    TLDR Fibroblast transplantation improves wound healing, with dermal equivalents slightly enhancing skin regeneration.
    The study conducted on 28 C57/B1 mice examined the effects of fibroblast transplantation on ischemic wound healing, focusing on macrophage content and tissue morphology. It was found that the introduction of autofibroblasts was most beneficial for regenerative histogenesis and inflammation. However, the transplantation of a dermal equivalent with heterofibroblasts resulted in the most differentiated epidermis, characterized by the formation of hair follicles. The differences in outcomes between the two methods were minimal, with the dermal equivalent showing slightly better results in terms of epidermis thickness (4.29%), collagen fiber area (2.66%), and blood vessel area (4.04%).

      community Verteporfin and Microneedling

      in Treatments 1 year 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.

      Scalp tension from the occipitalis muscle is theorized to contribute to hair loss, but most believe DHT and genetics are the main causes. Treatments like finasteride and minoxidil are considered more effective than addressing scalp tension.

      community Does finasteride/dutasteride reverse aging?

      Finasteride and dutasteride can improve skin texture and reduce acne by lowering DHT but do not reverse aging. They may enhance skin and hair health for some, but can also cause side effects like dry skin and sexual dysfunction.
