Activating Sonic Hedgehog signaling in cancer stroma may help treat basal cell carcinoma.

research Dermal Wnt/β-Catenin Activation Tunably Controls Hair Follicle Initiation
Activating Wnt in skin cells controls the number of hair follicles by directing cell movement and fate.

research Beyond Goosebumps: Interactions Between the Hair Follicle, the Arrector Pili Muscle, and the Sympathetic Nerve During Development and Hair Follicle Regeneration
Arrector pili muscle regulates hair follicle stem cells, DNA methylation needed for hair cycling, and Wnt/B-catenin signaling starts hair growth.

research The De Novo DNA Methyltransferase DNMT3A Is Required for Epidermal Homeostasis
DNMT3A is crucial for healthy skin and hair growth.

research Mature Adipocytes Inhibit the Antimicrobial Function of Dermal Adipogenic Stem Cells: An Explanation for Impaired Cutaneous Defense in Obesity
Obesity can weaken the skin's ability to fight infections because fat cells stop and reduce the infection-fighting properties of nearby stem cells.

Hair loss treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, ketoconazole, PRP, and microneedling helped maintain hair for 20 years. Research and try evidence-based treatments for best results.
community One year and a few days—any improvement?
The conversation discusses hair loss treatments, specifically the use of oral minoxidil and finasteride, and the potential for hair regrowth. Many suggest considering a hair transplant for the persistent bald spot, while others recommend additional treatments like derma rolling and microneedling.
community A concise, easy-to-understand post on Androgenic Alopecia theory and its practical applications
The mechanism of Androgenic Alopecia and practical applications of treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, RU58841, dermarolling, scalp massages, anti-fungals, progesterone, estrogen, PPAR-γ activators, reducing oxidative stress, and scalp exercises. It explains why DHT is important in AA and how other factors might be involved such as hypoxia, increased DKK-1 expression, morphological changes to the scalp, skull growth during childhood/puberty, and blood flow.
community Better Than Minoxidil? Topical Sodium Valproate
Topical sodium valproate may promote hair growth by inhibiting GSK3β, allowing beta-catenin to proliferate, but it has potential side effects and requires more research. The conversation also mentions skepticism about a product called Vdphlo1, which includes sodium valproate and other ingredients.
community Study: There is 70x Higher Unconjugated DHT in Feces Compared To Blood Levels in Young Adults - Gut Microbiota Manages DHT Recycling and Metabolism
Gut microbiota significantly influences androgen metabolism, impacting hair loss treatments like finasteride. Probiotics, dietary changes, and fecal microbiota transplants may help manage DHT levels and improve hair health.
