research The Distributions of Type IV Collagen Alpha Chains in Basement Membranes of Human Epidermis and Skin Appendages
Type IV collagen chains vary in different parts of human skin, with specific patterns linked to melanocytes.
research Basement membrane Laminin and Type IV Collagen in Various Benign and Malignant Adnexal Tumors of the Skin: An Immunohistochemical Study
research Expression of Laminin, Type IV Collagen and Fibronectin Molecules Is Related to Embryonal Skin and Epidermal Appendage Morphogenesis.
The study investigated the expression of laminin, type IV collagen, and fibronectin in the basement membranes of fetal human skin, focusing on their role in skin and epidermal appendage morphogenesis. It was found that these proteins began to express in the germinative epithelial cells of the skin at the hair follicle bulbs, with fibronectin appearing at 12 weeks and laminin and collagen type IV at 19 weeks of gestational age. By 20 to 21 weeks, their expression extended to the epithelial epidermal cells and the basement membrane at the dermal-epidermal junction, indicating their involvement in the development of skin structures during gestation.
research Changes in Fibronectin, Laminin, and Type IV Collagen Distribution Relate to Basement Membrane Restructuring During the Rat Vibrissa Follicle Hair Growth Cycle
The rat vibrissa follicle can quickly remodel its basement membrane during hair growth, affecting cell signaling and activity.
research Expression of Nidogen1 in Basal Cell Carcinoma
Higher levels of nidogen1 and type IV collagen are found in basal cell carcinoma compared to normal skin.

community Will PP405 render Minox and Fin obsolete?
PP405 might make minoxidil unnecessary, but finasteride or other 5AR inhibitors may still be needed. PP405 is expected to be expensive and not available until at least 2028, with limited information on its effectiveness.
community What regimen do I need to get this hairline?
Discussing a regimen to improve the user's hairline, with treatments proposed including minoxidil, rectal microneedling, IV drip of minoxidil, laser removal, PRP injection, topical minoxidil, divine protein shakes, stem cell injections, and keto shampoo.
