5 / 1000+ resultsresearch Expression of the Wnt signaling pathway and hair follicle development in Rex rabbits of different ages
This study reports that in Rex rabbits, age affects fur quality and hair follicle traits, with the Wnt signaling pathway playing a role in their periodic hair follicle development.
research Distribution of major histocompatibility antigens in normal skin
This study found HLA and beta 2-microglobulin antigens in various skin structures, with specific localization patterns in keratinocytes and hair follicle components, but not in eccrine or apocrine glands.
research Does collapse of immune privilege in the hair-follicle bulge play a role in the pathogenesis of primary cicatricial alopecia?
This study reports that in primary cicatricial alopecias, increased expression of certain immune markers in the hair-follicle bulge suggests a collapse of immune privilege, which may contribute to follicle destruction.
research Major Differences in Expression of Inflammatory Pathways in Skin from Different Body Sites of Healthy Individuals
This study observed significant differences in immune cell infiltration and gene expression across different skin sites, with the back displaying higher tolerance-promoting immune mechanisms, which may enhance epicutaneous immunotherapy outcomes.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Dutasteride SAVES your hair follicles: MAJOR BS on people who say it destroyed their hair permanently.
The conversation discusses the effectiveness of hair loss treatments, specifically finasteride and dutasteride. The conclusion is that dutasteride significantly reduces DHT levels and may be more effective than finasteride for long-term hair retention, with some users reporting personal experiences and side effects.
community Functional hair follicles grown from stem cells: Scientists have created natural-looking hair that grows through the skin using human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), a major scientific achievement that could revolutionize the hair growth industry.
Scientists have grown natural-looking hair from stem cells, potentially revolutionizing hair growth treatments. Concerns include cost, DHT resistance, and the need for future procedures.
community Is this true? It can be a major breakthrough
Deoxyribose sugar gel may stimulate hair regrowth similarly to minoxidil by enhancing blood supply and follicle activity. Human trials are necessary, and current products have mixed results.
community We already know how to permanently fix hair loss. The science is done. The only thing missing is the funding to run one experiment.
A permanent hair loss solution could involve reprogramming hair follicles to resist DHT using mRNA and siRNA. However, high costs, safety concerns, and the pharmaceutical industry's preference for ongoing treatments over one-time cures are major obstacles, with finasteride and minoxidil remaining standard treatments.
community Interesting article links major MPB theories to western diet (and life-style)
Poor diet and lifestyle contribute to male pattern baldness. Treatments like Minoxidil, dietary changes, and lifestyle adjustments may help slow hair loss.
