research Effect of Dihydrotestosterone on the Upregulation of Inflammatory Cytokines in Cultured Sebocytes
Dihydrotestosterone increases certain inflammatory signals in skin cells, potentially contributing to acne.
research The Impact of Obesity on the Folliculosebaceous Unit
Obesity may worsen hair loss in men and increase hirsutism in overweight or obese individuals, with weight loss recommended for treatment.
research Open Questions in Hidradenitis Suppurativa Research: A Hair Biologist's Perspective
The conclusion suggests that early signs of hidradenitis suppurativa may start in the hair follicle, with genetic and immune factors playing a role, highlighting the need for more research on the hair follicle's immune system.
research Stem Cell Plasticity Enables Hair Regeneration Following Lgr5+ Cell Loss
Hair can regrow after certain stem cells are lost because other stem cells can take over their role.
research Cardiac and Brainstem Neuroinflammatory Pathways Account for Androgenic Incitement of Cardiovascular and Autonomic Manifestations in Endotoxic Male Rats
Testosterone plays a big role in heart and nervous system damage caused by inflammation in male rats, suggesting that blocking testosterone production could help manage this condition.

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 Is it ok to take Xeljanz (A jak inhibitor) while taking finasteride?
The conversation is about whether it is safe to take Xeljanz, a JAK inhibitor, while also taking finasteride for hair loss. The concern is that Xeljanz weakens the immune system, which could be risky.
community New Research- Creatine Increasing Scalp DHT Without Corresponding Serum DHT Increase
Creatine may increase scalp DHT without affecting serum DHT, potentially speeding up male pattern baldness (MPB) for those genetically prone. Treatments mentioned include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
community Increased Coffee intake resulted in massive shed
Increased coffee intake might be linked to hair shedding, but the cause is unclear. The user is on finasteride and has increased water intake, possibly affecting electrolyte balance.
community Verteporfin and Microneedling
Clinical studies by Dr. Barghouthi and Dr. Bloxham indicate that Verteporfin, when used with FUE and FUT hair transplantation methods, shows promise in hair follicle regeneration and minimal scarring due to its ability to inhibit Yes-associated protein (YAP). Microneedling at depths of 3-3.5mm, combined with Verteporfin, could potentially reactivate dormant follicles, although the optimal dosage and application method are still under investigation. Concerns remain about the DHT sensitivity of regenerated follicles, highlighting the need for further research to optimize trauma levels and Verteporfin concentrations to achieve effective and scar-free hair regeneration.
