research Heparan Sulfate Regulates Hair Follicle and Sebaceous Gland Morphogenesis and Homeostasis

42 citations , July 2014 in “Journal of biological chemistry/The Journal of biological chemistry”

This study suggests that heparan sulfate is crucial for regulating hair follicle formation, cycling, and gland morphogenesis, with its ablation leading to continuous hair growth and increased gland activity in mice.

research Hedgehog Signaling, Keratin 6 Induction, and Sebaceous Gland Morphogenesis

33 citations , August 2008 in “American Journal Of Pathology”

This study found that K6a expression in mouse sebaceous gland ducts correlates with Hedgehog signaling, suggesting a role in duct fate.

research Genetically modified laboratory mice with sebaceous glands abnormalities

22 citations , July 2016 in “Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences”

Genetic changes in mice help understand skin and hair disorders, aiding treatment development for acne and hair loss.

research 1373 Specific in vivo ablation of Lrig1-positive follicular stem cells results in sebaceous gland loss in mice

April 2018 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology”

The authors concluded that Lrig1-positive stem cells are essential for sebaceous gland formation in mice, as their ablation led to temporary sebaceous gland disappearance without affecting hair growth.

research Coordinated inhibition of SOX9 and cell cycle progression by microRNA-200 restricts sebaceous gland fate specification

1 citations , January 2026

This study reveals that the microRNA-200 family, highly enriched in hair matrix progenitors, restricts sebaceous gland development by inhibiting the SOX9-dependent lipogenic program, highlighting its specific role in epithelial plasticity within hair follicles.

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 possible treatment of AGA and change in sebaceous gland condition and oil production using sulfur soap

in Research/Science 4 upvotes 11 months ago

Sulfur soap may help with hair thickening and reducing scalp inflammation, but it can cause dryness. Nizoral, containing ketoconazole, is noted for its potential to reduce seborrheic dermatitis but may also cause scalp dryness and hair loss.

community Hot weather causing hair shedding?

3 upvotes 9 months ago

Hot weather can increase hair shedding, possibly due to dehydration and active sebaceous glands. Using shampoos with salicylic acid or zinc pyrithione may help; daily anti-inflammatory use is not recommended.

community Androgenetic alopecia is a skin disease: DHT-mediated skin disorders

63 upvotes 2 years ago

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.

community No fearmongering /just facts on yesterday someone posting on eye issues

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 33 upvotes 1 year ago

Finasteride and dutasteride may not significantly impact meibomian gland function since these glands do not rely on DHT. Some users report dry eyes and other side effects from finasteride, but these may be influenced by other factors or medications.
