5 / 1000+ resultsresearch An Integrated Transcriptome Atlas of Embryonic Hair Follicle Progenitors, Their Niche, and the Developing Skin
The study identified unique genes in hair follicle cells and their environment, suggesting these genes help organize cells for hair growth.
research Gata6 Promotes Hair Follicle Progenitor Cell Renewal by Genome Maintenance During Proliferation
Gata6 is important for protecting hair growth cells from DNA damage and keeping normal hair growth.
research Progenitor-Derived Endothelin Controls Dermal Sheath Contraction for Hair Follicle Regression
A specific signal from hair cells controls the tightening of the surrounding muscle, which is necessary for hair shedding.
research Effect of Prostaglandin D2 on Hair Follicle Growth and Its Impact on Hair Follicle Stem/Progenitor Cells
Blocking Prostaglandin D₂ may help treat hair loss.
research Constitutive Activation of Stat3 Increases Hair Follicle Progenitor Population at the Expense of Bulge Region Keratinocyte Stem Cells
Stat3 activation increases hair follicle progenitors but reduces bulge region stem cells.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity A concise, easy-to-understand post on Androgenic Alopecia theory and its practical applications
The mechanism of Androgenic Alopecia and practical applications of treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, RU58841, dermarolling, scalp massages, anti-fungals, progesterone, estrogen, PPAR-γ activators, reducing oxidative stress, and scalp exercises. It explains why DHT is important in AA and how other factors might be involved such as hypoxia, increased DKK-1 expression, morphological changes to the scalp, skull growth during childhood/puberty, and blood flow.
community Solving Hair Loss with Research at MIT
Hair loss treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, TDM-105795, and PP405. MIT is hosting a hackathon to find innovative hair loss solutions.
community My Theory Of Androgenic Alopecia
Hair loss is linked to cellular physiology and the IGF-1 to TGF-B1 ratio, not just androgen sensitivity. The theory lacks evidence, while finasteride and minoxidil are effective treatments.
community New and Interesting HairLoss Studies/Papers/Reviews
Hair loss treatments discussed include Dutasteride with Ketoconazole, tissue engineering strategies, and androgenetic alopecia therapies. Massage doubles follicular retention, improving treatment effectiveness.
community Confused why people are calling PP405 a cure...it never claimed to be able to undo miniaturization or revert vellus back to terminal hairs. It seems to be more of a growth stimulant like minoxidil.
PP405 is not a cure for hair loss but may reactivate dormant hair follicles, similar to minoxidil. It is unlikely to help with miniaturized or vellus hairs and is still in trial phases, with availability expected around 2030.
