research Ex Vivo Organ Culture of Human Hair Follicles: A Model Epithelial–Neuroectodermal–Mesenchymal Interaction System

13 citations , October 2010 in “Methods in molecular biology”

This article discusses the development and research applications of human hair follicle organ culture techniques, highlighting its potential to explore biological processes beyond dermatology.

research Fully functional hair follicle organ regeneration using organ-inductive potential stem cells with an accessory mesenchymal cell population in an in vitro culture system

February 2026 in “Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications”

This study identifies a specific cell population, PDGFRα+/Sca1+/CD34+ mesenchymal cells, which play a crucial role in regenerating hair follicles by promoting the downgrowth phase of the hair cycle, offering insights into organ morphogenesis and stem cell niches essential for adult hair regeneration.

research Antisense oligonucleotide targeting fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR)-1 stimulates cellular activity of hair follicles in anin vitroorgan culture system

7 citations , March 2007 in “International Journal of Dermatology”

This study observed that antisense oligonucleotides targeting FGFR-1 increased cellular activity in hair follicle cultures from mice, suggesting potential clinical utility for treating baldness.

research Methods in hair research: how to objectively distinguish between anagen and catagen in human hair follicle organ culture

132 citations , September 2009 in “Experimental Dermatology”

This study introduced a new classification system for distinguishing between anagen VI and early catagen stages in human hair follicle organ culture, using it to confirm eflornithine's ability to induce premature catagen.

research A model system for long-term serum-free suspension organ culture of human fetal tissues: experiments on digits and skin from multiple body regions

17 citations , January 1997 in “Cell and Tissue Research”

This study found that a serum-free DMEM-F12 medium with 45% oxygen best supports in vitro development and differentiation of human fetal skin, closely mimicking the in vivo state.

community Weed/THC effects on hair growth/hair loss, and vitality of organ-culture human follicle studies (research review)

4 upvotes 1 year ago

Cannabis and THC may have mixed effects on hair, with some studies suggesting potential negative impacts on hair growth in isolated hair follicles, but these results are hard to apply to living humans. Treatments like minoxidil and finasteride are commonly used for hair loss, and the effects of cannabis might be neutral or vary based on individual factors.

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 new growth in hair loss research: With increasing evidence of its impact on mental health, scientists are pushing forward with breakthroughs on balding. Later this year, scientists will launch one of the first ever clinical trials with hair follicles grown entirely from stem cells.

324 upvotes 7 years ago

Hair loss impacts mental health, with treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, and stem cell transplants discussed. There is hope for future breakthroughs, but current treatments are limited, and awareness is lacking.

community Can liver problems be associated with response to the oral minoxidil?

in Research 147 upvotes 8 months ago

Liver problems may reduce the effectiveness of oral minoxidil due to impaired SULT1A1 enzyme activity, which is crucial for converting minoxidil to its active form. This reduction in enzyme function can significantly decrease the drug's effectiveness in promoting hair growth.

community So we have 20k dollars human like machines available but no new effective treatment for hairloss since finasteride :)

in Chat 237 upvotes 1 year ago

There have been no new effective hair loss treatments since finasteride, despite technological advancements. Current treatments include finasteride, minoxidil, and RU58841, with ongoing challenges and potential future solutions in research.
