    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 5 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 Has anyone tried Exosomes from Musely or somewhere else?

      in Hair Systems  9 upvotes 7 months ago
      Exosomes from Musely are being discussed as a topical hair loss treatment containing ingredients like latanoprost, caffeine, cetirizine, melatonin, vitamin D3, vitamin E, and biotin. Users are curious about its effectiveness and potential side effects, noting it may take 4-6 months to see results.

      community Does melatonin dissolve in isopropyl alcohol

      in Technology  7 upvotes 2 years 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.
