    TLDR Early-stage skin cells help regenerate hair follicles, with proteins SDF1, MMP3, biglycan, and LTBP1 playing key roles.
    In 2016, researchers studied the role of early-passage dermal papilla cells (DPCs) in hair follicle regeneration. They found that the culture medium from early passage DPCs induced hair follicle regeneration in mice, while the one from late passage DPCs did not. Using iTRAQ-based quantitative proteomic technology, they identified 1360 proteins, 213 of which were differentially expressed between the early and late-passage DPCs. These proteins regulated the Wnt, TGF-ß and BMP signaling pathways, which are involved in hair follicle morphogenesis and regeneration. The study concluded that DPC-secreted proteins, specifically SDF1, MMP3, biglycan, and LTBP1, play important roles in hair follicle regeneration.

      community HairClone: Good info from their site

      in Technology  10 upvotes 2 years ago
      HairClone aims to rejuvenate miniaturizing hair follicles through follicle banking and cell expansion, with treatments potentially available in the UK by 2022. The process involves extracting, storing, and cloning hair follicles, but full regenerative treatments will take many years to develop.

      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  743 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.

      community Verteporfin and Microneedling

      in Treatments 6 months 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.

      community Does melatonin dissolve in isopropyl alcohol

      in Technology  7 upvotes 1 year ago
      The conversation discusses making a topical melatonin solution for hair loss treatment, questioning if isopropyl alcohol can dissolve melatonin. Melatonin is soluble in lipids and alcohol, but it's unstable and should be mixed fresh regularly; it may help hair growth by affecting certain cellular signaling pathways and has anti-androgenic effects.
