This study identified a novel splice-site variant of the LAMB3 gene that may cause junctional epidermolysis bullosa, suggesting gene sequencing is essential for accurate diagnosis.
research Twenty nail onychomadesis: An unusual finding in Cronkhite–Canada syndrome
This study reports previously unreported nail features in Cronkhite-Canada syndrome, specifically recurrent onychomadesis of all 20 nails linked to systemic illness.
research In pemphigus, cell detachment, but not autoantibody binding, induces cell-wide, long-lasting transcriptomic and proteomic changes
This study found that in a human skin organ culture model of pemphigus vulgaris, split formation led to significant upregulation of IFNγ and TNFα-related genes, indicating secondary effects from mechanical stress, not direct changes from autoantibodies.
research Corneodesmosin gene ablation induces lethal skin-barrier disruption and hair-follicle degeneration related to desmosome dysfunction
The researchers found that corneodesmosin is crucial for maintaining skin barrier integrity and hair follicle architecture in mice, with its deletion leading to severe skin and hair abnormalities.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Everything you ever wanted to know about Pelage Pharma's PP405: how it works and what to expect
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 Blocking dht should bring it back. So why does fin mostly just hold the line?
Finasteride mainly prevents further hair loss by blocking DHT but doesn't reverse existing damage, while minoxidil can promote regrowth by waking dormant follicles. Ketoconazole helps with inflammation, but none of these treatments can reverse fibrosis or structural changes around hair follicles.
community Skin Aging and Minox
The conversation is about concerns over skin aging from using minoxidil for hair loss, with the user planning to use a minimal amount to avoid side effects. Other users suggest that overuse may cause temporary skin dryness but not actual aging, and emphasize proper application.
community Scalp Skin Barrier Health and Hair Follicle Cycling: A Potential Overlooked Connection
The conversation discusses the importance of scalp skin barrier health in hair follicle cycling, suggesting treatments like ceramides or niacinamide to support hair growth. It also mentions the use of finasteride for hair loss.
community Minoxidil Skin Delivery from Nanoemulsion Formulations Containing Eucalyptol or Oleic Acid: Enhanced Diffusivity and Follicular Targeting
Minoxidil can be effectively delivered through nanoemulsions containing eucalyptol or oleic acid, enhancing its diffusivity and targeting hair follicles. This contradicts the advice against mixing minoxidil with oils in topical formulations.

4 / 801 results- Can melatonin cause side effects on the skin or hair? Melatonin may cause hair loss or thinning in some users, but evidence is limited.
- Does scalp micropigmentation work on all skin tones and hair colors? Scalp micropigmentation can be customized for various skin tones and hair colors.
- Is scalp micropigmentation suitable for people with sensitive skin? Providers say scalp micropigmentation suits most skin types and describe patch tests, hypoallergenic pigments and a skin consultation for sensitive skin. These are provider claims rather than independent safety evidence, and pigment reactions remain a risk.
- How does retinol improve scalp health and prepare the skin for other hair growth treatments? Retinol improves scalp health by promoting cellular turnover and reducing congestion.
- Does hyaluronic acid really hydrate the scalp, or is it mainly for skin care? Hyaluronic acid can hydrate the scalp, but its effectiveness may vary.
