5 / 1000+ resultsresearch Retinoic acid exerts sexually dimorphic effects on muscle energy metabolism and function
This study observed sexually dimorphic effects of reduced Rdh10 on energy metabolism and muscle function in mice, with males experiencing decreased endurance and females showing increased endurance on a high-fat diet.
research Effects of Acute UVB on Retinoid Metabolism
In this study using SKH-1 mice, researchers observed that acute UVB exposure increased expression of retinoid metabolism proteins and decreased retinol storage enzyme levels, suggesting enhanced retinoic acid synthesis in the epidermis.
research Hair Follicle Stem Cells Maintain the Differentiation Refractory Niche for Co-Occupant Melanocyte Stem Cells by Regulating Retinoid Metabolic Process
This study reports that in mice, retinoic acid mediates communication between hair follicle and melanocyte stem cells by influencing differentiation in their shared niche during hair regeneration.
research Vitamin A Metabolism During Refractory Telogen
This study suggests that retinoic acid synthesis and signaling may play a role in maintaining refractory telogen, potentially inhibiting the hair cycle in mice fed varying levels of vitamin A.
research TTNPB Promotes Human Pluripotent Stem Cell‐to‐Neural Stem Cell Transition via Modulation of Chromatin Accessibility and the S‐(5′‐adenosyl)‐L‐homocysteine/Choline Metabolic Network
This study found that the combination of TTNPB and CHIR99021 enhanced the derivation of highly advanced neural stem cells from human pluripotent stem cells, with improved chromatin accessibility and neuroectodermal gene expression, and these cells successfully engrafted in rat hippocampi to ameliorate depression-like symptoms.

5 / 125 resultscommunity Minoxidil works only with Retinoic acid
Minoxidil is more effective when combined with retinoic acid, such as tretinoin or tazarotene, enhancing hair growth. Some users experience significant regrowth, while others see minimal effects or side effects.
community Almost 7 months on topical fin/min- not seeing much benefit
A 39-year-old user has been using topical 0.3% finasteride with 6% minoxidil for almost 7 months without seeing significant improvement in hair regrowth. They are considering switching to a gel with higher minoxidil concentration, adding retinoic acid, or trying topical dutasteride, while others suggest returning to 5% minoxidil foam, adding oral finasteride, or exploring microneedling and lifestyle changes.
community 22M After 3 years of minox and almost 2 on fin, I've got a NW1 and my ideal hair... but my face is fucked/aged from minoxidil and I want to stop it
A user reported significant facial aging after using minoxidil for hair loss, despite a good skincare routine and healthy lifestyle. They plan to switch to dutasteride and possibly stop minoxidil.
community DHT Itch and Oily Scalp Explained (and how to fix it)
Malassezia overgrowth can worsen oily scalp and inflammation, contributing to hair loss. Treatments include antifungal shampoos, C6/C8 MCT oil, low-dose isotretinoin, finasteride, and dutasteride.
community 64 days of Minoxidil (with retinal serum), 40 days of Finasteride and 4 weeks of microneedling every week (stopped now)
The user experienced rapid hair growth using Minoxidil, Finasteride, and microneedling, with some initial skin irritation from a retinal serum. They stopped microneedling due to limited results but may continue due to positive anecdotal evidence.
