linear morphea and unique alopecia characterized by atrophic follicular remnants, resembling telogen follicles but indicating permanent alopecia, unlike typical findings in morphea-related alopecia.

community Anyone here have a lot of knowledge on hair follicle stem cells and progenitor cells for PP405?

in Chat 4 upvotes 8 months ago

Hair follicle stem cells remain in bald individuals, but progenitor cells do not, raising questions about hair regrowth claims by Pelage. PP405 is discussed as a potential treatment, with skepticism about its effectiveness compared to existing treatments like Minoxidil and Finasteride.

community "Hair Follicle Stem Cells are quiescent 99% of the time and permanently reside in the hair follicle"

in Research/Science 1391 upvotes 1 year ago

Hair follicles are mostly dormant but can be reactivated with treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, and microneedling. A new drug, PP405, shows promise for hair regrowth but may not be available until 2027-2028.

community Hair follicle dermal papilla exosomes

2 upvotes 1 year ago

The conversation discusses using hair follicle dermal papilla exosomes for hair loss treatment. It inquires about purchasing options for this treatment.

community Hair follicle cloning is already possible

in Chat 38 upvotes 1 year ago

Hair follicle cloning is claimed to be possible but not widely available due to potential safety issues, such as cancer risks. Current treatments like finasteride and dutasteride are not effective for everyone, and there is frustration over limited access to these medications.

community Fully functional hair follicle regeneration through the rearrangement of stem cells and their niches

4 upvotes 11 years ago

Hair follicle regeneration through stem cell rearrangement is discussed, focusing on bioengineered cellular structures rather than traditional hair transplants. Treatments mentioned include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.

learn Niacinamide

Does niacinamide support hair follicle nutrition? Niacinamide is a precursor of NAD+, a molecule cells use for energy. Whether it affects hair follicles in people has not been tested.

learn Scalp Micropigmentation

Will scalp micropigmentation damage my existing hair or follicles? Providers say SMP sits above the hair follicles and does not harm them. No study has tested this, and infection or scarring from any tattoo can affect the skin.

learn Sulforaphane

Can sulforaphane protect hair follicles from inflammation and damage? In lab and mouse studies, sulforaphane reduced markers of inflammation and oxidative stress. No human study has tested whether it protects hair follicles.

learn Fluridil

Can daily Fluridil application stop hair follicle miniaturization? The single published fluridil trial (43 men; placebo-controlled for 3 months, then all on fluridil to 9 months) reported more hairs in the growth phase, but it never measured follicle diameter and has not been replicated — so whether daily use stops miniaturization is unproven, and community users describe stabilization rather than regrowth.

learn Folic acid

How does folic acid support hair follicle health and growth at a cellular level? Folate is required for the DNA synthesis that fast-dividing hair matrix cells depend on, and severe deficiency causes anemia—but no published trial has given folic acid to people with hair loss and measured the result, so a growth effect is a mechanism, not a finding.
