TLDR Fat and hair follicle stem cells can become neurons, useful for treating brain diseases.

The study investigated the neurogenic differentiation potential of Human Adipose Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells (hADMSCs) and Human Hair Follicle Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells (hHFDMSCs) when induced with Epidermal Growth Factors (EGF), Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF), Platelet Derived Growth Factor (PDGF), and Forskolin. Using an in vitro experimental design, the researchers confirmed that both hADMSCs and hHFDMSCs could differentiate into neurons, as evidenced by the expression of neural markers such as glial fibrillary acidic protein, nestin, and β-tubulin III. The findings suggested that these stem cells have similar capacities for neuronal differentiation, which could be advantageous for developing therapies for neurological diseases.

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 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 53 upvotes 7 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.
