    TLDR Tiny fat-derived particles can help repair soft tissues by changing immune cell types.
    The study explored the role of human adipose tissue-derived small extracellular vesicles (h-sEV-AT) in soft tissue repair. These vesicles were isolated from liposuction adipose tissue and found to increase adipogenesis and angiogenesis in vitro, and induce adipose tissue regeneration and accelerate skin wound healing in vivo. They also increased the percentage of M2 macrophages, which contribute to tissue repair and regeneration. The study concluded that h-sEV-AT can promote soft tissue repair by inducing the differentiation of adipose-derived stromal/stem cells and endothelial cells, and the polarization of macrophages. This suggests a potential cell-free strategy for soft tissue regeneration using these vesicles. However, the specific components of h-sEV-AT that play a key role in soft tissue repair need further identification. The number of participants or samples was not specified.

      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.

      community Topical finasteride now the safest possible path?

      in Finasteride/Dutasteride  84 upvotes 9 months ago
      Topical finasteride is considered a safer option for hair regrowth with fewer systemic side effects compared to oral finasteride. Some users report similar efficacy and side effects between topical and oral treatments, while others prefer topical due to reduced systemic exposure.

      in Research/Science  3 upvotes 3 months ago
      Concerns about the potential systemic effects and safety of PP405 for hair loss, with discussions on its comparison to existing treatments like finasteride and minoxidil. Users express skepticism about untested research chemicals and emphasize the importance of clinical trials to ensure safety and efficacy.

      The conversation discusses hair loss treatments, focusing on the use of topical minoxidil, microneedling, finasteride, and dutasteride, while debating the role of testosterone and DHT in hair loss. It also touches on the potential liver health impacts of these treatments and the genetic sensitivity of hair follicles to androgens.
