    TLDR Different fibroblasts play key roles in skin healing and scarring.
    The document discussed the regeneration of the dermis, focusing on scarring and the cells involved. It highlighted the roles of different fibroblast populations, particularly papillary and reticular fibroblasts, in skin morphogenesis, homeostasis, and wound healing. The studies reviewed indicated that fibroblast heterogeneity significantly impacted dermal architecture and repair processes. Additionally, the document explored the potential of dermal papilla cells in hair follicle regeneration and their contribution to wound healing. Key findings included the role of angiogenin in stimulating hair growth, the importance of Fgf20 in hair follicle development, and the impact of β-catenin signaling on fibrosis and hair follicle regeneration. The document also discussed the differential gene expression and behavior of fibroblasts in keloid versus normal dermal tissue, emphasizing the role of myofibroblasts, collagen production, and the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in abnormal wound healing. Various studies were cited, demonstrating the impact of growth factors like TGF-β and the mechanical properties of the extracellular matrix on fibroblast activity. The potential of hyaluronic acid-based treatments for wound healing and the challenges in treating keloids and hypertrophic scars were also explored. Overall, the research underscored the complexity of dermal regeneration and the potential for targeted therapies to improve healing and reduce scarring.

      community HairClone: Good info from their site

      in Technology  10 upvotes 2 years ago
      HairClone aims to rejuvenate miniaturizing hair follicles through follicle banking and cell expansion, with treatments potentially available in the UK by 2022. The process involves extracting, storing, and cloning hair follicles, but full regenerative treatments will take many years to develop.

      Hair loss treatments discussed include Dutasteride with Ketoconazole, tissue engineering strategies, and androgenetic alopecia therapies. Massage doubles follicular retention, improving treatment effectiveness.

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

      in Research/Science  743 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 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.

      community Does melatonin dissolve in isopropyl alcohol

      in Technology  7 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.
