Glossary Hair Epithelial Cells

specialized cells forming the outer layer of hair follicles

Hair epithelial cells are specialized cells that make up the outer layer of the hair follicle, which is the structure in the skin that produces hair. These cells play a crucial role in the growth and regeneration of hair by dividing and differentiating to form the various parts of the hair shaft and the surrounding follicle.

research Anagen hair follicle repair: Timely regenerative attempts from plastic extra‐bulge epithelial cells

18 citations , January 2019 in “Experimental Dermatology”

This study suggests that damaged anagen hair follicles have the capability to repair themselves and resume growth by mobilizing extra-bulge epithelial cells, particularly after injuries like chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

research Experimental Modulation of the Differentiated Phenotype of Keratinocytes from Epidermis and Hair Follicle Outer Root Sheath and Matrix Cells

31 citations , December 1991 in “Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences”

This study found that distinct keratin profiles enabled the evaluation of epithelial differentiation in human hair follicles, with mesenchymal cells playing a critical role in epidermoid differentiation of follicular cells.

research Mapping the expression of epithelial hair follicle stem cell‐related transcription factors LHX2 and SOX9 in the human hair follicle

33 citations , March 2015 in “Experimental Dermatology”

community Prolactin the Cause of Hair Loss? ABS-201 the Cure?

29 upvotes 2 months ago

Prolactin may contribute to hair loss, but targeting its receptor won't cure androgenetic alopecia. ABS-201 could be a useful alternative or adjuvant therapy, similar to JAK inhibitors, but not more effective than HMI-115.

community Everything you ever wanted to know about Pelage Pharma's PP405: how it works and what to expect

126 upvotes 3 months ago

PP405 may encourage earlier hair growth and slightly increase visible hair count but does not reverse hair follicle miniaturization in male pattern baldness. It does not address damage to the dermal papilla or broken Wnt signaling.

community Hair and normal skin created from human pluripotent stem cells for the first time

86 upvotes 6 years ago

Human pluripotent stem cells have been used to create hair and skin, potentially offering a new solution for baldness. A user also mentioned starting finasteride but experiencing unexpected hair thinning.

community Adipocyte lipolysis activates epithelial stem cells for hair regeneration through fatty acid metabolic signaling

23 upvotes 10 months ago

Fatty acid metabolic signaling can activate epithelial stem cells for hair regeneration. Oleic and palmitoleic acids showed the best results, but practical application on humans remains uncertain.
