    TLDR Jagged-1 in skin Tregs is crucial for timely wound healing by recruiting specific immune cells.
    The study investigates the role of Jagged-1 (Jag1) in skin-resident regulatory T cells (Tregs) during wound healing. Using a tamoxifen inducible Foxp3creERT2Jag1fl/fl model, it was found that the absence of functional Jag1 in Tregs significantly delays wound closure. Unlike in hair regeneration, Jag1 in Tregs does not affect epithelial stem cells during wound healing but is crucial for the recruitment of Ly6G+ neutrophils to the wound site. The loss of Jag1 does not alter the abundance or activation of other immune cells like CD4+ and CD8+ T cells or pro-inflammatory macrophages. This indicates that Jag1-Notch signaling in Tregs is essential for coordinating innate cell recruitment during injury, highlighting its importance in effective wound repair.

      in Research  692 upvotes 3 months ago
      Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.

      A 20-year-old reports worsening hair loss despite using dutasteride and minoxidil, and considers a hair transplant. Users suggest continuing treatments, trying microneedling, ketoconazole shampoo, switching to finasteride, or adding tretinoin.

      The conversation is about hair transplants and the perception that they often look unnatural, especially in the first few rows of hair. There is a debate about whether it's better to choose a cheaper clinic in Turkey or a more expensive one in the USA, with some arguing that experience and skill matter more than cost.

      The conversation humorously criticizes The Beatles for having more hair in old age than the user at 20. It includes mentions of finasteride and dutasteride as hair loss treatments.
