research Novel Drugs Targeting Retinoic Acid Receptors
Newer retinoid drugs are effective for skin conditions but have significant side effects.

research Retinoic Acid-Related Orphan Receptor Alpha Is Involved in the Regulation of the Cytoskeleton of Hair Follicle Stem Cells
RORA affects hair follicle stem cells' structure and movement, potentially helping treat hair loss.

research Retinoic Acid-Related Orphan Receptor Alpha May Regulate the State of Hair Follicle Stem Cells by Upregulating the Expression of BNIP3
RORA may help regulate hair growth by affecting hair follicle stem cells.
research Genetic Dissection of Retinoic Acid Function in Epidermis Physiology
Retinoic acid affects skin and hair health by working with specific receptors, and its absence can lead to hair loss and skin changes.

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.

5 / 127 resultscommunity Tazarotene shows strong standalone hair regrowth potential, not just a Minoxidil enhancer. Backed by VEGF, HF regeneration, and angiogenesis pathways. Here’s why.
Tazarotene shows potential as a standalone treatment for hair regrowth by stimulating new hair follicle formation and promoting angiogenesis, similar to microneedling effects. It can be used topically without minoxidil, but users should start with a low concentration to avoid irritation.

community Minoxidil Response Bottlenecks: Why Sulfation and Transport Matter (And Where Tretinoin Fits In)
Minoxidil's effectiveness is limited by the need for sulfation and proper transport to hair follicles, with tretinoin potentially enhancing its effects by promoting enzyme activity and keratinocyte differentiation. Tretinoin may improve minoxidil's response by boosting the expression of necessary enzymes and transporters.
community 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 DLQ01: A Better "Minoxidil" PGF2a synthetic analogue.
DLQ01, a prostaglandin F2α analog, shows promise for hair growth by directly stimulating PGE2/PGF receptors without needing conversion, and can be combined with minoxidil and retinoids like tretinoin for enhanced effectiveness. Minoxidil's efficacy may be reduced by COX-1 inhibitors, but using prostaglandin analogs like Latanoprost or Bimatoprost can help maintain its effectiveness.
community Androgenetic alopecia is a skin disease: DHT-mediated skin disorders
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) impacts various skin conditions, including Androgenetic alopecia and seborrheic dermatitis, by causing overactivity in sebaceous glands. Topical medications Tacrolimus and Clobetasol can reduce these inflammatory conditions, and treatments like RU58841, Minoxidil, and Finasteride may also be beneficial.
