research Dermal papilla cell number specifies hair size, shape and cycling and its reduction causes follicular decline
More dermal papilla cells in hair follicles lead to larger, healthier hair, while fewer cells cause hair thinning and loss.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Why balding gets worse in every generation?
Balding seems to worsen with each generation, possibly due to stress, diet, and environmental factors. The user started treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride.
community Why is no one pointing out dandruff as the number 1 evidence/symptom of MPB?
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 How significant is the difference between 0.5mg Dut and 1mg Fin?
0.5mg dutasteride reduces scalp DHT more than 1mg finasteride, leading to better hair regrowth results. Users report significant improvement with dutasteride compared to finasteride.
community I destroyed my scalp so you wouldn't have to: here's what happens when you quit topical minoxidil
Quitting minoxidil can lead to significant hair loss, even in areas that were not thinning before, as hair becomes reliant on the treatment. Some users also report losing hair gains when stopping minoxidil despite taking finasteride.
community TWIST-1 and the cure: Is it really that easy?
TWIST-1 gene's role in hair loss and potential as a treatment target. Inhibiting TWIST-1 may prolong hair growth and reduce hair follicle sensitivity to DHT.
