research Possible Cellular Communication with Human Follicle Dermal Papilla Cells via Secretions from Human Hair Follicle Keratinocytes
Substances from human hair cells can affect hair loss-related genes, potentially leading to new treatments for baldness.

research Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells from Human Hair Follicle Keratinocytes as a Potential Source for In Vitro Hair Follicle Cloning
Human hair follicle cells can be turned into stem cells that may help clone hair for treating hair loss or burns.
research Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells From Human Hair Follicle Keratinocytes As A Potential Source For In Vitro Hair Follicle Cloning
Human hair follicles can be used to create stem cells that might help clone hair for treating hair loss or helping burn patients.

research Aging and Colony-Forming Efficiency of Human Hair Follicle Keratinocytes
Aging reduces the ability of human hair follicle cells to form new cell colonies.
research Cell Kinetics of the Human Hair Follicle

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Weed/THC effects on hair growth/hair loss, and vitality of organ-culture human follicle studies (research review)
Cannabis and THC may have mixed effects on hair, with some studies suggesting potential negative impacts on hair growth 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.
community HairClone developing cell replacement treatments for Hair Loss
HairClone is developing cell replacement treatments to rejuvenate and generate hair follicles, and has launched a crowdfunding campaign. A user expressed skepticism about the need for crowdfunding.
community How all hormones affect our hair follicles. Not just DHT. Take a look at this paper. Prolactin, melatonin, cortisol, progesterone, testosterone and more
The conversation discusses various factors affecting hair loss, not just DHT, and mentions treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, and melatonin. Some users report personal experiences with these treatments and hormone tests, while others speculate on the role of hormones like prolactin and cortisol in hair loss.
community New and Interesting HairLoss Studies/Papers/Reviews
Hair loss treatments discussed include Dutasteride with Ketoconazole, tissue engineering strategies, and androgenetic alopecia therapies. Massage doubles follicular retention, improving treatment effectiveness.

community Minoxidil Response Bottlenecks: Why Sulfation and Transport Matter (And Where Tretinoin Fits In)
Minoxidil's effectiveness is limited by the need for sulfation and proper transport to hair follicles, with tretinoin potentially enhancing its effects by promoting enzyme activity and keratinocyte differentiation. Tretinoin may improve minoxidil's response by boosting the expression of necessary enzymes and transporters.
