    GlossaryHair Follicle Mesenchymal Stem Cells (HF-MSCs)

    cells in hair follicles that can become various tissue types

    Hair Follicle Mesenchymal Stem Cells (HF-MSCs) are a type of stem cell found within the hair follicle that have the ability to differentiate into various cell types, including those that form skin, hair, and connective tissues. These cells play a crucial role in hair growth, wound healing, and tissue regeneration, making them a significant focus in regenerative medicine and treatments for conditions like alopecia.

      Minoxidil may improve or worsen skin quality, with topical forms causing dryness and wrinkles, possibly due to alcohol content, while oral forms have fewer side effects. Some users consider using tretinoin to mitigate negative effects.

      community Hair follicle cloning is already possible

      in Chat  38 upvotes 5 months ago
      Hair follicle cloning is claimed to be possible but not widely available due to potential safety issues, such as cancer risks. Current treatments like finasteride and dutasteride are not effective for everyone, and there is frustration over limited access to these medications.

      community 5 months topical spiro + minox + micro

      in Progress Pictures  6 upvotes 2 months ago
      A 35-year-old male uses topical minoxidil, spironolactone, and microneedling for hair loss, with spironolactone prescribed based on a DNA test indicating poor response to finasteride and dutasteride. Despite concerns about the test's validity and spironolactone's side effects, he reports stable or improved hair condition and no low testosterone symptoms.

      community Do hair follicles dies or are dormant ?

      in Finasteride/Dutasteride  92 upvotes 4 months ago
      Hair follicles can be dormant and potentially revived with treatments like finasteride and minoxidil, but irreversible loss occurs if certain structures are destroyed. Early intervention is more effective, and additional methods like microneedling may help.
