TLDR Keratinocytes and adipose-derived stem cells can effectively heal difficult skin wounds.

This dissertation by Hady Shahin explores the development of a bio-production workflow for autologous keratinocyte-based Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMPs) and investigates the potential of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AD-MSCs) for treating difficult-to-heal skin wounds. Key findings include the validation of a xeno-free enzymatic workflow for keratinocyte extraction, the benefits of using glass as a culture substrate, and the effectiveness of human serum albumin as a transport solution for keratinocytes. The study also reveals that co-culturing keratinocytes and AD-MSCs enhances AD-MSC differentiation towards epidermal cells through miRNA-mediated gene regulations. In vivo experiments using a porcine wound model confirm the regenerative potential of AD-MSCs, highlighting their role in wound healing via miRNA-155 mediated gene regulation. The research provides a comprehensive, EMA-compliant procedure for keratinocyte production and insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying stem cell differentiation and wound healing.

community Diffuse hair loss and scalp biopsies

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.

community Minoxidil Sulfate makes everyone a responder

in Research/Science 255 upvotes 1 week ago

Minoxidil sulfate is more effective than regular minoxidil, especially for those with low sulfotransferase levels or scalp sensitivity, but it is unstable unless delivered in a liposomal format. Combining minoxidil with tretinoin can enhance effectiveness, and stopping minoxidil use can lead to rapid hair loss.

in Female 2 upvotes 6 months ago

A woman with AGA is using spironolactone, dutasteride, finasteride, oral minoxidil, bicalutamide, and anti-androgenic birth control but still experiences worsening hair loss. Steroid shots temporarily stop her hair shedding, leading her to question her biopsy results.

community Hair repigmentation of poliosis circumscripta in androgenetic alopecia patient treated with exosomes and fractional picosecond laser

in Product 2 upvotes 8 months ago

Exosomes combined with fractional picosecond laser treatment were effective in treating androgenetic alopecia and promoting repigmentation in white hair patches. The role of exosomes in hair repigmentation, particularly in conditions like poliosis, is not well-studied.
