1 citations , January 1989

This study produced and characterized four new monoclonal antibodies that specifically recognize differentiation antigens in human hair follicle and epidermal structures.

research Premature Desquamation of the Inner Root Sheath in Noninflamed Hair Follicles as a Specific Marker for Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia

6 citations , December 2018 in “The American Journal of Dermatopathology”

This study found that the presence of premature desquamation of the inner root sheath in noninflamed hair follicles is a relatively specific marker for diagnosing central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia.

research A Novel Epithelial Keratin, hK6irs1, is Expressed Differentially in All Layers of the Inner Root Sheath, Including Specialized Huxley Cells (Flügelzellen) of the Human Hair Follicle

86 citations , May 2002 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

This study characterized a new human keratin, hK6irs1, specifically found in the inner root sheath of hair follicles, which suggests its role in the structural integrity and guidance of growing hair shafts.

community Prolactin the Cause of Hair Loss? ABS-201 the Cure?

29 upvotes 2 months ago

Prolactin may contribute to hair loss, but targeting its receptor won't cure androgenetic alopecia. ABS-201 could be a useful alternative or adjuvant therapy, similar to JAK inhibitors, but not more effective than HMI-115.

community Why is minoxidil the “regrowth stimulant” and finasteride “the maintenance”, when official studies show more growth on finasteride ?

in Research/Science 46 upvotes 6 months ago

Finasteride is more effective for long-term hair maintenance by addressing the root cause of hair loss, while minoxidil acts as a growth stimulant with faster visible results. Combining both treatments is optimal, with oral minoxidil often showing better results for some individuals.

community My understanding of how androgenetic alopecia works (plus FIN and DUT)

18 upvotes 4 years ago

Androgenetic alopecia is affected by scalp DHT levels, not sensitivity, with treatments like finasteride and dutasteride aiming to optimize these levels. Personalized DHT management is crucial for effective hair growth.

community Topical Finasteride Doesn't Directly Reduce 5ar Enzyme on Scalp

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 72 upvotes 3 years ago

Topical Finasteride doesn't directly reduce 5ar enzyme on scalp and has the same mechanism as oral, needing to go through the liver. Users debate the accuracy of this information and discuss various studies and experiences.

community From Denial to Acceptance: Hair as Amplifier, Not Foundation – Open to Hair Systems for Freedom

in Hair Systems 9 upvotes 7 months ago

A 24-year-old with early hair loss is managing it with finasteride, minoxidil, and dutasteride, and is considering using a hair system for more styling options while maintaining transparency. They emphasize confidence and self-expression over hair, viewing it as an amplifier rather than a foundation.
