research From hair to heart: nestin-expressing hair-follicle-associated pluripotent (HAP) stem cells differentiate to beating cardiac muscle cells

64 citations , May 2015 in “Cell Cycle”

This study found that hair follicle stem cells from mice can differentiate into beating cardiac muscle cells, suggesting potential applications for heart regeneration in regenerative medicine.

research Isoproterenol directs hair follicle-associated pluripotent (HAP) stem cells to differentiate in vitro to cardiac muscle cells which can be induced to form beating heart-muscle tissue sheets

29 citations , March 2016 in “Cell cycle/Cell cycle (Georgetown, Tex. Online)”

This study observed that isoproterenol directs hair-follicle-associated pluripotent stem cells to differentiate into cardiac muscle cells in large numbers, forming tissue sheets of beating heart muscle cells in culture.

research Improving translational research in sex-specific effects of comorbidities and risk factors in ischaemic heart disease and cardioprotection: position paper and recommendations of the ESC Working Group on Cellular Biology of the Heart

47 citations , May 2020 in “Cardiovascular Research”

This review explores how sex differences influence the pathophysiology, incidence, and treatment outcomes of ischaemic heart disease, and emphasizes the need for more sex-specific research.

research Hair follicle associated pluripotent (HAP) stem cell from young mice have the greatest potential to differentiate to cardiac muscle cells

April 2017 in “Journal of dermatological science”

This study found that the ability of hair-follicle-associated pluripotent stem cells to differentiate into cardiac muscle cells decreased sharply with age in mice, suggesting early stem cell banking for future regenerative treatments.

research Serum dihydrotestosterone levels are associated with adverse myocardial remodeling in patients with severe aortic valve stenosis before and after aortic valve replacement

4 citations , October 2022 in “American journal of physiology. Heart and circulatory physiology”

This study found that in patients with severe aortic valve stenosis, higher serum dihydrotestosterone levels were associated with increased myocardial hypertrophy, fibrosis, and reduced left ventricular function.

community Occipitalis Muscle Tension Theory

13 upvotes 7 months ago

Scalp tension from the occipitalis muscle is theorized to contribute to hair loss, but most believe DHT and genetics are the main causes. Treatments like finasteride and minoxidil are considered more effective than addressing scalp tension.

community My muscles & butt are disappearing on finas, and I’m only taking it because my hair was vanishing too. Help! Details below.

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 7 upvotes 5 years ago

A 39 year old female who has been taking finasteride for 1.5 months and is experiencing side effects such as muscle and butt shrinkage, and weight loss despite still having tight clothing. The user is seeking advice from those with knowledge of bodybuilding and hormones to help figure out the issue.

community Finasteride , creatine and muscle growth

28 upvotes 1 year ago

Finasteride does not significantly affect muscle gains and can slightly increase testosterone levels. Creatine is generally considered safe to use with finasteride, though some believe it may increase DHT levels, potentially affecting hair loss.

community Finasteride is Good for Heart Health!

in Research/Science 119 upvotes 2 years ago

Finasteride, a hair loss and prostate drug, may also benefit heart health. Some users discuss the potential negative effects of DHT on the heart and the balance between hair loss treatments and heart health.

community Topical minoxidil + dermarolling gave me heart arrhythmia (PVCs) — sharing my experience, not trying to scare anyone

250 upvotes 1 week ago

Using topical minoxidil with dermarolling can lead to heart arrhythmia due to increased absorption. Users report cardiac side effects, suggesting caution when combining these treatments.

signaling protein that, when suppressed, may grow hair by reducing inflammation and stem cell loss

learn GHK-Cu

Heard alopecia areata leaves scar-like spots? Some peptides are helping those areas regrow hair. Alopecia areata patches usually still have living follicles. Peptides are being studied as a possible add-on, but the evidence is small and early. See a dermatologist for treatment.

learn capsicum

Can the heat from capsicum actually wake up dormant hair follicles? Capsicum heat may stimulate dormant hair follicles through increased blood flow and growth factors.

learn Minoxidil

What are the side effects of minoxidil, and can oral minoxidil affect your heart? Minoxidil can cause side effects, and because it was designed as a blood-pressure drug, some of them involve the heart and circulation. Published studies of low-dose oral minoxidil describe mostly mild problems, but fluid around the heart, pericarditis and other serious events have been reported, and the long-term picture is still being studied. Do not start, stop or change minoxidil without a doctor, and if you develop chest pain, a racing heartbeat, shortness of breath, fainting, swelling or rapid weight gain while using it, stop and seek medical care.
