research PRC1 Fine-Tunes Gene Repression and Activation to Safeguard Skin Epithelium Development and Stem Cell Specification
PRC1 is essential for proper skin development and stem cell formation by controlling gene activity.
research Lineage Commitment of Dermal Fibroblast Progenitors Is Mediated by Chromatin De-repression
Skin cell types develop when specific genes are turned on by removing certain chemical tags from DNA.
research Polycomb-Mediated Repression and Sonic Hedgehog Signaling Regulate Merkel Cell Specification
Sonic hedgehog signaling is needed for the development of touch-receptor cells in the skin, and the loss of Polycomb repressive complex 2 can lead to more of these cells.
research Paracrine TGF-β Signaling Counterbalances BMP-Mediated Repression in Hair Follicle Stem Cell Activation
TGF-β2 helps activate hair follicle stem cells by counteracting BMP signals.
research MicroRNA-302 Increases Reprogramming Efficiency via Repression of NR2F2
MicroRNA-302 helps improve the conversion of body cells into stem cells by blocking NR2F2.

Vitamin C mixed with shampoo stopped shedding and promoted hair regrowth after 1.5 years. Both the person and their wife experienced significant hair loss reduction with this method.
community Everyone is ignoring that plasma finasteride levels are 100x lower with topical compared to oral.
Topical finasteride results in plasma levels 100 times lower than oral finasteride, potentially reducing systemic side effects. Users report similar efficacy with fewer side effects, suggesting a preference for topical application.
community Progression or regression? One year of oral Fin (1mg daily) x oral Min (2.5mg daily)
The user has been taking oral finasteride (1mg daily) and oral minoxidil (2.5mg daily) for about a year to treat hair loss and is unsure about the progress, considering switching to dutasteride and increasing the minoxidil dose. Photos were shared for comparison, and another user suggested continuing the current treatment unless the condition worsens.
community Dutasteride 1 year regression. Depressing. (With pictures for proof)
A user shared their experience of hair loss progression after one year on dutasteride, expressing disappointment with no improvement and considering other treatments like RU58841. Other users offered mixed responses, some seeing no change, others suggesting the hair loss might have been worse without treatment, and discussing the role of testosterone and DHT in hair loss.
community Tretinoin potentially can make hair loss worse ?
Tretinoin may worsen hair loss by inducing premature hair follicle regression. It can be used with minoxidil to increase absorption but should not be used alone.
