    regulates cell signaling pathways affecting hair follicle development

    Secreted Frizzled-Related Protein 2 (SFRP2) is a protein that plays a role in regulating cell signaling pathways, particularly the Wnt signaling pathway, which is crucial for cell growth, differentiation, and development. In the context of hair biology, SFRP2 can influence hair follicle development and cycling, potentially impacting conditions like alopecia.

      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 Fats on your Head to Stop Hair Loss?

      in Research/Science  140 upvotes 11 months ago
      The conversation discusses the potential of long-chain unsaturated fatty acids, like oleic and linoleic acid, as an additional treatment for hair loss, which may inhibit the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone to DHT and promote hair growth. Users humorously suggest using oils topically and discuss other hair loss treatments, but the main focus is on the science behind fatty acids and their role in hair health.
