research Sphingolipid metabolism orchestrates the establishment of the adult hair follicle stem cell niche to control skin homeostasis

January 2024 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)”

In this study, the researchers found that deleting ceramide synthase 4 in the skin's epidermis alters stem cell differentiation, disrupting hair follicle structure and barrier function, potentially leading to immune responses similar to atopic dermatitis.

research Controlled Delivery of T-box21 Small Interfering RNA Ameliorates Autoimmune Alopecia (Alopecia Areata) in a C3H/HeJ Mouse Model

69 citations , February 2008 in “The American journal of pathology”

This study found that local injections of interleukin-4 and neutralizing anti-interferon-γ antibody effectively treated alopecia in a mouse model, suggesting potential therapeutic pathways for human alopecia areata.

The Expanding Impact of T-Regulatory Cells in Skin Health

research The expanding impact of T-regs in the skin

2 citations , September 2022 in “Frontiers in Immunology”

This article reviews the emerging non-inflammatory roles of regulatory T cells in the skin and reports no new clinical findings, suggesting broad biological influence beyond traditional immune functions.

Evaluation of Platelet-Rich Plasma on Hair Regrowth and Lesional T-Cell Cytokine Expression in Alopecia Areata: A Randomized Observer-Blinded, Placebo-Controlled, Split-Head Pilot Study

research Evaluation of platelet-rich plasma on hair regrowth and lesional T-cell cytokine expression in alopecia areata: A randomized observer-blinded, placebo-controlled, split-head pilot study

9 citations , December 2020 in “Journal of The American Academy of Dermatology”

This study found that platelet-rich plasma had limited efficacy in treating alopecia areata but may help restore immune balance in the affected areas.

research Dermal T cell immunity and key regulatory signaling pathways: Implications in immune-mediated alopecia and hair regeneration

1 citations , January 2025 in “Genes & Diseases”

This review highlights that T cells are crucial in regulating hair follicle regeneration and their disruption can lead to alopecia, providing insights into hair disorders related to T cell immune balance and hair follicle regeneration.

community You will lose hair if your prostaglandins aren't in balance

56 upvotes 1 year ago

Prostaglandin balance affects hair loss, particularly in conditions like Lichen Planopilaris, where an imbalance can lead to hair follicle damage. Treatments mentioned include prostaglandin analogs and Pioglitazone HCL, with a focus on maintaining prostaglandin equilibrium for potential hair regrowth.

community Don't just focus on Finasteride, Minoxidil and Ketaconozole/Derma rolling

18 upvotes 4 years ago

Improving hair health involves not only using treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and ketoconazole but also focusing on a healthy lifestyle, including diet, exercise, and stress management. A balanced approach enhances treatment effectiveness and overall well-being.

community Don’t let them scare you from finasteride. 8 months

in Progress Pictures 270 upvotes 2 years ago

A user shared their 8-month progress using 1mg oral finasteride with no side effects and plans to start minoxidil. Another user commented that the results look great and suggested reconsidering starting minoxidil.

community Why Fin/Dut Isn't Working for You GPR133: a new hairloss mechanism + Steroid Hair Loss Deep Dive

6 upvotes 1 month ago

Hair loss may be linked to the GPR133 receptor, independent of the androgen receptor pathway. Treatments like finasteride, dutasteride, minoxidil, RU58841, and KX-826 show varying results, with hair loss persisting due to high testosterone and GPR133's role.

community Why hasn’t anyone made a "DHT sponge" biologic yet???

in Research/Science 45 upvotes 9 months ago

The conversation discusses the potential for developing a biologic "DHT sponge" to neutralize DHT in the bloodstream as a treatment for hair loss, suggesting it could be more targeted and have fewer side effects than current treatments like finasteride and dutasteride. Concerns include the complexity, cost, and potential side effects of such a treatment, as well as skepticism about its feasibility and market interest.

Ever wonder why your hair doesn’t grow back thick anymore? Maybe your scalp needs better blood flow: centella could help. There is no clinical trial of centella asiatica for hair loss and no study measuring scalp blood flow in people using it; the only hair-related evidence is a 2017 cell-culture study. Centella products are cosmetics that may soothe an irritated scalp, and the link between scalp circulation and pattern hair loss is itself unproven.
