PSENEN gene mutations can cause both Dowling-Degos disease and acne inversa.
research Oxidative Stress Management in the Hair Follicle: Could Targeting NRF2 Counter Age-Related Hair Disorders and Beyond?
Activating NRF2 might help treat hair disorders by improving antioxidant defenses.
research The Basic Science of Hair Biology
Hair disorders are caused by a complex mix of biology, genetics, hormones, and environmental factors, affecting hair growth and leading to conditions like alopecia.
research Methodologies to Evaluate the Hair Follicle-Targeted Drug Delivery Provided by Nanoparticles
Nanoparticle-based drug delivery to hair follicles is more effective when tested under conditions that match skin behavior.
research Confocal Microscopy and Optical Coherence Tomography of Inflammatory Skin Diseases in Hairs and Pilosebaceous Units: A Systematic Review
RCM and OCT are effective for diagnosing and monitoring hair-related skin diseases but lack standardized protocols and need more research.

5 / 364 resultscommunity Peptides that Stop Hair Loss? | In-depth Literature Review Video
Peptides like TB500, KPV, GHK-CU, and BPC-157 are overhyped for hair growth with limited proven effectiveness in humans. Combining peptides with delivery methods like iontophoresis and sonophoresis shows promise, but many claims remain unproven.
community If You Have DUPA, PLEASE READ THIS: Everyone Should Be Scalp Biopsied
Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
community Keratin microspheres - breakthrough
A gel of keratin microspheres promotes hair follicle growth, showing similar effectiveness to minoxidil in mice. The treatment activates hair growth pathways and reduces inflammation, with potential applications in drug delivery for hair-related disorders.
community I started rapidly diffuse thinning at 22. I'm 42 now and have as much hair as I did at 16. AMA
Hair loss treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, ketoconazole, PRP, and microneedling helped maintain hair for 20 years. Research and try evidence-based treatments for best results.
community My Theory Of Androgenic Alopecia
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.
