research The follicular microbiome in hair-follicle-associated inflammatory diseases: A systematic review

June 2026 in “Clinical and Experimental Dermatology”

This study reviewed 55 studies to assess the bacterial microbiome in hair follicles across different inflammatory skin and hair conditions, reporting shifts in the abundance of Cutibacterium and Staphylococcus among various diseases, though the causal significance remains unclear.

research Cross-species comparative spatial transcriptomics of hair follicle-T cell interactions identifies conserved drivers of cutaneous lupus erythematosus skin disease and associated hair loss

July 2026 in “Nature Communications”

This study used spatial transcriptomics to investigate T cell-hair follicle interactions in cutaneous lupus erythematosus across mice, dogs, and humans, finding that CXCR3+ T cells and B cells are enriched in lesional skin, with implications for potential therapeutic targets.

research hKAP1.6 and hKAP1.7, Two Novel Human High Sulfur Keratin-Associated Proteins are Expressed in the Hair Follicle Cortex

24 citations , February 2002 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology”

In this study, researchers identified two new keratin-associated proteins, hKAP1.6 and hKAP1.7, in human hair follicles, contributing to understanding hair fiber differentiation.

research Eccrine sweat glands associate with the human hair follicle within a defined compartment of dermal white adipose tissue

36 citations , February 2018 in “British Journal of Dermatology”

In this study, researchers found that eccrine sweat glands in human scalp skin are morphologically integrated into the pilosebaceous unit, suggesting they form a common homeostatic tissue environment with adjacent structures.

research A Case of Generalized Hair Follicle Hamartoma Associated with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

1 citations , July 2004 in “The Journal of Dermatology”

This case report describes a female patient with systemic lupus erythematosus who developed generalized hair-follicle hamartoma, marking the fourth documented association between the two conditions.

community 57% increased chance of pattern hair loss independently associated with the consumption of sugary beverages in men (p<0.001).

297 upvotes 2 years ago

Sugary beverages increase the risk of pattern hair loss in men by 57%, and type 2 diabetes is linked to female pattern hair loss. Reducing sugar intake and using treatments like finasteride and minoxidil may help manage hair loss.

community If PP405 does revive "dead" hair follicles would DHT blockers theoretically be enough to maintain that new hair

in Research/Science 115 upvotes 11 months ago

PP405 may revive dormant hair follicles, and DHT blockers like finasteride or dutasteride could maintain new hair. Combining PP405 with minoxidil might be optimal, but long-term effects and continuous use are uncertain.

community 57% increased chance of pattern hair loss independently associated with the consumption of sugary beverages in men (p<0.001) Pt 2

484 upvotes 2 years ago

Sugary beverages increase the risk of pattern hair loss in men by 57%. Treatments discussed include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.

community PP405 Won’t Work: Follicle Is Miniaturized, Fibrosed, And Missing Key Support Cells

7 months ago

PP405 is ineffective for miniaturized, fibrosed hair follicles in androgenetic alopecia. AMP303 may activate hair follicle stem cells, but minoxidil and finasteride are still the main treatments.

community You will lose hair if your prostaglandins aren't in balance

56 upvotes 1 year ago

Prostaglandin balance affects hair loss, particularly in conditions like Lichen Planopilaris, where an imbalance can lead to hair follicle damage. Treatments mentioned include prostaglandin analogs and Pioglitazone HCL, with a focus on maintaining prostaglandin equilibrium for potential hair regrowth.
