    TLDR Researchers made stem cells from human hair follicle cells with better efficiency than from skin cells.
    In 2014, scientists successfully transformed human hair follicle dermal papilla cells into induced pluripotent stem cells (iDP cells) using lentiviral transfection and valproic acid. The reprogramming efficiency was approximately 0.03%, higher than the efficiency of dermal fibroblast reprogramming under the same conditions. The reprogrammed cells expressed pluripotency transcription factors and surface antigens, and demonstrated similar growth kinetics to ES cell clones. They were also able to differentiate into various cell types, including osteoblasts, hepatocytes, and neurons, under laboratory conditions. The study suggested that specific culturing conditions, such as low oxygen content and valproic acid supplementation, might have positively influenced the reprogramming efficiency.

      community Fats on your Head to Stop Hair Loss?

      in Research/Science  138 upvotes 9 months ago
      The conversation discusses the potential of long-chain unsaturated fatty acids, like oleic and linoleic acid, as an additional treatment for hair loss, which may inhibit the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone to DHT and promote hair growth. Users humorously suggest using oils topically and discuss other hair loss treatments, but the main focus is on the science behind fatty acids and their role in hair health.

      community Please explain this Minoxidil phenomena

      in Minoxidil  60 upvotes 1 year ago
      The post discusses the difference in effects of Minoxidil (Min) on scalp and facial hair. The user questions why Min-induced hair growth on the scalp is temporary, while facial hair growth seems permanent, even after stopping Min. They propose theories, including different Min mechanisms on body and facial hair, the role of DHT, and the possibility of not achieving fully terminal hair. The responses include personal experiences and theories about Min's effects on hair growth.

      Hair loss treatments discussed include Dutasteride with Ketoconazole, tissue engineering strategies, and androgenetic alopecia therapies. Massage doubles follicular retention, improving treatment effectiveness.

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

      in Research/Science  732 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.
