community Anyone here have a lot of knowledge on hair follicle stem cells and progenitor cells for PP405?

in Chat 4 upvotes 8 months ago

Hair follicle stem cells remain in bald individuals, but progenitor cells do not, raising questions about hair regrowth claims by Pelage. PP405 is discussed as a potential treatment, with skepticism about its effectiveness compared to existing treatments like Minoxidil and Finasteride.

community Korean scientists breakthrough in hair regeneration targeting CXXC5 protein and WNT Signaling Pathway

53 upvotes 8 years ago

A potential non-invasive topical treatment targeting the WNT Signaling Pathway for hair regeneration is being researched, with positive results on human hair follicle cells. Current effective treatments for hair loss include Minoxidil, finasteride, and hair transplantation.

community Fully functional hair follicle regeneration through the rearrangement of stem cells and their niches

4 upvotes 11 years ago

Hair follicle regeneration through stem cell rearrangement is discussed, focusing on bioengineered cellular structures rather than traditional hair transplants. Treatments mentioned include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.

community New Peer-Reviewed Publication Further Validates RepliCel's Use of Dermal Sheath Cup Cells to Treat Pattern Baldness - Paper entitled "Hair Follicle Dermal Stem Cells Regenerate the Dermal Sheath, Repopulate the Dermal Papilla, and Modulate Hair Type" published journal Developmental Cell

13 upvotes 11 years ago

A new treatment using dermal sheath cup cells may regrow hair and could require repeat treatments every 8 years. Users discuss ongoing trials and plan to use finasteride and minoxidil until the treatment is available.

community Recent trials investigating mesenchymal stem cell derived exosomes demonstrate significant increases in anagen duration and hair shaft caliber by upregulating Wnt/beta-catenin pathways.

4 upvotes 4 weeks ago

Exosomes from mesenchymal stem cells can increase hair growth by enhancing anagen duration and hair shaft thickness through the Wnt/beta-catenin pathway. Phase 2 trials show improved hair counts over 24 weeks.

community Expectations control for SCUBE3

20 upvotes 2 years ago

SCUBE3, a protein linked to hair growth in moles, was discovered over 25 years ago and is being developed by Amplifica for potential hair loss treatment. Concerns exist about SCUBE3's association with cancer, as it is a protein that promotes cell growth, which could potentially trigger cancer development if used for hair growth therapy.
