    GlossaryHair Follicle Stem Cell Niche

    specialized microenvironment regulating hair follicle stem cells

    The Hair Follicle Stem Cell Niche, also known as the HFSC Niche, is a specialized microenvironment within the hair follicle that houses and regulates hair follicle stem cells. This niche provides the necessary signals and support to maintain stem cell function, enabling the cyclical growth, rest, and shedding phases of hair. It plays a crucial role in hair regeneration and repair, making it a key area of interest in studies related to hair loss and regenerative medicine.

      community Diffuse hair loss and scalp biopsies

      in Research  692 upvotes 3 months ago
      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.

      in Chat  25 upvotes 5 months ago
      A user suggests that deeper microneedling with Verteporfin injections might help regrow hair in areas with scar tissue, alongside a DHT blocker. Another user explains that hair loss might be due to reduced Wnt/β-Catenin signaling and suggests that treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, and microneedling could potentially reverse it.
