5 / 1000+ resultsresearch BMP2-Mediated PTEN Enhancement Promotes Differentiation of Hair Follicle Stem Cells by Inducing Autophagy
BMP2 helps hair follicle stem cells become specialized by increasing PTEN, which causes autophagy.
research The G-Protein Coupled Receptor Kinase 2 (GRK2) Orchestrates Hair Follicle Homeostasis
GRK2 is essential for healthy hair follicle function, and its absence can lead to hair loss and cysts.
research Stress-Sensing in the Human Greying Hair Follicle: Ataxia Telangiectasia Mutated (ATM) Depletion in Hair Bulb Melanocytes in Canities-Prone Scalp
Hair greying is linked to reduced ATM protein in hair cells, which protects against stress and damage.

5 / 32 resultscommunity 30-Min Dermatology Visit – Best Questions to Ask About Balding? ( 175$ )
The conversation discusses hair loss treatments, focusing on finasteride, minoxidil, and other options like PRP and ketoconazole. It highlights the importance of asking specific questions during a dermatology visit to determine the cause of hair loss and appropriate treatments.
community Minoxidil Response Bottlenecks: Why Sulfation and Transport Matter (And Where Tretinoin Fits In)
Minoxidil's effectiveness is limited by the need for sulfation and proper transport to hair follicles, with tretinoin potentially enhancing its effects by promoting enzyme activity and keratinocyte differentiation. Tretinoin may improve minoxidil's response by boosting the expression of necessary enzymes and transporters.
community Painkillers May Block Minoxidil
Painkillers like Aspirin may reduce Minoxidil's effectiveness by inhibiting the enzyme PGHS-1, which is crucial for hair growth. Using NSAIDs that inhibit COX-2 or combining Minoxidil with PGF2/E2 analogues or retinoids may enhance its efficacy.
community Being Safe on Oral Minoxidil: tl;dr on the literature.
Oral minoxidil is effective for hair loss but can cause cardiovascular side effects, such as pericardial effusion, especially in those with genetic predispositions. Starting with low doses and monitoring cardiovascular health are advised to reduce risks.
community HairClone developing cell replacement treatments for Hair Loss
HairClone is developing cell replacement treatments to rejuvenate and generate hair follicles, and has launched a crowdfunding campaign. A user expressed skepticism about the need for crowdfunding.
