hypoxic preconditioning human hair follicle stem cells hHFSCs oxidative stress H2O2 HIF1α VEGF hydrogen peroxide vascular endothelial growth factor

TLDR Hypoxic preconditioning helps human hair follicle stem cells survive oxidative stress.

The study explored the effects of hypoxic preconditioning on human hair follicle stem cells (hHFSCs) and SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells, revealing that hHFSCs showed remarkable resilience to hypoxic conditions, with no cell death after 3 days, unlike SH-SY5Y cells. Hypoxic preconditioning improved hHFSCs' survival under oxidative stress, particularly at 1200 micromolar H2O2, and led to significant gene expression changes, including downregulation of HIF1α mRNA and increased VEGF transcripts. These findings suggest that hypoxic preconditioning could enhance the survival and therapeutic efficacy of hHFSCs in cell therapy applications, especially for central nervous system conditions, although further research is needed to understand the mechanisms involved.

community Why only the top of the head?!

in Chat 2 years ago

Why the top of the head is affected by hair loss more than other areas, and treatments such as surgery, medications like minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841 to treat it.

community Have any minoxidil non-responders ever gotten results after adding stemoxydine?

in Minoxidil 9 upvotes 4 years ago

Hair loss discussion involves minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841. Minoxidil non-responders may see results after adding stemoxydine due to increased enzyme presence.

community Topical caffeine is a common ingredient in formulas to prevent hair loss and to induce hair regrowth. (What’s your take on this?)

in Treatment 11 upvotes 2 years ago

The conversation discusses whether topical caffeine is effective for hair loss, with some users questioning its role due to its vasoconstrictive and vasodilative properties, while another suggests that temporary vasoconstriction might be beneficial by promoting angiogenesis. Specific treatments mentioned include caffeine shampoo, which one user believes is ineffective.

community Does anyone have any experience with Stemoxydine?

in Product 10 upvotes 3 years ago

Using Stemoxydine, a hair growth promoter, in conjunction with Fin and Minoxidil to help counter shedding induced by the latter two treatments. Another user also shared their experience of using Stemoxydine for three months along with dermastamp.

community Any New Findings or Interesting Research?

in Research/Science 24 upvotes 1 year ago

The conversation is about seeking new research on hair loss treatments beyond the commonly known ones like Minoxidil and Finasteride. Additions to the list of treatments include topical caffeine, alfatradiol, fluridil, stemoxydine, and upcoming treatments like TDM-105795 and verteporfin.

community What about botox injections on the scalp?

in Research/Science 6 upvotes 2 years ago

Botox injections on the scalp may help with hair loss, as one small study showed improvement in 8 out of 10 subjects. Treatments mentioned include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
