    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 Occipitalis Muscle Tension Theory

      in Treatment  7 upvotes 6 days ago
      Scalp tension from the occipitalis muscle is theorized to contribute to hair loss, but most believe DHT and genetics are the main causes. Treatments like finasteride and minoxidil are considered more effective than addressing scalp tension.

      community Sunlight: Does it Stimulate Hair Growth or Hair Loss?

      in Research/Science  64 upvotes 1 year ago
      The conversation discusses whether sunlight exposure affects hair growth or loss, with mixed anecdotes and theories but no clear consensus. Some suggest moderate sunlight can benefit hair by providing vitamin D, while others doubt its effectiveness compared to treatments like Minoxidil or finasteride.

      community The Theory of BURN THE SCALP. !!UPDATES¡¡¡

      in Update  48 upvotes 1 year ago
      A user experimented with applying hot water to their scalp to potentially stimulate hair growth, noting reduced dandruff but uncertain hair loss results. They started this method due to side effects from minoxidil and are considering taking a break to observe changes.
