The researchers reported that in Arabidopsis collet hairs, nuclear positioning near the cell tip is not essential for hair growth, although it correlates with growth dynamics.
This study observed that Nod factor stimulation in alfalfa roots leads to dynamic changes in the cytoskeleton and endoplasmic reticulum, suggesting a mechanism for root hair growth changes.
Stopping minoxidil for 10 days due to eye surgery, with concerns about hair loss. Most responses suggest a short break won't significantly impact hair, and emphasize prioritizing eye health.
A user shared a 6-month hair loss progress update using a topical solution containing finasteride, minoxidil, ketoconazole, and biotin. They experienced no side effects and found applying the solution with a q-tip more effective than spraying.
The user started using finasteride, minoxidil, and biotin for male pattern baldness (MPB) and is experiencing rapid thinning. They are questioning if low blood flow to the head could be contributing to their hair loss.
A 21 year old who has been taking various treatments for hair loss such as dutasteride, RU58841, minoxidil and finasteride with no results. Other users share their experiences of dealing with hair loss at an early age and offer advice on how to cope.
