    TLDR Hair follicle stem cells from Arbas Cashmere goats can become fat, nerve, and liver cells.
    This study investigated the differentiation potential of primary and secondary hair follicle stem cells (PHFSCs and SHFSCs) from Arbas Cashmere goats. The researchers isolated and cultured these cells, confirming their high viability and proliferation rates. Both PHFSCs and SHFSCs demonstrated the ability to differentiate into adipocyte-like, neural-like, and hepatocyte-like cells, as evidenced by specific markers and gene expression. These findings suggest that HFSCs from Arbas Cashmere goats possess significant multipotent capabilities, making them promising candidates for regenerative medicine and tissue engineering applications.

      Diffuse hair loss and scalp biopsies

      Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.

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

      community Anyone here going the “natural” route?

      People discussing their experiences with natural treatments for hair loss, such as essential oils, deep scalp massages, anti-inflammatory measures, and supplements. Most of the replies suggest that these treatments are not effective and recommend medication such as minoxidil or finasteride instead.
