research Maintaining the Folliculogenicity of Adult Cultured Epidermal Cells
The research shows a potential way to regenerate hair using adult cells that have been grown and guided to produce new hair fibers.
research Increasing Mupirocin Resistance in Pediatric Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus Skin and Soft-Tissue Infections in New York: A Genomic Approach
There's a growing resistance to the antibiotic mupirocin in children's skin infections caused by MRSA in New York.
research Multipotent Adult Progenitor Cells Grown Under Xenobiotic-Free Conditions Support Vascularization During Wound Healing
Xenobiotic-free progenitor cells improve wound healing and blood vessel formation.
research In Vitro Mesenchymal–Epithelial Interaction Facilitates De Novo Hair Follicle Formation
Adult skin cells can be used to create new hair in a lab.

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.
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 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 ghk-cu is potent 5-ar inhibitor?
GHK-Cu is a potent inhibitor of the type 1 5-alpha reductase enzyme in hair follicles, which may reduce hair loss without the side effects associated with type 2 5-alpha reductase inhibitors. The user previously experienced side effects with 5-alpha reductase inhibitors and is considering GHK-Cu as an alternative.
community Optimal topical (leave in, not shampoo) caffeine concentration. Contradictions across studies.
One study suggests a 0.2% caffeine concentration is nearly as effective as 5% minoxidil for hair loss, while other findings indicate that concentrations between 0.001% and 0.005% are more effective, with 0.001% being the most effective. There is no clear consensus on the optimal caffeine concentration for hair loss treatment.
