TLDR Adipose-derived stem cells can help repair and improve eye tissues and appearance.

Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) show significant promise in ocular surface reconstruction and oculoplastics due to their regenerative and immunomodulatory properties. They are abundant, cost-effective, and relatively safe, making them ideal for clinical applications. MSCs have demonstrated efficacy in reducing inflammation, promoting wound healing, and improving tissue integration in conditions like dry eye syndrome, corneal injuries, and limbal stem cell deficiency. However, further research is needed to standardize clinical procedures, ensure long-term safety, and address ethical and regulatory considerations before MSCs can become standard treatments in ocular medicine.

Hair loss theory involves 3alpha-hydroxysteroid reductase (3AHD) converting DHT to androstenol. Discussion explores potential treatments and encourages more research.

community Diffuse hair loss and scalp biopsies

in Research 692 upvotes 3 months ago

Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.

User considers trying AAPE for hair restoration, costing $700 for 6 months. Others discuss its potential effectiveness and mention a study with promising results.

community Can we have a thread that summarizes all treatments options in addition to the big 3 which we have some evidence for, their mechanism of action and whether they can be combined with the big 3(other than dermarolling)?

in Treatment 55 upvotes 6 years ago

The conversation discusses hair loss treatments beyond the commonly known three, focusing on separating effective treatments from myths. Dutasteride and low-dose oral Minoxidil are mentioned as having clinical evidence for increasing hair counts, but with potential side effects.

community My opinions on hair treatment right now and in future

in Treatment 22 upvotes 4 years ago

Finasteride, minoxidil, dermarolling, and topical antiandrogens are effective for hair regrowth. Future treatments may include CB0301 and hair cloning.
