Cellular and Molecular Mechanisms of Repair in Acute and Chronic Wound Healing

    July 2015 in “ British Journal of Dermatology ”

    TLDR Acute wounds heal well, but chronic wounds struggle due to ongoing inflammation and poor tissue repair.
    The document discussed the cellular and molecular mechanisms of wound healing, focusing on the differences between acute and chronic wounds. Acute wounds healed efficiently through coordinated cell activities, while chronic wounds, often seen in aging populations and those with diabetes or obesity, posed therapeutic challenges due to persistent inflammation and defective tissue repair. Zebrafish and Drosophila were introduced as models for studying wound healing. The study highlighted the roles of immune cells, fibroblasts, and keratinocytes in acute healing, and noted that chronic wounds were characterized by hyperproliferative keratinocytes, senescent fibroblasts, and elevated MMPs. The research emphasized the need for collaboration between researchers and clinicians to develop new treatments, and suggested that understanding these mechanisms could lead to therapeutic advancements in wound care.

      The treatment for androgenetic alopecia involves using finasteride and minoxidil with intense exercise and cold exposure to boost metabolism and reduce androgenic effects, potentially leading to hair regrowth. This approach may activate biological pathways for improved hair and overall health.

      The conversation discusses the potential of long-chain unsaturated fatty acids, like oleic and linoleic acid, as an additional treatment for hair loss, which may inhibit the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone to DHT and promote hair growth. Users humorously suggest using oils topically and discuss other hair loss treatments, but the main focus is on the science behind fatty acids and their role in hair health.

      Treatments for hair loss, including finasteride, dutasteride, minoxidil, ketoconazole, microneedling, and low level laser light therapy, which aim to reduce DHT production, increase cell absorption and blood flow, and stimulate epidermal stem cells. It also stresses the importance of patience when using these treatments.
