In this study, researchers identified a generegulatory network in Arabidopsis that controls root hairgrowth under low-temperature conditions, revealing specific transcription factors and downstream targets that contribute to this growth response despite overall plant development being halted.
In this study, researchers analyzed miRNA and gene expression in the hair follicles of FMD during different hair cycle stages, identifying differential expression patterns and key pathways involved in hair follicle development and growth.

In this study using a transgenic mouse model, Id2 overexpression in hair follicle stem cells prolonged quiescence by affecting gene expression, partly independent from BMP signaling.
This study found that in Liaoning cashmere goats, the BMP4 gene shows increased transcription from the anagen stage to telogen, and higher gene methylation correlates with reduced expression in skin tissue.
The conversation discusses various hair loss treatments, including Minoxidil, Dutasteride, Finasteride, and Tretinoin, with users sharing personal experiences and side effects. It reflects on generational attitudes towards hair loss and the emotional impact of hair loss remedies.
Low oxytocin levels in hair are linked to reduced empathy and may affect hairgrowth. Cinnamic acid can promote hairgrowth by activating oxytocin receptors.
Breezula shows promising hairgrowth results, with up to 539% increase in hair count compared to placebo, and regulatory submissions are planned in the US and EU. Users are cautiously optimistic, noting the potential for Breezula to replace finasteride by targeting DHT without systemic effects.
Cannabis and THC may have mixed effects on hair, with some studies suggesting potential negative impacts on hairgrowth in isolated hair follicles, but these results are hard to apply to living humans. Treatments like minoxidil and finasteride are commonly used for hair loss, and the effects of cannabis might be neutral or vary based on individual factors.
Is tamsulosin linked to hair thinning or hair improvement as a side effect?Published tamsulosin trials, the product label and regulatory reviews do not establish a link to hair thinning, and no controlled study supports it as a hair-growth treatment; scattered post-marketing reports of alopecia exist but are not evidence of cause.
