research Non-Coding Double Stranded RNA Induces Retinoic Acid Synthesis and Retinoid Signaling to Control Regeneration
Non-coding RNA boosts retinoic acid production and signaling, aiding regeneration.

research Non-Coding Double-Stranded RNA Induces Retinoic Acid Synthesis and Retinoid Signaling to Control Regeneration
Double-stranded RNA helps regenerate hair follicles by increasing retinoic acid production and signaling.

research Dietary Vitamin A Regulates Wingless-Related MMTV Integration Site Signaling to Alter the Hair Cycle
Eating vitamin A affects hair growth and health by changing cell signals in mice.

research Temporal-Spatial Activation of Wnt-Signaling Within Type 1 and Type 2 Immunity During Wound Healing
Wnt-signaling is regulated differently in skin cells and immune responses during wound healing.

research Retinoid Metabolism Is Altered in Human and Mouse Cicatricial Alopecia
Altered retinoid metabolism in cicatricial alopecia suggests a balanced vitamin A diet may prevent the condition.

5 / 152 resultscommunity Tretinoin for some men(not all) can cause non-telogen effluvium hair loss
Tretinoin can cause non-telogen hair loss in some men by inducing catagen-like changes in hair follicles and through retinoid toxicity, especially when used with minoxidil. Some users report hair loss even when using retinoids on the face, while others experience benefits when combined with treatments like finasteride and minoxidil.
community 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 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 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.
