research Histopathologic Evaluation of Alopecias

90 citations , June 2006 in “The American Journal of Dermatopathology”

This review outlines the classification, histopathologic presentation, and pathogenetic concepts of scarring and nonscarring alopecias, reporting no new clinical results and emphasizing the need for clinicopathologic correlation.

research Pathologic Diagnosis of Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia on Horizontal Sections

29 citations , September 2014 in “American Journal of Dermatopathology”

This study found that horizontal sections of scalp biopsies in patients with Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia often reveal follicular miniaturization, inflammation, and scarring, which can guide personalized treatment.

research Keratinocyte differentiation in psoriatic scalp: morphology and expression of epithelial keratins

63 citations , July 2006 in “British Journal of Dermatology”

This study found that keratin K17 is induced in the suprabasal layer of psoriatic scalp epidermis during epidermal hyperproliferation, suggesting it is not specific to hair follicles.

research Observations of root hair patterning in soils: Insights from synchrotron-based X-ray computed microtomography

May 2024 in “Plant and Soil”

Among maize plants, this study observed that root hairs tend to grow in air-filled pores at the root-soil interface, but their growth into the soil matrix is limited, posing potential constraints on nutrient uptake, anchorage, and rhizosheath formation.

research Deletion analysis of AGD1 reveals domains crucial for its plasma membrane recruitment and function in root hair polarity

11 citations , June 2017 in “Journal of cell science”

In this study, researchers found that AGD1 is crucial for membrane recruitment during root hair development in Arabidopsis thaliana, with its pleckstrin homology domain essential for targeting specific plasma membrane regions.

community Hair loss research focused on chemistry for decades because we misunderstood the mechanics of growth.

51 upvotes 7 months ago

Hair growth relies on mechanical forces, not just chemicals, with tissue acting like a motor. Minoxidil and finasteride help, but maintaining tissue elasticity and addressing mechanical issues are essential.

community Why we shed on finasteride after getting results

in Chat 23 upvotes 1 year ago

Finasteride can cause initial hair shedding as part of its cycle, but it can also lead to hair regrowth and thickening over time. Users discuss the effectiveness of finasteride alone, with some considering adding minoxidil or switching to dutasteride for better results.

community Occipitalis Muscle Tension Theory

13 upvotes 7 months ago

Scalp tension from the occipitalis muscle is theorized to contribute to hair loss, but most believe DHT and genetics are the main causes. Treatments like finasteride and minoxidil are considered more effective than addressing scalp tension.

community I’m considering stopping finasteride

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 157 upvotes 9 months ago

The user is considering stopping finasteride due to depression, anxiety, and difficulty building muscle, despite its effectiveness in stopping hair loss. Suggestions include reducing the dose, switching to topical solutions, or consulting a doctor for alternatives like dutasteride or RU58841.
