research Rapid formation of multicellular spheroids in double-emulsion droplets with controllable microenvironment

239 citations , December 2013 in “Scientific Reports”

In this study, researchers developed a microfluidics-based method for creating uniform, size-controlled stem cell spheroids that enhance osteogenic differentiation when encapsulated in alginate-RGD microgels.

research Induction of follicle formation and hair growth by vibrissa dermal papillae implanted into rat ear wounds: vibrissa-type fibres are specified

125 citations , August 1992 in “Development”

This study found that implanting isolated adult rat dermal papillae into ear cuts led to the emergence of unusually large vibrissa-type hair follicles, demonstrating their capacity to induce specific hair fiber characteristics.

research Comedone formation: Etiology, clinical presentation, and treatment

103 citations , September 2004 in “Clinics in dermatology”

This article discusses methods to measure comedogenesis in acne through the presence of microcomedones and reports no new clinical results; the authors outline a skin surface biopsy technique using cyanoacrylate gel.

research Sphere Formation Increases the Ability of Cultured Human Dermal Papilla Cells to Induce Hair Follicles from Mouse Epidermal Cells in a Reconstitution Assay

75 citations , August 2011 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

This study found that cultured human dermal papilla cells formed into three-dimensional spheres have an increased ability to induce hair follicles from mouse epidermal cells compared to two-dimensional cultures.

research The Formation of Vellus Hair Follicles from Human Adult Epidermis1

73 citations , July 1956 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

This paper provides evidence supporting the formation of new hair follicles in adult humans, building on findings previously demonstrated in rabbits.

community Minoxidil formulation change has worsened my scalp flaking

2 upvotes 4 months ago

A change in the formulation of Dr. Reddy's Minoxidil, adding benzoic acid, has worsened scalp flaking and caused burning and bad smell. Users are considering switching to other brands or formulations, like Tugain by Cipla, to avoid these issues.

community Novel Formulation To Put An End To Hair Loss Once And For All.

in Research/Science 118 upvotes 10 months ago

A pharmacy student proposed a hair loss treatment using minoxidil, finasteride, clascoterone, and tretinoin, aiming for high effectiveness with minimal side effects. Reactions were mixed, with some questioning its feasibility and others showing interest.

community Formulation for .025 topical solution/ maybe switching- 4 months

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 7 upvotes 1 year ago

A user shared their experience with hair loss treatments, including oral and topical finasteride, minoxidil, and Nutrafol, experiencing side effects like erectile dysfunction and reduced libido. They are considering adjusting their treatment plan and exploring other options like dutasteride, oral minoxidil, or a hair system.

community Topical fin formulation question

in Finasteride 91 upvotes 1 year ago

A user is making a homemade topical finasteride solution by dissolving crushed finasteride tablets in ethanol and PG. They are unsure if the final solution maintains the intended concentration after filtering and are considering adding more ethanol to ensure accuracy.

community Ginsenoside enriched formulation

learn Platelet-Rich Plasma

What is platelet-derived growth factor beta polypeptide (PDGF-BB), and does it stimulate new hair growth? PDGF-BB is a growth factor that signals to dermal papilla cells and promotes blood-vessel formation; mouse studies report it can push follicles into the growth phase, and human evidence comes only indirectly from PRP trials. No PDGF product is approved for hair restoration and there is no published human trial of PDGF-BB on its own.

learn Tofacitinib

How does tofacitinib differ when used orally versus topically in hair loss treatment research? Oral tofacitinib acts on immune signalling throughout the body and has more published regrowth data in alopecia areata (from small studies without placebo groups), alongside an FDA boxed warning; topical tofacitinib aims to act only on the scalp, but the human evidence is a handful of small compounded-formulation studies with no large randomized trial. Neither route is approved for hair loss, and regrowth generally reverses after treatment stops.

learn RU58841

RU58841: Is it safe or does it have strange side effects? (Because no one wants unpleasant surprises) There is no published human safety study of RU58841, and a small 2026 study found it reaches the blood after one scalp application (Okutan et al.). The side effects users describe are self-reported and involve unverified product.

learn Vitamin B5

Can a vitamin B5-rich hair mask rescue your strands when no shampoo seems to work? Panthenol (vitamin B5) in hair masks acts as a moisturiser and can make hair feel softer and less brittle. No controlled trial shows that it treats hair loss or affects hair growth.
