research Hairless Plays a Role in Formation of Inner Root Sheath via Regulation of Dlx3 Gene

17 citations , March 2012 in “Journal of biological chemistry/The Journal of biological chemistry”

In this study, researchers found that overexpression of the hairless protein in Hr mutant mice disrupts inner root sheath formation by downregulating Dlx3 and associated keratins in hair follicle development.

research Vesicle Formation and Follicular Root Sheath Separation in Mice Homozygous for Deleterious Alleles at the Balding (bal) Locus

38 citations , September 1997 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology”

This study identified histologic lesions and a defect in adhesion molecules causing hair loss in mice with the bal mutation, linked to a mutation in the desmoglein 3 gene.

research Formation of surface membranes in developing mammalian hair fibres

30 citations , January 1994 in “Micron”

This study found that the formation of the fibre cuticle surface in Merino sheep is similar to the epidermal stratum corneum process and not from a modified plasma membrane as previously thought.

research Woolly Antics between the Sheaths

1 citations , February 2009 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

This review discusses insights into the role of lipase H in controlling hair form and texture, emphasizing genetic mutations linked to autosomal recessive woolly hair/hypotrichosis, and reports no new experimental results.

research ILK modulates epithelial polarity and matrix formation in hair follicles

22 citations , December 2013 in “Molecular biology of the cell”

This study found that ILK deficiency disrupts hair follicle development by impairing cell polarity and laminin-511 assembly, but these defects can be partially reversed with exogenous laminin-511.

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 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 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.
