    TLDR Fibroblast Growth Factors (FGFs) are important for tissue repair and regeneration, influencing cell behavior and other factors involved in healing, and are crucial in processes like wound healing, bone repair, and hair growth.
    The document from November 14, 2017, discussed the role of Fibroblast Growth Factors (FGFs) in tissue repair and regeneration. FGFs were found to control the migration, proliferation, differentiation, and survival of different cell types, and influence the expression of other factors involved in the regenerative response. The document highlighted the importance of understanding FGF activities for appropriate modulation of FGF signaling after injury to prevent impaired healing and promote organ regeneration in humans. FGFs were found to be crucial in various biological processes, including wound healing, bone repair, muscle differentiation, and liver regeneration. In the context of hair growth, FGF9 from dermal gamma delta T cells induced hair follicle neogenesis after wounding. However, the document did not provide specific numbers of participants in the studies, limiting the strength of the conclusions.

      Microneedling for hair restoration involves daily use of a 0.3 mm device and weekly use of a 0.5 mm device. Combining microneedling with Minoxidil can enhance hair growth.

      in Treatments 5 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.

      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.
