research Miniaturization of sebaceous glands: A novel histopathological finding in pemphigus vulgaris and pemphigus foliaceus of the scalp

9 citations , June 2017 in “Journal of Cutaneous Pathology”

This study found that follicular acantholysis is a common histopathological feature in pemphigus, with differences in depth between pemphigus vulgaris and pemphigus foliaceus lesions that may aid in diagnosis.

research An updated review of the sebaceous gland and its role in health and diseases Part 2: Pathophysiological clinical disorders of sebaceous glands

7 citations , February 2021 in “Dermatologic Therapy”

This review discusses various pathologies involving sebaceous glands, primarily and secondarily, but reports no new clinical findings.

research 919 Overexpression of cyclooxygenase-2 in the skin of adult transgenic mice leads to sebaceous gland hyperplasia and thinning of hair shafts

April 2019 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

This study found that induced COX-2 expression in adult transgenic mice led to hair follicle miniaturization and enlargement of sebaceous glands, and suggests that targeting the PGD2 pathway might reverse these effects.

research A hypothetical pathogenesis model for androgenic alopecia: clarifying the dihydrotestosterone paradox and rate-limiting recovery factors

30 citations , December 2017 in “Medical Hypotheses”

This review evaluates dihydrotestosterone's role in androgenic alopecia and proposes a model suggesting that chronic scalp tension and inflammation contribute to hair follicle miniaturization, identifying fibrosis, calcification, and tension as treatment targets.

research Morphological and morphometric study of the androgenetic alopecic scalp using two- and three-dimensional analysis comparing regional differences

9 citations , June 2014 in “British Journal of Dermatology”

The study found that balding scalps have more thin hairs and larger oil glands, which might contribute to skin conditions related to hair loss.

community Everything you ever wanted to know about Pelage Pharma's PP405: how it works and what to expect

126 upvotes 3 months ago

PP405 may encourage earlier hair growth and slightly increase visible hair count but does not reverse hair follicle miniaturization in male pattern baldness. It does not address damage to the dermal papilla or broken Wnt signaling.

community In theory, will everyone on setipiprant be able to maintain their hair forever?

4 upvotes 10 years ago

Setipiprant may help with hair maintenance but is not a guaranteed solution for everyone. Other treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, and topical spironolactone are discussed, with varying opinions on their effectiveness.

community Interesting article links major MPB theories to western diet (and life-style)

in Research/Science 58 upvotes 1 year ago

Poor diet and lifestyle contribute to male pattern baldness. Treatments like Minoxidil, dietary changes, and lifestyle adjustments may help slow hair loss.

community My understanding of how androgenetic alopecia works (plus FIN and DUT)

18 upvotes 4 years ago

Androgenetic alopecia is affected by scalp DHT levels, not sensitivity, with treatments like finasteride and dutasteride aiming to optimize these levels. Personalized DHT management is crucial for effective hair growth.

community How many of you guys have taken accutane?

in Chat 8 upvotes 1 year ago

Accutane may accelerate hair loss in genetically predisposed individuals by affecting enzymes related to DHT metabolism. Some users report hair loss after taking Accutane, while others use treatments like finasteride and minoxidil to manage hair loss.
