research In Vitro Hair Follicle Growth Model for Drug Testing
Researchers developed a new method to test hair growth drugs and found that adult cells are best for hair growth, but the method needs improvement as it didn't create mature hair follicles.
research In Vitro Hair Growth-Promoting Effects of Araliadiol via the p38/PPAR-γ Signaling Pathway in Human Hair Follicle Stem Cells and Dermal Papilla Cells
Araliadiol may promote hair growth like minoxidil without being toxic.
research In Vitro and Ex Vivo Hair Follicle Models to Explore Therapeutic Options for Hair Regeneration
New methods to test hair growth treatments have been developed.
research Enhancement of In Vitro Hair Shaft Elongation in Follicles Stored in Buffers That Prevent Follicle Cell Apoptosis
Storing hair follicles in special buffers with added protective substances can increase hair growth and reduce cell death.
research Enhancement of In Vitro Hair Shaft Elongation in Follicles Stored in Buffers That Prevent Follicle Cell Apoptosis
Storing hair follicles in a special buffer with certain inhibitors can increase hair growth and improve transplant results.

A user humorously questions if they should shave their head due to hair loss, mentioning Ronald Reagan's impressive hair genetics. Replies include jokes and comments about jealousy and distrust towards older individuals with full heads of hair.
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 A concise, easy-to-understand post on Androgenic Alopecia theory and its practical applications
The mechanism of Androgenic Alopecia and practical applications of treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, RU58841, dermarolling, scalp massages, anti-fungals, progesterone, estrogen, PPAR-γ activators, reducing oxidative stress, and scalp exercises. It explains why DHT is important in AA and how other factors might be involved such as hypoxia, increased DKK-1 expression, morphological changes to the scalp, skull growth during childhood/puberty, and blood flow.
community Wtf have we been doing for the last 30 years
Hair loss treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and dutasteride work but have side effects. A permanent cure is still not available due to the complexity of hair loss and limited investment.
community Surprisingly thorough study on He-Shou-Wu/Fo Ti
He Shou Wu (Fo Ti) extract was found to prolong the hair growth phase, inhibit 5-alpha-reductase (like finasteride), reduce androgen receptors, and increase growth factors, potentially outperforming minoxidil in recovering hair follicle size after DHT exposure. Two compounds, emodin and TSG, are identified as responsible for these effects and warrant further investigation.
