    TLDR Wound dressing absorbs fluid, regenerates hair follicles, and heals skin burns.
    The article discusses the development of a wound dressing made of a bioactive composite material that can absorb wound exudates and promote hair follicle regeneration and skin burn wound healing. The dressing is made of hydrophilic ZnCS ceramic particles wrapped in a hydrophobic PLA fiber membrane, which allows for unidirectional fluid transportation. The dressing releases Zn²+ and SiO3 bioactive ions into the wound bed, which promote rapid healing with hair follicle regeneration. The synergistic effect of Zn²+ and SiO3 effectively stimulates the migration, viability, and differentiation of cultured hair follicle dermal papilla cells, and in vivo results further revealed that this synergistic activity also resulted in the recruitment of hair follicle stem cells and enhancement of epidermis formation.

      community Verteporfin and Microneedling

      in Treatments 6 months ago
      Clinical studies by Dr. Barghouthi and Dr. Bloxham indicate that Verteporfin, when used with FUE and FUT hair transplantation methods, shows promise in hair follicle regeneration and minimal scarring due to its ability to inhibit Yes-associated protein (YAP). Microneedling at depths of 3-3.5mm, combined with Verteporfin, could potentially reactivate dormant follicles, although the optimal dosage and application method are still under investigation. Concerns remain about the DHT sensitivity of regenerated follicles, highlighting the need for further research to optimize trauma levels and Verteporfin concentrations to achieve effective and scar-free hair regeneration.
