5 / 1000+ resultsresearch miR-3606-3p alleviates skin fibrosis by integratively suppressing the integrin/FAK, p-AKT/p-ERK, and TGF-β signaling cascades
In this study, researchers found that miR-3606-3p is significantly downregulated in skin fibrosis and correlates with disease severity, with its ability to inhibit key signaling pathways suggesting potential therapeutic applications for conditions like systemic sclerosis and keloids.
research ACKR2 limits skin fibrosis and hair loss through IFN‐β
This study found that ACKR2 plays a crucial role in reducing inflammatory skin fibrosis and promoting inflammation resolution through IFN‐β production, limiting tissue scarring.
research [Expressions and effects of autophagy-related genes in bleomycin-induced skin fibrosis of mice].
This study found that autophagy-related gene expressions in bleomycin-induced mouse skin fibrosis initially increased and then decreased, implying autophagy activation may potentially reverse skin fibrosis.
research Radiotherapy-Induced Skin Fibrosis: Pathophysiology, Emerging Therapeutics, and the Role of Dermatology
This source discusses how radiotherapy-induced skin fibrosis, a chronic side effect affecting cancer survivors' quality of life, is driven by ongoing inflammation and fibroblast activity, and emphasizes the need for comprehensive dermatologic management and better diagnostic tools.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Has anyone tried Matrixyl 3000 topically for hair growth?
Matrixyl 3000 is discussed as a potential topical treatment for hair growth, but concerns are raised about excess collagen production being a consequence of hair loss. The conversation suggests that androgen-induced miniaturization leads to hair follicle death and skin fibrosis.
community Is it normal for scalp texture and appearance to change where hair is lost?
The conversation discusses changes in scalp texture and appearance in areas of hair loss, with concerns about the suitability of these areas for hair transplants.

community Reducing Fibrosis in Hair Loss: Topical Pirfenidone
Topical pirfenidone is highlighted as an effective anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic treatment for hair loss, particularly in addressing perifollicular fibrosis, which may enhance the effectiveness of standard treatments like finasteride and minoxidil. The user also uses calcipotriol, MCT oil, ciclopirox shampoo, and benzoyl peroxide shampoo as part of their regimen.
community Fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution
A user has been experiencing hair loss for 4 years, with treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, and various supplements proving ineffective. They were diagnosed with fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution, a condition that may require a combination of anti-inflammatory and hair growth treatments.

4 / 33 results- Can melatonin cause side effects on the skin or hair? No study links melatonin to hair loss; reports are anecdotal. Some users report scalp dryness or irritation from topical products, and a safety review lists mainly mild side effects such as sleepiness and headache.
- Can follistatin be applied to the skin, and does any form of it treat hair loss? No study shows that follistatin applied to the skin works, and no form of follistatin is an approved or proven hair-loss treatment. Follistatin injections, "research peptides" and gene therapies sold outside regulated trials are unapproved and of unknown safety.
- Does scalp micropigmentation work on all skin tones and hair colors? Providers say SMP pigment can be matched to many skin tones and hair colors; claims that it works on all of them are marketing.
- 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.
