    TLDR ES cell-derived stem cells can help regenerate skin and form gland-like structures.
    The study investigated the healing effects of embryonic stem (ES) cell-derived epidermal stem cells on full thickness skin defects in mice. The results showed that the skin defects healed within 2 weeks, with the newly formed skin being thicker than normal. After 4 weeks, the new skin developed structures resembling sweat glands, sebaceous glands, and hair follicles. The study concluded that ES cell-derived epidermal-like stem cells were capable of differentiating into epidermis and gland-like structures, indicating their potential in skin regeneration.

      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.
