Did you mean hair follicle initiation?

Glossary hair follicle initiation

early development where skin cells start forming hair structures

Hair follicle initiation refers to the early developmental process where cells in the skin begin to form the structures that will become hair follicles. This involves a complex interaction between various signaling pathways and cellular activities, leading to the formation of a hair germ, which eventually matures into a fully functional hair follicle. This process is crucial for hair growth and regeneration.

research Developmental timing of hair follicle and dorsal skin innervation in mice

86 citations , May 2002 in “Journal of comparative neurology”

This study observed that hair follicle innervation in C57BL/6 mice occurs in sequential stages that closely correlate with the development of hair follicles, indicating an interdependent relationship between neuronal and epithelial morphogenesis.

research [Peptidergic innervation in the sinus hair follicles of several mammalian species].

7 citations , October 1992 in “PubMed”

This study investigated peptidergic nerve fibers in sinus hair follicles of various mammals and found that CGRP fibers were more densely distributed than SP fibers across different regions of the follicles.

research Effects of a Closed Space Environment on Gene Expression in Hair Follicles of Astronauts in the International Space Station

14 citations , March 2016 in “PloS one”

This study found that spaceflight alters gene expression in human hair follicles, with variations among astronauts, and suggests that spaceflight may inhibit cell proliferation in hair follicles.

research Follicle-innervating Aδ-low threshold mechanoreceptors organize through a population-dependent mechanism

August 2022 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)”

This study found that in mice, competition for hair follicles guides the organization of follicle-innervating LTMR neurons during early development, with different neuronal subtypes showing varying adaptive responses to increased neuron populations.

research Dermal TRPV1 innervations engage a macrophage- and fibroblast-containing pathway to activate hair growth in mice

5 citations , June 2024 in “Developmental Cell”

In this study, activating TRPV1 nociceptors in mice skin stimulated dormant hair follicles and promoted hair growth through a mechanism involving dermal macrophages, fibroblasts, and neuropeptides, highlighting a new role for nociceptors in tissue recovery after injury.

community Has anyone here actually undergone experimental (grey market) hair cell therapy/follicle cloning?

7 upvotes 5 months ago

Hair cell therapy and follicle cloning are still in experimental stages, with treatments like hair multiplication and regenerative hair therapy being marketed but not yet proven to create unlimited new follicles. There is skepticism about the effectiveness and legitimacy of these treatments, with some considering them scams.

community Riken develops new method for culturing hair follicles

41 upvotes 8 years ago

A new stem cell method for culturing hair follicles is being developed as an alternative to Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841. There are concerns about its cost and accessibility despite plans for commercialization.

community The end of balding: We may have just found the secret to hair regrowth

in Technology 680 upvotes 1 year ago

MCL-1 is important for hair follicle stem cell survival, but its impact on human hair regrowth is unclear. Minoxidil and finasteride are the main treatments, with doubts about new discoveries leading to effective human solutions soon.

community Pyrilutamide just launched internationally, and all you're doing is hating

in Product 2 years ago

The post and conversation are about the high cost and skepticism surrounding pyrilutamide as a hair loss treatment, with comparisons to minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841. The original poster defends pyrilutamide's effectiveness and criticizes others for dismissing it without proper understanding.

community Why did this recent research paper from professor Tsuji lab in Japan largely go unnoticed by this sub? Isn't this discovery huge? (hair cloning)

35 upvotes 4 months ago

A recent discovery in hair cloning identified a previously unknown cell type essential for hair follicle growth, which could potentially make lab-grown hair viable if translated to humans. However, skepticism remains due to past delays and the challenges of replicating results in humans and making the process affordable.
