In this study, transgenic male mice over-expressing the androgen receptor in mesenchymal stem cells showed reduced fat mass and improved glucose clearance, suggesting enhanced androgen sensitivity may alter body composition.
research Epidermal retinol dehydrogenases cyclically regulate stem cell markers and clock genes and influence hair composition
The researchers reported that disrupting ATRA signaling by deleting RDHE genes in the hair follicle led to altered hair follicle cycles, composition, and gene expression, indicating RDHEs' role in hair follicle signaling coordination.
research Competitive balance of intrabulge BMP/Wnt signaling reveals a robust gene network ruling stem cell homeostasis and cyclic activation
This study reveals an antagonistic competition between BMP and Wnt signaling within stem cells, influencing their fate towards hair germ characteristics based on the BMP/Wnt activity ratio.
research Faculty Opinions recommendation of Competitive balance of intrabulge BMP/Wnt signaling reveals a robust gene network ruling stem cell homeostasis and cyclic activation.
This review discusses the role of BMP/Wnt signaling in regulating stem cell homeostasis and activation but reports no new experimental findings.

5 / 564 resultscommunity Good news for stem cells hair therapies - US federal judge: using patients' stem cells does NOT fall under FDA jurisdiction
A US federal judge ruled that using patients' stem cells for medical treatments is not under FDA jurisdiction, potentially speeding up development of stem cell-based hair loss therapies. Some users are optimistic about increased research and development, while others express skepticism about the ruling's impact on safety and efficacy standards.
community The end of balding: We may have just found the secret to hair regrowth
MCL-1 is important for hair follicle stem cell survival, but its impact on human hair regrowth is unclear. Minoxidil and finasteride are the main treatments, with doubts about new discoveries leading to effective human solutions soon.
community If we can clone a sheep why we can't cure baldness till now
Hair loss treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, and stem cell therapies exist, but a complete cure is hindered by genetic complexity and market dynamics. Cloning hair follicles is considered a potential solution, but it's currently not feasible.
community A Theory on Why Microneedling Works
Microneedling may enhance hair regrowth by transferring stem cells to dormant follicles, improving the effects of minoxidil. Users discuss using microneedling with needle lengths around 1.5mm to stimulate hair growth.
community The Chinese version of Stemson Therapeutics (Hair Multiplication) is here. It is called Yunce Medical.
Yunce Medical, a Chinese company, is developing hair multiplication technology similar to Stemson Therapeutics, with potential for quicker availability due to favorable regulations. Users express skepticism and hope for future advancements in hair loss treatments.
