    TLDR Scientists made working hair follicles using stem cells, helping future hair loss treatments.
    This document discusses the potential for hair follicle regeneration therapy and the challenges of hair loss treatment. The authors successfully developed fully functional hair regeneration via intracutaneous transplantation of a bioengineered hair follicle germ, which was reconstituted from adult hair follicle-derived stem cells using their developed organ germ method. The paper concludes by discussing the potential of organ regenerative therapy for the medical cure of alopecia. The study provides evidence for the regeneration of a fully functional human hair follicle using bioengineering, which is applicable to human-derived cells and contributes to future developments in hair follicle regenerative medicine.

      community Pre and Post Dermarolling Routine?

      in Microneedling  18 upvotes 4 years ago
      The conversation is about a hair loss treatment routine involving dermarolling, finasteride, minoxidil, and natural oils. Suggestions include using shorter needles for better absorption of treatments and longer needles less frequently for hair follicle regeneration.

      community Does melatonin dissolve in isopropyl alcohol

      in Technology  6 upvotes 1 year ago
      The conversation discusses making a topical melatonin solution for hair loss treatment, questioning if isopropyl alcohol can dissolve melatonin. Melatonin is soluble in lipids and alcohol, but it's unstable and should be mixed fresh regularly; it may help hair growth by affecting certain cellular signaling pathways and has anti-androgenic effects.

      community Looks like a real cure to the root of baldness (DHT-induced senescence) was proven earlier this year

      in Research/Science  739 upvotes 2 years ago
      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.
