    TLDR The best method to isolate and culture hair follicle stem cells in fine-wool sheep is a combination of two-step enzymatic digestion and mechanical separation.
    The study focused on isolating and culturing hair follicle stem cells from fine-wool sheep to establish an in vitro culturing system. Three methods were tested: two-step enzyme digestion, mechanical separation, and a combination of both. The cells were evaluated based on number, cloning efficiency, and proliferation ability. All methods successfully produced cells expressing keratin K19 and integrin-β1, confirming the successful isolation of hair follicle stem cells. The combination of two-step enzymatic digestion and mechanical separation was found to be the optimal method for obtaining and culturing these cells.

      A 38-year-old man is using topical and oral Minoxidil, DHT blocker shampoo, and microneedling for hair regrowth, with plans to add Finasteride later. Many users suggest starting Finasteride or Dutasteride immediately to address the root cause of hair loss, while some express concerns about potential side effects.
