research Thyroxine Differentially Modulates the Peripheral Clock: Lessons from the Human Hair Follicle

30 citations , March 2015 in “PLoS ONE”

This study found that thyroxine modulates peripheral molecular clock gene expression in human hair follicles, which may have implications for treating clock-related diseases in patients with thyroid dysfunction.

research Implanted hair follicle stem cells form Schwann cells that support repair of severed peripheral nerves

319 citations , November 2005 in “Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences”

This study suggests that hair follicle stem cells from transgenic mice can improve nerve regeneration and function, highlighting their potential as an autologous source for regenerative medicine.

research The use of keratin biomaterials derived from human hair for the promotion of rapid regeneration of peripheral nerves

309 citations , October 2007 in “Biomaterials”

This study found that a biomaterial gel made from human hair keratins facilitated nerve regeneration in an animal model, potentially matching the effectiveness of traditional autografts.

research Human Hair Derived Keratins Mediate Schwann Cell Behavior in vitro and Facilitate Rapid Peripheral Nerve Regeneration in vivo

January 2007 in “The FASEB journal”

In this study, keratin hydrogels derived from human hair were found to significantly enhance nerve regeneration in a mouse model, acting effectively as scaffolds by influencing Schwann cell behavior.

research Experimental study on the compatibility and degradation of human hair keratin bridging for peripheral nerve defects

May 2005 in “Zhonghua chuangshang guke zazhi”

This study found that human hair keratin bridges effectively induced nerve regeneration and demonstrated good biocompatibility and controlled degradation when used in rats with peripheral nerve defects.

community Why dont we research more on body hair

in Chat 32 upvotes 6 months ago

Body hair is more resilient than scalp hair due to different gene expressions and DHT sensitivity. Treatments like minoxidil and finasteride are used for hair loss, but they have varying effects on body and scalp hair.

community Minoxidil hairs not growing to full length

in Minoxidil 22 upvotes 1 year ago

New hair growth from minoxidil and finasteride is not reaching full length, possibly due to slow growth cycles. Users discuss dosing strategies for oral minoxidil to improve efficacy and minimize side effects, with advice against consuming topical minoxidil orally.

community Why hair matters long-term when you are seeking positions of authority?

in Chat 96 upvotes 2 months ago

Hair is perceived as important for authority and attractiveness, with treatments like minoxidil and finasteride being used to maintain it. However, confidence and physical fitness are also crucial for success, and baldness doesn't necessarily hinder professional achievements.

community Losing my hair since 18, feel like a monster

in Chat 36 upvotes 6 months ago

A 21-year-old is experiencing severe hair loss despite using finasteride and minoxidil, and plans to try dutasteride. Others share similar struggles and suggest various treatments like RU58841, spironolactone, and hair systems, while emphasizing the emotional impact of hair loss.

community Difference between my hair wet and dry literally an hour apart

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 757 upvotes 1 year ago

The conversation is about hair loss treatments, focusing on minoxidil and finasteride, with suggestions for microneedling and dermarolling to improve hair thickness. The original poster has used minoxidil for four years and finasteride for over a year but is exploring additional options for better results.
