research Responses of hair follicle–associated structures to loss of planar cell polarity signaling
Loss of Fz6 disrupts hair follicle and associated structures' orientation.
research [Effects of immune responses mediated by topological structures of three-dimensional bioprinted scaffolds on hair follicle cycle in mice].
Moderate immune responses help hair growth, while excessive responses slow it down.
research Characterization of response of murine hair follicle-derived keratinocyte against androgen and testosterone 5α-redactase activity
Mouse hair cells respond to male hormones by growing less, and this can be stopped by certain blockers.
research Ability to culture dermal papilla cells from red deer (Cervus elaphus) hair follicles with differing hormonal responses in vivo offers a new model for studying the control of hair follicle biology
Red deer hair cells offer a new way to study how hormones affect hair growth.
research Author response: Coordinated hedgehog signaling induces new hair follicles in adult skin
Hedgehog signaling can create new hair follicles in adult skin but may increase cancer risk.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity How much time does it need to pass for a hair follicle to be considered "unrecoverable"?
A user who experienced hair loss and stopped finasteride 4.5 years ago is considering restarting treatment with finasteride and oral minoxidil, questioning if their hair follicles are still recoverable. Responses suggest that hair follicles may not die and can potentially be revived even after many years, with some users sharing personal success stories using treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, microneedling, and RU58841.
community Minoxidil Response Bottlenecks: Why Sulfation and Transport Matter (And Where Tretinoin Fits In)
Minoxidil's effectiveness is limited by the need for sulfation and proper transport to hair follicles, with tretinoin potentially enhancing its effects by promoting enzyme activity and keratinocyte differentiation. Tretinoin may improve minoxidil's response by boosting the expression of necessary enzymes and transporters.
community Intermittent fasting reduces hair growth?!? :(
Intermittent fasting may inhibit hair growth by triggering a stress response that affects hair-follicle stem cells. Some users believe genetics and DHT play a larger role in hair loss, and treatments like Minoxidil and Finasteride are mentioned as ineffective for some.
community DUPA, Non Responders and Connective Tissue Disorders
A 27-year-old male with diffuse hair loss, including the donor area, did not respond to finasteride, dutasteride, or minoxidil. He suspects his hair loss may be linked to a mild connective tissue disorder, possibly affecting the structural support of hair follicles, rather than being purely hormonal.
community How is it possible for someone to be a non responder to ORAL minoxidil?
Some individuals do not respond to oral minoxidil for hair loss, despite it generally working by improving blood flow to hair follicles. Factors like metabolism, drug interactions, and individual variations in the drug's activation may influence its effectiveness.
