research Hair Follicle-Derived Smooth Muscle Cells and Small Intestinal Submucosa for Engineering Mechanically Robust and Vasoreactive Vascular Media

50 citations , November 2010 in “Tissue Engineering Part A”

This study found that combining hair follicle-derived smooth muscle cells with a natural biomaterial created vascular constructs with mechanical and functional properties similar to native arteries, suggesting potential for arterial implantation.

Long-Term Oral Administration of 5α-Reductase Inhibitor Attenuates Erectile Function by Inhibiting Autophagy and Promoting Apoptosis of Smooth Muscle Cells in Corpus Cavernosum of Aged Rats

research Long-term Oral Administration of 5α-reductase Inhibitor Attenuates Erectile Function by Inhibiting Autophagy and Promoting Apoptosis of Smooth Muscle Cells in Corpus Cavernosum of Aged Rats

34 citations , September 2013 in “Urology”

Long-term use of a certain medication can worsen erectile function in aged rats by damaging penile muscle cells.

research Human hair follicle stem cell differentiation into contractile smooth muscle cells is induced by transforming growth factor-β1 and platelet-derived growth factor BB

19 citations , September 2013 in “Molecular Medicine Reports”

In this study, researchers developed a method to efficiently derive contractile smooth muscle cells from human hair follicle stem cells using TGF-β1 and PDGF-BB, which may advance vascular tissue engineering.

research Changes in the Expression of Smooth Muscle Cell–Related Genes in Human Dermal Sheath Cup Cells Associated with the Treatment Outcome of Autologous Cell–Based Therapy for Male and Female Pattern Hair Loss

2 citations , June 2022 in “International Journal of Molecular Sciences”

This study found variable outcomes in hair loss treatment with autologous cell-based therapy using DSC cells, with certain gene markers showing inconsistent correlations with treatment efficacy.

research Multiple congenital smooth muscle hamartoma: A case report

September 2024 in “Dermatologica Sinica”

This article describes a 10-month-old female with congenital smooth muscle hamartoma, highlighting the importance of differential diagnosis in congenital skin lesions due to potential malignancy risks.

community Theoretical Solution to 5AR inhibition driven hard flaccid

1 upvotes 3 weeks ago

The user experienced a rare side effect, "hard flaccid," from finasteride and explored a solution involving Guanfacine and Doxazosin to manage norepinephrine levels and smooth muscle spasms. They suggest this protocol, along with reverse kegel exercises, may help others with similar symptoms.

community Finasteride , creatine and muscle growth

28 upvotes 1 year ago

Finasteride does not significantly affect muscle gains and can slightly increase testosterone levels. Creatine is generally considered safe to use with finasteride, though some believe it may increase DHT levels, potentially affecting hair loss.

community I Guess balding is cured so should we close subreddit and move to hairstyling photos 😁 Botox-like nerve blocking reveals potential way to fully regenerate skin without scarring

5 months ago

Baldness is difficult to cure because current treatments like finasteride, dutasteride, and minoxidil only prevent hair shedding, and new developments are mostly ineffective. Botox shows potential in aiding skin regeneration and hair growth, but maintenance therapy with treatments like dutasteride and minoxidil may still be necessary.

community DHT Isn't (Directly) Important

101 upvotes 1 year ago

Finasteride's potential side effects, especially sexual dysfunction, are discussed, with emphasis on hormonal balance between testosterone and estradiol. Users share experiences with finasteride, minoxidil, and dutasteride, highlighting the variability in side effects and the influence of mindset and lifestyle.

community L-Arginine and other vasodilators

4 upvotes 5 years ago

L-Arginine and other vasodilators are discussed for hair health, with L-Arginine being less effective than topical treatments like Minoxidil. Topical sildenafil or Cialis are suggested as potentially effective treatments for hair regrowth.
