research Deciphering Pathomechanisms in Solar Urticaria
The study found that skin inflammation and immune response pathways are activated in Solar Urticaria patients after UV exposure, unlike in healthy people.
research Hair Follicle Stem Cell Replication Stress Drives IFI16/STING-Dependent Inflammation in Hidradenitis Suppurativa
Stress in hair follicle stem cells causes inflammation in a chronic skin condition through a specific immune response pathway.
research Genome-Wide Association Study of Alopecia Areata in Taiwan: The Conflict Between Individuals and Hair Follicles
Certain genetic variants linked to immune response increase the risk of alopecia areata in Taiwanese people.
research Bioinformatic Analysis of Gene Expression Data Reveals Src Family Protein Tyrosine Kinases as Key Players in Androgenetic Alopecia
Protein tyrosine kinases are key in male pattern baldness, affecting skin structure, hair growth, and immune responses.
research 5-Bromo-2′-Deoxyuridine Induced Effluvium via p53-Mediated CD326-Positive Keratinocyte Apoptosis in C57BL/6 Mice
A chemical called 5-Bromo-2′-deoxyuridine caused rapid hair loss in mice by killing certain skin cells through a specific cell death pathway.

Scalp tension potentially affecting hair loss, and potential treatments for male pattern baldness such as Minoxidil, Finasteride and RU58841. Evidence from a study was discussed which suggests that the cause of MPB lies within the follicle itself and is not dependent on its surrounding environment.
community Opinions on Scalp fibrosis and DHT?
The conversation discusses the theory that scalp fibrosis contributes to male pattern baldness (MPB) by increasing DHT concentration, and mentions treatments like Minoxidil. The user seeks opinions on the theory and the effectiveness of scalp massages.
community New study shows that microneedling is an ineffective hair loss treatment
The effectiveness of microneedling as a hair loss treatment, with evidence from studies and anecdotal accounts from other users. It is suggested that combining microneedling with minoxidil or finasteride may be more effective than using microneedling alone, although some people have had success using only microneedling.
community Got a microscope camera. Here’s the difference between healthy and miniaturized hair
A user who shared progress pictures of their scalp using a microscope camera, demonstrating the difference between healthy and miniaturized hair. Various explanations for the cause of this were discussed, such as DHT build-up in scalp sebum causing an autoimmune response leading to inflammation and eventual hair loss, with some suggesting a do-it-yourself treatment involving adding ascorbic acid powder to shampoo.
community Does Finasteride Sustain Minoxidil-grown Hairs?
The post discusses whether finasteride can maintain hair growth stimulated by minoxidil. The response indicates that finasteride cannot sustain minoxidil-grown hairs.
