    TLDR Fat tissue extract may help treat vitiligo by reducing cell stress and promoting skin repair.
    The document from June 1, 2019, reports on a study exploring the potential of adipose tissue extracellular fraction (AT-Ex) as a treatment for vitiligo. The study demonstrated that AT-Ex could improve the ability of vitiligo cells to combat oxidative stress, enhance cell proliferation, and activate skin regeneration pathways. AT-Ex was found to stimulate intracellular antioxidant enzymes, inactivate GSK3ß, and activate the Wnt/ß-catenin pathway. The study involved AT-Ex from 14 donors and included skin biopsies and cell cultures from 13 vitiligo patients and 17 healthy individuals. The findings suggest that AT-Ex could be an effective standalone therapy or an adjunct to cell transplantation therapies for vitiligo.

      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.
