Did you mean Nerve Fibers?

Glossary Nerve Fibers

long extensions of neurons transmitting electrical impulses

Nerve fibers, also known as nerve filaments or neural fibers, are the long, thread-like extensions of nerve cells (neurons) that transmit electrical impulses throughout the body. These fibers are essential for communication within the nervous system, enabling sensations, movements, and various bodily functions by carrying signals between the brain, spinal cord, and other parts of the body.

research A simple immunofluorescence technique for simultaneous visualization of mast cells and nerve fibers reveals selectivity and hair cycle - dependent changes in mast cell - nerve fiber contacts in murine skin

109 citations , April 1997 in “Archives of Dermatological Research”

The researchers reported that mast cell and nerve fiber interactions in mouse skin are highly selective for nerve fiber types and vary depending on the hair cycle phase.

research Fibre optic confocal imaging (FOCI) of keratinocytes, blood vessels and nerves in hairless mouse skin in vivo

36 citations , February 1998 in “Journal of Anatomy”

This study used fibre optic confocal imaging to visualize subsurface structures in live mouse skin, revealing cellular details and blood vessel networks that dynamic events could be studied in vivo.

research Changes in intraepidermal nerve fiber and Langerhans cell densities in the plantar skin of rats after mercuric chloride exposure

6 citations , November 2017 in “Journal of the Peripheral Nervous System”

This study found that mercury chloride administration in rats led to decreased intraepidermal nerve fibers and increased Langerhans cells, suggesting small nerve fiber damage after mercury poisoning.

research 509 Using the human iPSCs-derived sensory neurons re-innervated skin ex vivo model to investigate mast cell-nerve fiber cross-talk in solar elastosis

November 2024 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

In this study, UVB irradiation increased mast cell degranulation only when skin was innervated, suggesting that the interaction between mast cells and nerve fibres may exacerbate solar elastosis by promoting dysfunctional dermal elastic fiber accumulation, but further research is needed for confirmation.

research Characteristic intraepidermal nerve fibre endings of the intervibrissal fur in the mystacial pad of the rat: morphological details revealed by intravital methylene blue staining and the zinc iodide-osmium tetroxide technique

5 citations , July 1999 in “Journal of Anatomy”

This study found that methylene blue staining may reveal anatomical details of intraepidermal nerve fibre endings in the rat mystacial pad with greater clarity than the zinc iodide-osmium tetroxide technique.

community I Guess balding is cured so should we close subreddit and move to hairstyling photos 😁 Botox-like nerve blocking reveals potential way to fully regenerate skin without scarring

6 months ago

Baldness is difficult to cure because current treatments like finasteride, dutasteride, and minoxidil only prevent hair shedding, and new developments are mostly ineffective. Botox shows potential in aiding skin regeneration and hair growth, but maintenance therapy with treatments like dutasteride and minoxidil may still be necessary.

in Basic Questions 187 upvotes 4 months ago

The user experienced long-term pain after an FUE hair transplant and is considering Kenacort injections for relief. They also reported brain fog, dizziness, and anxiety after stopping minoxidil and finasteride, and are currently using PRP, microneedling, and rosemary oil for hair maintenance.

community How bad is the shed phase really?

in Chat 6 upvotes 6 months ago

The shed phase from using finasteride and minoxidil can vary, with some experiencing noticeable hair loss and others having minimal shedding. Despite initial shedding, many users report eventual hair regrowth and improvement, making the treatment worthwhile.

community What I hate about being told to shave my head

in Chat 258 upvotes 1 year ago

Hair loss challenges and identity issues, with opinions on using finasteride, minoxidil, and hair transplants versus accepting baldness. Some find shaving more work, while others stress personal choice and self-perception.
