TLDR High-concentration cell-free adipose extract reduces scar formation and improves scar appearance.

The study investigates the effects of cell-free adipose extract (CEFAE) on hypertrophic scar formation using a rabbit ear scar model. The research compared a control group with low and high concentrations of CEFAE. Results showed that the high-concentration CEFAE group had the best outcomes, with reduced collagen deposition, thinner skin layers, and more organized collagen structure. Additionally, there was a significant reduction in new blood vessel formation, which helps suppress scar tissue development. These findings suggest that high-concentration CEFAE effectively prevents and treats scar proliferation, offering new therapeutic strategies for managing clinical scars.

community A concise, easy-to-understand post on Androgenic Alopecia theory and its practical applications

in Research/Science 92 upvotes 3 years ago

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.

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 If You Have DUPA, PLEASE READ THIS: Everyone Should Be Scalp Biopsied

in Research 830 upvotes 1 year 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.

community Efficacy of different dutasteride doses vs finasteride

in Research/Science 123 upvotes 2 years ago

Dutasteride doses matter for hair loss treatment and are more effective than finasteride. RU58841 is suggested for better gains, but side effect profiles should be considered.
