Hair follicle stem cells prevent melanocyte stem cells from differentiating by controlling retinoic acid levels.

research Transcriptomic Profiling in Silurana Tropicalis Testes Exposed to Finasteride
Finasteride affects frog testes by increasing testosterone, decreasing 5α-DHT, and impacting genes related to reproduction and other functions.

research UTX (KDM6A) Promotes Differentiation Noncatalytically in Somatic Self-Renewing Epithelia
UTX is crucial for skin differentiation and health, especially in females.

research A Systematic Summary of Survival and Death Signaling During the Life of Hair Follicle Stem Cells
The conclusion is that understanding how hair follicle stem cells live or die is important for maintaining healthy tissue and repairing injuries, and could help treat hair loss, but there are still challenges to overcome.

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 Haircafe - TOPICAL minoxidil is an anti aging drug
Topical minoxidil may cause skin aging effects like wrinkles and dark circles, possibly due to its alcohol content, while oral finasteride is reported to make users look younger. Switching to oral minoxidil or using moisturizers might help reduce these skin issues.

community If You Have DUPA, PLEASE READ THIS: Everyone Should Be Scalp Biopsied
Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
community Dutasteride Literally Saves Your Hair
Dutasteride significantly reduces scalp DHT levels and can save hair, though shedding is part of the process. Some users report success with dutasteride, while others struggle despite using it along with finasteride and oral minoxidil.
community UPDATE: The theory that explains everything. Please help me make this big!
Hair loss theory involves 3alpha-hydroxysteroid reductase (3AHD) converting DHT to androstenol. Discussion explores potential treatments and encourages more research.
