community Anyone here have a lot of knowledge on hair follicle stem cells and progenitor cells for PP405?

in Chat 4 upvotes 8 months ago

Hair follicle stem cells remain in bald individuals, but progenitor cells do not, raising questions about hair regrowth claims by Pelage. PP405 is discussed as a potential treatment, with skepticism about its effectiveness compared to existing treatments like Minoxidil and Finasteride.

community Fully functional hair follicle regeneration through the rearrangement of stem cells and their niches

4 upvotes 11 years ago

Hair follicle regeneration through stem cell rearrangement is discussed, focusing on bioengineered cellular structures rather than traditional hair transplants. Treatments mentioned include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.

community "Hair Follicle Stem Cells are quiescent 99% of the time and permanently reside in the hair follicle"

in Research/Science 1391 upvotes 1 year ago

Hair follicles are mostly dormant but can be reactivated with treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, and microneedling. A new drug, PP405, shows promise for hair regrowth but may not be available until 2027-2028.

community Functional hair follicles grown from stem cells: Scientists have created natural-looking hair that grows through the skin using human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), a major scientific achievement that could revolutionize the hair growth industry.

171 upvotes 7 years ago

Scientists have grown natural-looking hair from stem cells, potentially revolutionizing hair growth treatments. Concerns include cost, DHT resistance, and the need for future procedures.

community Adipocyte lipolysis activates epithelial stem cells for hair regeneration through fatty acid metabolic signaling

23 upvotes 10 months ago

Fatty acid metabolic signaling can activate epithelial stem cells for hair regeneration. Oleic and palmitoleic acids showed the best results, but practical application on humans remains uncertain.

community Researchers working on ways to regenerate lost hair from stem cells identified a recipe for normal hair regeneration in the lab. “A method for cyclical regeneration of hair follicles from hair follicle stem cells and will help make hair follicle regeneration therapy a reality in the near future.”

263 upvotes 5 years ago

Hair loss treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and hair transplants have side effects and limitations. There is hope for future advancements in stem cell therapy and hair follicle regeneration, though skepticism about their effectiveness and timeline persists.
