research Towards Dissecting the Pathogenesis of Retinoid-Induced Hair Loss: All-Trans Retinoic Acid Induces Premature Hair Follicle Regression by Upregulation of Transforming Growth Factor-β2 in the Dermal Papilla
All-trans retinoic acid causes hair loss by increasing TGF-β2 in hair follicle cells.
research Ganoderma Lucidum Extract Attenuates Corticotropin-Releasing Factor-Induced Cellular Senescence in Human Hair Follicular Cells
Ganoderma lucidum extract can potentially reduce stress-induced hair loss by slowing down premature hair aging and removing harmful substances.
research SnapshotDx Quiz: August 2019
The research found that male pattern hair loss is mostly genetic and involves hair thinning due to hormonal effects and changes in gene expression.
research FGF5 Is a Crucial Regulator of Hair Length in Humans
FGF5 gene mutations cause unusually long eyelashes by affecting hair growth regulation.
research A Role for p75 Neurotrophin Receptor in the Control of Apoptosis-Driven Hair Follicle Regression
The p75 neurotrophin receptor is important for hair follicle regression by controlling cell death.

The conversation discusses using tretinoin for hair loss and skincare. Users share experiences, noting tretinoin's effectiveness in combination with minoxidil for hair and its proven benefits for anti-aging skincare.
community Do hair follicles dies or are dormant ?
Hair follicles can be dormant and potentially revived with treatments like finasteride and minoxidil, but irreversible loss occurs if certain structures are destroyed. Early intervention is more effective, and additional methods like microneedling may help.
community DHT/Testosterone levels in scalp Fin VS Dut.
Dutasteride raises scalp testosterone by 99%, which may not be ideal for those sensitive to all androgens. Some argue finasteride's balancing act might be better, while others believe dutasteride is superior for hair regrowth.
community Spironolactone topically with a try ?!
A 30-year-old male is considering using dutasteride and fluridil for hair loss maintenance and is curious about the effectiveness of topical spironolactone, as he cannot take finasteride. He is also planning a hair transplant.
community Weed/THC effects on hair growth/hair loss, and vitality of organ-culture human follicle studies (research review)
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.
