    TLDR The dressing generates hydrogen sulfide to help heal wounds faster by reducing inflammation and promoting cell growth.
    The study presents a bilayer wound dressing that can self-catalytically generate hydrogen sulfide (H2S), which is known to promote cell proliferation, stimulate angiogenesis, and resist inflammation. The dressing is made of a bio-macromolecular H2S donor based on a keratin–TA conjugate (KTC) loaded into a gelatin hydrogel, and polyurethane electrospun with glutathione (GSH). The dressing can control and sustain the release of H2S, promote cell proliferation and migration, and has enhanced antioxidant ability and reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging capability. When tested on a full-thickness excisional cutaneous wound model in rats, the dressing reduced inflammation, promoted vascularization, and facilitated hair follicle regeneration, thereby accelerating wound healing. This suggests potential applications in the field of wound dressing.

      in Finasteride/Dutasteride  160 upvotes 5 years ago
      A user's 14-month journey with finasteride, microneedling, and Nizoral to treat hair loss. They experienced some side effects such as ball ache, needing to pee constantly, and less semen, but the results were generally positive.

      community How important is microneedling (dermarolling)?

      in Microneedling  9 upvotes 1 year ago
      A user has been using oral finasteride and minoxidil without significant hair regrowth and is questioning the effectiveness of adding microneedling to their routine. Another user suggests microneedling can help with topical treatments but doesn't see it as a major factor in improving hair loss.

      community Does anyone know the chemical formula for pelage pp405?

      in Research/Science  14 upvotes 1 year ago
      The conversation discusses the lack of public information on the chemical structure of PP405, a hair loss treatment, and the challenges of synthesizing it without a patent. It also explores a patent related to hydrogen-based topical formulations for reducing oxidative stress and inflammation.

      community Have you tried putting unconventional things on to your scalp ?

      in Technology  3 upvotes 3 years ago
      The conversation is about trying unconventional treatments for hair loss, such as green tea, coffee, cocoa, multivitamin pills, red wine, onion, honey, herbs, and hydrogen peroxide. The user is seeking feedback on these methods to avoid ineffective ones.
