    TLDR The research helps understand how stem cells turn into hair follicle cells.
    The study developed a two-step high-density culture method to induce pluripotent mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells to differentiate into ectodermal cells and subsequently form three-dimensional structures expressing hair keratin, indicating progression along the hair follicle differentiation pathway in vitro. High-throughput immunoblotting was used to analyze protein expression, providing a valuable system for studying the mechanisms directing stem cells along the hair follicle pathway and their epidermal differentiation. This research offered insights into the differentiation processes of ES cells into hair follicle lineages, contributing to the understanding of hair follicle development.

      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.
