keratinocyte stem cells hair follicles skin tissue regeneration therapeutic applications differentiation

TLDR Keratinocyte stem cells help regenerate and repair cornea, skin, and hair.

The document discussed the role and characteristics of keratinocyte stem cells in the cornea, skin, and hair follicles. It highlighted the importance of these stem cells in tissue regeneration and repair. The study provided insights into the potential of keratinocyte stem cells to contribute to the understanding of skin and hair follicle biology, as well as their implications in therapeutic applications for skin and hair-related conditions. The research emphasized the need for further studies to explore the mechanisms governing the behavior and differentiation of these stem cells.

The treatment for androgenetic alopecia involves using finasteride and minoxidil with intense exercise and cold exposure to boost metabolism and reduce androgenic effects, potentially leading to hair regrowth. This approach may activate biological pathways for improved hair and overall health.

community If You Have DUPA, PLEASE READ THIS: Everyone Should Be Scalp Biopsied

in Research 830 upvotes 1 year 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.
