research 080 Mouse models of alopecia areata: C3H/HeJ mice versus the humanized AA mouse model

April 2019 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

This paper discusses two preclinical models for studying alopecia areata and finds that testing new therapeutic agents should involve both the C3H/HeJ mouse model and the humanized mouse model for comprehensive insights.

research Blank Spots in the Map of Human Skin: The Challenge for Xenotransplantation

August 2023 in “International Journal of Molecular Sciences”

This review discusses the use of human-to-mouse xenografting to study human skin processes in vivo, highlighting its importance for understanding skin regeneration and pathology while identifying knowledge gaps and challenges in applying these findings to human skin.

research A Guide to Studying Human Hair Follicle Cycling In Vivo

212 citations , September 2015 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

This article presents a comprehensive guide for classifying human hair follicle cycle stages in vivo using scalp xenografts on immunocompromised mice, offering valuable resources for researchers in the field.

research 614 Humanized mouse model for hair follicle studies

September 2019 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

This study established a model using nude mice to successfully graft human scalp skin, maintaining hair follicle growth and skin integrity for at least two months, which may aid preclinical research.

research T-Cell Reconstitution after Thymus Xenotransplantation Induces Hair Depigmentation and Loss

7 citations , January 2013 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology”

This study found that thymus transplantation in athymic mice resulted in T-cell-driven hair follicle depigmentation and loss, without multiorgan autoimmune disease, highlighting mechanisms of tissue-specific tolerance.

community Is it possible to transplant mice skin into human body?

in Transplants 47 upvotes 10 months ago

Transplanting mice skin to humans is not feasible due to immune rejection, but some suggest genetic modification or immune suppression could make it possible. Xenograft hair transplants are discouraged.

community Going bald is a genuine health issue.

100 upvotes 4 weeks ago

Bald people have a higher risk of skin cancer, especially on the scalp, and wearing a hat is suggested as a solution. Hair loss treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841 are not mentioned in this conversation.

community Why liposomal finasteride and minoxidil may be better than traditional topical solutions.

in Research/Science 2 upvotes 1 year ago

Liposomal formulations of finasteride and minoxidil may enhance drug delivery to the skin and hair follicles more effectively than traditional solutions, potentially improving treatment outcomes. However, more human clinical trials are needed to confirm these benefits.

community microneedle, any long term users damage?

in Microneedling 35 upvotes 2 years ago

Microneedling is effective for hair growth, especially when combined with finasteride and minoxidil, but concerns exist about potential long-term skin damage. Users report increased collagen and elastin deposition, but the long-term effects on the scalp remain uncertain.

community Using topicals after hair transplant if safe to do so

5 upvotes 4 months ago

After a hair transplant, it's advised to stop using RU58841 and minoxidil to avoid irritation, resuming them 25-30 days post-surgery if the scalp is healed. The user is currently using finasteride, minoxidil, and RU58841, but there are concerns about the safety and efficacy of RU58841 in humans.

learn Fluocinolone

Is Fluocinolone a treatment for hair loss itself or just for calming scalp irritation? Fluocinolone acetonide is a prescription corticosteroid approved for inflammatory skin conditions, not for hair loss; no published human trial has measured hair regrowth with it, so at most it may help indirectly by calming an inflamed scalp.

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.
