    TLDR The new biomaterial helps grow blood vessels and hair for skin repair.
    The study presents a novel 3D multicellular micropatterning approach for hair regeneration and vascularization using bioprinting technology. By arranging hair follicle-related cells within vascular-cell networks and incorporating magnesium silicate (MS) nanomaterials, the researchers created a biomimetic micropattern with significant follicular and angiogenic potential. This 3D micropattern demonstrated efficient hair regrowth in both immunodeficient and androgenetic alopecia (AGA) mice models, suggesting its potential for effective skin tissue regeneration and hair follicle function recovery.

      User discusses scalp micropigmentation for denser hair appearance and its benefits compared to lifelong treatments. Special ink is used, which can fade and blur over time but can be topped up.

      community Surprisingly thorough study on He-Shou-Wu/Fo Ti

      in Research/Science  14 upvotes 1 year ago
      He Shou Wu (Fo Ti) extract was found to prolong the hair growth phase, inhibit 5-alpha-reductase (like finasteride), reduce androgen receptors, and increase growth factors, potentially outperforming minoxidil in recovering hair follicle size after DHT exposure. Two compounds, emodin and TSG, are identified as responsible for these effects and warrant further investigation.
