    TLDR Transplanted hair follicle stem cells can heal damaged rat intestines.
    The study demonstrates that transplanted hair follicle mesenchymal stem cells (HFMSCs) can effectively treat small intestinal ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury in rats. HFMSCs home to the damaged site, proliferate, and differentiate into intestinal stem cells, promoting tissue repair and regeneration. They enhance angiogenesis, reduce apoptosis, and mitigate oxidative stress, thereby improving intestinal morphology and function. The findings suggest HFMSCs as a promising therapeutic approach for intestinal IR injury through intrinsic and paracrine mechanisms.

      in Research  692 upvotes 4 months ago
      Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
