research Single-cell transcriptomics reveals lineage trajectory of human scalp hair follicle and informs mechanisms of hair graying

13 citations , May 2022 in “Cell discovery”

This study used single-cell RNA sequencing to create a detailed atlas of human scalp hair follicles and found that early-stage hair graying involves matrix hair progenitor depletion linked to P53 pathway activation.

research Multimodal Human Scalp Atlas Defines Cell Landscape and Lineage Architecture In Situ

June 2026 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)”

This study developed a comprehensive atlas of human scalp tissue to uncover cell states and lineages in hair follicles, identifying disease-specific cellular changes associated with non-scarring and scarring hair loss, which may offer new diagnostic and therapeutic insights.

research Protocol for optimized dissociation of human scalp tissue for hair follicle transcriptomics by scRNA-seq

2 citations , February 2024 in “STAR Protocols”

In this research, an optimized protocol was developed for dissociating human scalp tissue to produce high-quality single-cell suspensions suitable for single-cell RNA sequencing, aimed at studying the transcriptomics of human hair follicles.

research Multi-scale spatial mapping of cell populations across anatomical sites in healthy human skin and basal cell carcinoma

1 citations , August 2023 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)”

This study created a detailed spatial atlas of healthy human skin and basal cell carcinoma, revealing a potential hair follicle origin for basal cell carcinoma and expansion of certain mesenchymal cell populations.

Integrated Single-Cell Chromatin and Transcriptomic Analyses of Human Scalp Reveal Etiological Insights Into Genetic Risk for Hair and Skin Disease

research Integrated single-cell chromatin and transcriptomic analyses of human scalp reveal etiological insights into genetic risk for hair and skin disease

September 2022 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)”

This study identifies gene-regulatory networks related to genetic variants in skin and hair diseases, suggesting that dermal papilla cells are crucial in androgenetic alopecia.

community Baldness Breakthrough: microRNA Stimulates Hair Growth in Aging Follicles

316 upvotes 3 years ago

miR-205, a tiny RNA, can stimulate hair growth by softening aging hair follicle stem cells in mice. Future tests aim to see if this can work in humans.

community So we have 20k dollars human like machines available but no new effective treatment for hairloss since finasteride :)

in Chat 237 upvotes 1 year ago

There have been no new effective hair loss treatments since finasteride, despite technological advancements. Current treatments include finasteride, minoxidil, and RU58841, with ongoing challenges and potential future solutions in research.

community Why does this industry still revolve around 5-AR inhibitors?

40 upvotes 5 years ago

Hair loss treatments still rely heavily on minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841, with little innovation. Future treatments like stem cell therapy and RNA technology show promise but are not yet available.

community Journey against alopecia - Finasteride 3 month

17 upvotes 4 years ago

A 26-year-old man from France started experiencing hair loss in September 2020 and began using finasteride in June 2021, reporting some improvement after three months without side effects. He plans to continue finasteride for a year before considering additional treatments like minoxidil or dermarolling.

community My Theory Of Androgenic Alopecia

16 upvotes 10 months ago

Hair loss is linked to cellular physiology and the IGF-1 to TGF-B1 ratio, not just androgen sensitivity. The theory lacks evidence, while finasteride and minoxidil are effective treatments.

learn Bicalutamide

What results can you expect from using bicalutamide on your scalp? There is no published human study of bicalutamide applied to the scalp for hair loss, no licensed topical product and no established dose, so no result can be predicted from it. The evidence that exists is for the oral tablet in women, which is a prescription drug requiring liver monitoring and contraindicated in pregnancy.

learn Rapamycin

Is rapamycin safe for long-term use on the scalp, or should it be used in cycles? There is no published human trial of topical rapamycin on the scalp, so nobody knows whether long-term use is safe; the idea of cycling it comes from community practice and theory, not from any study or guideline, and rapamycin for hair loss is an off-label use of a prescription immunosuppressant.

learn Latanoprost

Can latanoprost be safely applied to the scalp, or is it only for eyelashes? Latanoprost is not approved for use on the scalp and its safety there has not been established: the only human scalp evidence is one 24-week pilot trial in 16 men, and clinicians flag irritation, skin darkening and unknown absorption over a large area as open risks.

learn capsicum

How does capsicum improve scalp circulation and boost growth? Capsaicin dilates blood vessels through TRPV1 activation, so capsicum is expected to raise scalp blood flow, but every human hair-loss study used it inside a multi-ingredient formula — and the strongest one gave it orally, not on the scalp — so its effect on hair by itself is unproven, and it is a known skin irritant.

learn sh-Polypeptide-7

How does sh-Polypeptide-7 help stimulate hair follicle activity or reduce scalp inflammation? sh-Polypeptide-7 is the INCI name for a lab-made form of human growth hormone (somatotropin) — not EGF, which is sh-Oligopeptide-1. Growth hormone and IGF-1 signalling is documented in hair follicle biology, but there is no published human trial of sh-Polypeptide-7 applied to the scalp for hair growth or scalp inflammation.
