    TLDR Nanofiber structure helps regenerate hair follicles.
    A study from 3 years ago developed a cellular nanofiber structure that promotes hair follicle regeneration and multicellular spheroid formation, with promising results for hair regeneration and tissue engineering. The structure had secretory activity-promoting properties and was successful in regenerating hair follicles in mice. The nanofiber sponge was made of chitosan and polyvinyl alcohol and was cross-linked with glutaraldehyde vapors to improve its stability. The study suggests that the cellular nanofiber structure has potential for promoting hair follicle regeneration.

      community Looks like a real cure to the root of baldness (DHT-induced senescence) was proven earlier this year

      in Research/Science  738 upvotes 2 years ago
      A study that outlines the full model for androgenic alopecia (AGA) which links DHT to cellular senescence in dermal papilla cells, and suggests black chokeberry as a source of cyanidin 3-O-arabinoside polyphenol with potential anti-oxidant properties that could reverse this process. The post encourages reaching out to experts in anti-aging and longevity to research treatments involving the polyphenol.

      community Does melatonin dissolve in isopropyl alcohol

      in Technology  8 upvotes 1 year ago
      The conversation discusses making a topical melatonin solution for hair loss treatment, questioning if isopropyl alcohol can dissolve melatonin. Melatonin is soluble in lipids and alcohol, but it's unstable and should be mixed fresh regularly; it may help hair growth by affecting certain cellular signaling pathways and has anti-androgenic effects.

      community My summation of PP405 - looks promising

      in Research/Science  197 upvotes 1 month ago
      PP405 shows promise for hair regrowth by manipulating stem cell characteristics and lactate dehydrogenase, with Phase 2a trials pending. Google Ventures' $15M investment suggests confidence, but results and market availability remain uncertain.
