research Deciphering the pathogenesis of central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia

September 2019

This study found that mutations in the PADI3 gene, which is important for hair shaft formation, may contribute to central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia among patients.

research 284 Deciphering the pathogenesis of central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia

September 2019 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

CCCA in women of African ancestry may be caused by PADI3 gene mutations and intense hair grooming.

research The Pathogenesis of Primary Cicatricial Alopecias

150 citations , October 2010 in “The American Journal of Pathology”

This review discusses the pathogenesis and challenges in treating primary cicatricial alopecia, highlighting the need to understand immune protection collapse in hair follicle stem cells; it reports no new clinical results.

research 712 Using scanning electron microscopy to elucidate the role of hair shaft malformation in the pathogenesis of Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia

June 2020 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

Hair shaft malformation contributes to Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia.

research HAIR FOLLICLE STEM CELLS IN THE PATHOGENESIS OF PRIMARY CICATRICIAL ALOPECIA

March 2015 in “Zagazig University Medical Journal”

The study found that CK15 expression, representing hair follicle stem cell activity, was reduced or absent in scarred primary cicatricial alopecia lesions, suggesting stem cell damage may contribute to the scarring process.

community Quote from Pelage (PP-405) Spokesperson...

122 upvotes 11 months ago

Pelage is developing a topical hair follicle stem cell therapy, PP405, for non-scarring alopecias like androgenetic alopecia, with Phase III trials planned and a potential market launch by 2027. The treatment may not require continuous use after initial regrowth.

community You will lose hair if your prostaglandins aren't in balance

56 upvotes 1 year ago

Prostaglandin balance affects hair loss, particularly in conditions like Lichen Planopilaris, where an imbalance can lead to hair follicle damage. Treatments mentioned include prostaglandin analogs and Pioglitazone HCL, with a focus on maintaining prostaglandin equilibrium for potential hair regrowth.

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 Dutasteride Isn't Working? Get a Scalp Biopsy NOW

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 19 upvotes 1 year ago

Dutasteride may not be effective for everyone due to underlying issues, suggesting scalp biopsies for further diagnosis. Users discuss using higher doses of dutasteride, topical treatments, minoxidil, and pyrilutamide for hair loss management.

community My Theory Of Androgenic Alopecia

16 upvotes 10 months ago

Hair loss is linked to cellular physiology and the IGF-1 to TGF-B1 ratio, not just androgen sensitivity. The theory lacks evidence, while finasteride and minoxidil are effective treatments.

learn Alopecia Areata

autoimmune disorder causing patchy hair loss

learn GHK-Cu

Heard alopecia areata leaves scar-like spots? Some peptides are helping those areas regrow hair. Alopecia areata patches usually still have living follicles. Peptides are being studied as a possible add-on, but the evidence is small and early. See a dermatologist for treatment.

learn Salicylic acid

What makes alopecia areata different from other types of hair loss, and can topical Salicylic acid treatments help regrow the affected areas? Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition, and salicylic acid does not promote hair regrowth.

learn Centella

Got small bald circles with no warning? Centella creams might calm the area and kickstart new growth. There is no published human trial of Centella asiatica for alopecia areata or any other hair loss; the only hair-related studies are cell-culture work. Community users describe Centella creams as soothing for an irritated scalp, not as regrowth treatments, and a new bald patch needs a doctor's diagnosis first.
