research Epithelial expression of the hormone leptin by bovine skin

18 citations , January 2019 in “European journal of histochemistry”

This study found that in bovine skin, leptin and its receptor are expressed in the epidermis and hair follicles, suggesting a role in epidermis growth and hair follicle cycling through paracrine and autocrine mechanisms.

research Expression of transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta 1) and insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II) messenger RNA in the developing subcutaneous tissue (SQ) of the fetal pig.

11 citations , January 1992 in “PubMed”

In this study, the researchers found distinct patterns of TGF-beta 1 and IGF-II expression in pig fetal subcutaneous tissue, suggesting specific regulatory roles in developing adipocytes and muscle tissue.

research Estrogen regulates the expression of retinoic acid synthesis enzymes and binding proteins in mouse skin

3 citations , August 2021 in “Nutrition research”

This study suggests that estrogen regulates vitamin A metabolism in skin tissues in a sex-dependent manner, which may have implications for treating acne, hair loss, and skin immunity.

research The topography of fibrous scaffolds modulates the paracrine function of Ad-MSCs in the regeneration of skin tissues

24 citations , January 2019 in “Biomaterials Science”

This study demonstrated that a bio-3D printed artificial skin scaffold, seeded with adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells, showed promising wound healing properties by enhancing cell recruitment, migration, and gene expression related to tissue regeneration.

research Transgneic Endothelin 3 Regulates Murine Pigment Production and Coat Color

October 2017

This study found that transgenic expression of Endothelin 3 in mice can maintain a dark pigmentation phenotype independently of Mc1r signaling by regulating melanogenic genes.

community Minoxidil Response Bottlenecks: Why Sulfation and Transport Matter (And Where Tretinoin Fits In)

in Research 461 upvotes 1 year ago

Minoxidil's effectiveness is limited by the need for sulfation and proper transport to hair follicles, with tretinoin potentially enhancing its effects by promoting enzyme activity and keratinocyte differentiation. Tretinoin may improve minoxidil's response by boosting the expression of necessary enzymes and transporters.

community What to do if fin is still not working after 2.5 years

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 22 upvotes 1 year ago

The user is experiencing increased hair loss despite using finasteride and oral minoxidil and is hesitant to switch to dutasteride due to side effects and family planning concerns. Alternatives suggested include dutasteride, microneedling, and addressing stress or nutrient deficiencies.

community Does Creatine Really Increase DHT? My Personal Experiment

115 upvotes 1 year ago

Creatine does not increase DHT levels, but some report hair loss when using it, possibly due to other factors. The effects on hair loss vary individually, with no clear connection established.

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 The mechanism of androgenic alopecia

36 upvotes 11 months ago

DHT may inhibit hair growth by affecting mitochondrial function, leading to hair follicle miniaturization. Treatments like minoxidil and PP405 may promote hair growth by altering metabolic pathways, potentially counteracting DHT's effects.
