research Analysis of the Pretreatment Effect of Ethanol on the Stratum Corneum and Hair Follicular Penetration of Drugs Using the Hair Follicle Plugging Method
Ethanol pretreatment affects drug penetration through skin and hair follicles.
research Non-Invasive Monitoring of Low Molecular Weight Biomarkers Relevant to Skin Inflammation and Cancer
Non-invasive methods can effectively monitor skin inflammation and cancer biomarkers.
research Hair Follicle-Targeting Drug Delivery Strategies for the Management of Hair Follicle-Associated Disorders
New hair follicle-targeting treatments show promise for hair disorders but need more research on safety and effectiveness.
research miR-29a-5p Inhibits Prenatal Hair Placode Formation Through Targeting EDAR by ceRNA Regulatory Network
miR-29a-5p prevents the formation of early hair structures by targeting a gene important for hair growth and is regulated by a complex network involving lncRNA627.1.

Hair loss treatments discussed include Dutasteride with Ketoconazole, tissue engineering strategies, and androgenetic alopecia therapies. Massage doubles follicular retention, improving treatment effectiveness.
community Keratin microspheres - breakthrough
A gel of keratin microspheres promotes hair follicle growth, showing similar effectiveness to minoxidil in mice. The treatment activates hair growth pathways and reduces inflammation, with potential applications in drug delivery for hair-related disorders.
community Tazarotene shows strong standalone hair regrowth potential, not just a Minoxidil enhancer. Backed by VEGF, HF regeneration, and angiogenesis pathways. Here’s why.
Tazarotene shows potential as a standalone treatment for hair regrowth by stimulating new hair follicle formation and promoting angiogenesis, similar to microneedling effects. It can be used topically without minoxidil, but users should start with a low concentration to avoid irritation.
community A better treatment would be a localized 5ar inhibitor that breaks down when it enters blood or leaves hair follicle
The conversation discusses the need for a localized 5-alpha reductase inhibitor that only affects the scalp without systemic side effects, similar to pyrilutamide's approach. Current treatments like topical liposomal finasteride and dutasteride are mentioned, but concerns about their systemic effects and lack of research are highlighted.
community Scientists in Japan develop a new technique to reverse balding by transplanting a special kind of hair follicle cell into a patient's scalp
A new technique developed by scientists in Japan to reverse balding using hair follicle cell transplants, and the discussion around the effectiveness of this approach compared to other treatments such as Minoxidil, finasteride, RU58841, Replicel, and Hairclone.
