    process stimulating dormant cells to grow new hair

    Hair Follicle Stem Cell Activation refers to the process by which dormant stem cells within the hair follicle are stimulated to divide and differentiate, leading to the growth of new hair. This activation can be influenced by various factors, including hormonal changes, injury, or specific signaling molecules, and is crucial for hair regeneration and repair.

      Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.

      community Fats on your Head to Stop Hair Loss?

      in Research/Science  138 upvotes 9 months ago
      The conversation discusses the potential of long-chain unsaturated fatty acids, like oleic and linoleic acid, as an additional treatment for hair loss, which may inhibit the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone to DHT and promote hair growth. Users humorously suggest using oils topically and discuss other hair loss treatments, but the main focus is on the science behind fatty acids and their role in hair health.
