In this study, researchers used quantitative fate mapping to investigate how the infundibulum, part of the epidermis, is maintained during adulthood, finding that progenitors maintain this tissue through stochastic cell fate choices, with cells at the bottom providing transient support during hair growth phases.
research Aberrant Wnt signalling induces comedo-like changes in the upper hair follicle
This study found that abnormal Wnt signalling in stem cells may contribute to blackhead formation in acne by inhibiting cell differentiation and causing cell accumulation in the junctional zone.
research Identification of the cell lineage at the origin of basal cell carcinoma
Basal cell carcinoma mostly starts from cells in the upper skin layers, not hair follicle stem cells.
research Differential Diagnosis of Female-Pattern Hair Loss
This case report describes a 45-year-old woman with diffuse nonscarring alopecia characterized by hair thinning, increased catagen/telogen follicles, and mild inflammatory infiltrate, highlighting the diagnostic findings via scalp dermoscopy and biopsy.

4 / 479 resultscommunity upped dutasteride from 0,5mg to 3mg and question about my shedding right now
The user increased their dutasteride dose from 0.5mg to 3mg daily to address hair thinning, noticing a change in shedding patterns and possibly thicker hair. Other users discuss the effectiveness of different dutasteride doses on DHT levels and suggest staying consistent with the treatment.
community People who upped from 2.5mg to 5mg oral min..
Users discussed increasing oral minoxidil from 2.5mg to 5mg for hair regrowth, with some considering higher doses despite potential side effects. They also mentioned using 1mg oral finasteride alongside minoxidil.
community Microneedling must reach the stem cells in the upper hair shaft
Microneedling should target depths of 0.5mm to 1.5mm for hair loss, with weekly sessions at 1mm recommended. Combining microneedling with Minoxidil is common for improved results.
community Started making some progress but my dumb ass upped my dose so I lost all my progress
The user is using finasteride, minoxidil, topical minoxidil with tretinoin, a derma stamp, and ketoconazole shampoo for hair regrowth. They experienced shedding after increasing the dose but are hopeful for fuller hair by November or December.
