TLDR Murine epidermal stem cells can develop into skin structures without rejection when implanted.

The study investigated the differentiation potential of murine epidermal stem cells (ESCs) when seeded in a biodegradable carrier and implanted into syngeneic mice. The ESCs were induced to differentiate in vitro, stained with Hoechst 33342, and then seeded into a polyglycolic acid net with collagen gel before implantation. Results showed that the ESCs remained viable for at least 3 weeks post-implantation and differentiated into structures resembling hair follicles, glands, and native dermis. No rejection or severe side effects were observed up to 10 weeks after implantation. The study concluded that these ESCs could be used to create dermal equivalents capable of developing dermal appendages.

community Clearing the air on how non-surgical treatments really work

18 upvotes 6 years ago

Treatments for hair loss, including finasteride, dutasteride, minoxidil, ketoconazole, microneedling, and low level laser light therapy, which aim to reduce DHT production, increase cell absorption and blood flow, and stimulate epidermal stem cells. It also stresses the importance of patience when using these treatments.

Androgenetic alopecia is caused by DHT affecting hair growth. Finasteride and minoxidil are used to manage hair loss by blocking DHT and promoting hair growth.

community PP405: The Ultimate Hair Loss Drug for Complete Hair Growth

in Research/Science 210 upvotes 11 months ago

PP405 is a new hair loss treatment in phase 2 trials that may promote hair growth by increasing lactate production and activating hair follicle stem cells. It could potentially replace hormone-disrupting treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride.

in Technology 676 upvotes 7 months ago

MCL-1 is important for hair follicle stem cell survival, but its impact on human hair regrowth is unclear. Minoxidil and finasteride are the main treatments, with doubts about new discoveries leading to effective human solutions soon.

community Do you keep gains if you stop microneedling?

in Microneedling 15 upvotes 4 months ago

Stopping microneedling may result in losing hair gains, as it enhances the effectiveness of treatments like minoxidil. Combining microneedling with minoxidil and finasteride is more effective than using microneedling alone.
