      research Delayed Hair Cycle in Mnd2 Mutant Mice Lacking HtrA2 Serine Protease Activity

      December 2022 in “Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications”
      This study investigated the role of HtrA2 serine protease activity in hair cycle regulation using mnd2 mutant mice. The researchers observed that mnd2 mice exhibited a delay in the transition from the telogen to anagen phase of the hair cycle, which was associated with a differential skin color change compared to wild-type mice. Histological and molecular assays revealed that HtrA2 inactivation led to growth retardation of adipocytes in the subcutaneous skin layer, contributing to the delayed hair cycle. These findings highlight the essential role of HtrA2 in regulating the adipogenesis-associated hair cycle.

      community Verteporfin and Microneedling

      in Treatments 3 months ago
      Clinical studies by Dr. Barghouthi and Dr. Bloxham indicate that Verteporfin, when used with FUE and FUT hair transplantation methods, shows promise in hair follicle regeneration and minimal scarring due to its ability to inhibit Yes-associated protein (YAP). Microneedling at depths of 3-3.5mm, combined with Verteporfin, could potentially reactivate dormant follicles, although the optimal dosage and application method are still under investigation. Concerns remain about the DHT sensitivity of regenerated follicles, highlighting the need for further research to optimize trauma levels and Verteporfin concentrations to achieve effective and scar-free hair regeneration.

      community Why is no one pointing out dandruff as the number 1 evidence/symptom of MPB?

      in Chat  55 upvotes 1 year ago
      The post discusses the theory that persistent dandruff in areas prone to hair loss could be a sign of hair follicles dying due to DHT, indicating balding. The responses vary, with some users noting improvements in dandruff and hair loss with treatments like Dutasteride, while others experienced hair loss without dandruff.

      community Why do I see so many people here recommend microneedling?

      in Microneedling  105 upvotes 1 year ago
      The efficacy of microneedling for hair regrowth as either a stand-alone therapy or adjunct to Minoxidil, and whether Tretinoin is a safer and more effective option. Replies include personal accounts from users who have had success with microneedling in combination with minoxidil and peptide serums, as well as considerations of technique, depth, and potential scarring.
