research Methods in hair research: how to objectively distinguish between anagen and catagen in human hair follicle organ culture

132 citations , September 2009 in “Experimental Dermatology”

This study introduced a new classification system for distinguishing between anagen VI and early catagen stages in human hair follicle organ culture, using it to confirm eflornithine's ability to induce premature catagen.

research Identification of human hair follicle antigens targeted in the presumptive autoimmune hair follicle disorder alopecia areata and their potential functional relevance in vitro : methods development for isolation and identification of alopecia areata-relevant human hair follicle antigens using a proteomics approach and their functional assessment using an ex vivo hair follicle organ culture model

January 2008 in “Bradford Scholars (University of Bradford)”

This study supports that an antibody response against anagen-specific hair follicle antigens, including trichohyalin and keratin 16, may play a role in alopecia areata.

Evaluating Hair Growth Promoting Effects of Candidate Substances: A Review of Research Methods

research Evaluating hair growth promoting effects of candidate substance: A review of research methods

28 citations , March 2019 in “Journal of Dermatological Science”

This review discusses methods for evaluating hair growth-promoting effects of candidate substances for androgenetic alopecia, focusing on cell assays, organ cultures, and animal models, and reports no new results.

research Organ Culture of Developing Mouse Skin and Its Application for Molecular Mechanistic Studies of Morphogenesis

4 citations , October 2004 in “Humana Press eBooks”

This chapter reports an organ culture method that permits mouse embryonic skin tissues to develop similarly to in vivo conditions, revealing that epidermal growth factor inhibits hair follicle formation.

research 1350 Human scalp skin as an abundant and accessible source for eccrine sweat gland isolation and organ culture

April 2018 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology”

This study describes a new method for isolating intact human eccrine glands from scalp follicular units, potentially advancing research on sweat gland physiology.

community Weed/THC effects on hair growth/hair loss, and vitality of organ-culture human follicle studies (research review)

4 upvotes 1 year ago

Cannabis and THC may have mixed effects on hair, with some studies suggesting potential negative impacts on hair growth in isolated hair follicles, but these results are hard to apply to living humans. Treatments like minoxidil and finasteride are commonly used for hair loss, and the effects of cannabis might be neutral or vary based on individual factors.

community Riken develops new method for culturing hair follicles

41 upvotes 8 years ago

A new stem cell method for culturing hair follicles is being developed as an alternative to Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841. There are concerns about its cost and accessibility despite plans for commercialization.

community Minoxidil is NOT an Anti-androgen. No.

in Research/Science 43 upvotes 9 months ago

Minoxidil is not an anti-androgen; it is a growth stimulator and does not lower DHT like finasteride or dutasteride. Minoxidil can cause side effects like facial swelling and anxiety due to its vasodilator properties.

community Why isn’t anyone talking about this?

29 upvotes 2 years ago

Hair cloning is being developed by companies like Kangstem Biotech and Stemson, with potential availability in a few years. Initial costs are expected to be high, but prices may decrease over time.

community The new growth in hair loss research: With increasing evidence of its impact on mental health, scientists are pushing forward with breakthroughs on balding. Later this year, scientists will launch one of the first ever clinical trials with hair follicles grown entirely from stem cells.

324 upvotes 7 years ago

Hair loss impacts mental health, with treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, and stem cell transplants discussed. There is hope for future breakthroughs, but current treatments are limited, and awareness is lacking.
