    TLDR Elastin-like recombinamers show promise for better wound healing and skin regeneration.
    The study investigates the use of elastin-like recombinamers (ELRs) as innovative wound dressings to enhance skin regeneration, particularly for chronic wounds. ELRs, derived from natural elastin, are bioactive, elastic, and biodegradable, promoting cell adhesion, migration, and proliferation. These properties make ELR-based membranes and hydrogels promising for improving wound healing by supporting cell growth and reducing scarring. The study highlights the potential of ELRs in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, with successful in vitro and in vivo tests demonstrating their biocompatibility and effectiveness compared to traditional materials. Further research is needed to assess their long-term clinical effectiveness.

      community Can Minoxidil be Aging My Skin?

      in Minoxidil  6 upvotes 3 years ago
      Minoxidil may cause skin aging effects like wrinkles and dark circles, but evidence is mixed. Alternatives like dermarolling and retinol are suggested.

      community microneedle, any long term users damage?

      in Microneedling  35 upvotes 6 months ago
      Microneedling is effective for hair growth, especially when combined with finasteride and minoxidil, but concerns exist about potential long-term skin damage. Users report increased collagen and elastin deposition, but the long-term effects on the scalp remain uncertain.

      community Growth Stimulants that aren't Minoxidil...?

      in Research/Science  7 upvotes 7 months ago
      The user is exploring hair growth stimulants other than Minoxidil, mentioning Stemoxydine, various peptides, drugs like Latanoprost and Bimatoprost, and natural remedies such as Rosemary Oil and Caffeine. They express concerns about the long-term effectiveness and safety of these alternatives and seek more information on viable options for hair regrowth.

      community Does finasteride/dutasteride reverse aging?

      in Chat  45 upvotes 1 month ago
      Finasteride and dutasteride can improve skin texture and reduce acne by lowering DHT but do not reverse aging. They may enhance skin and hair health for some, but can also cause side effects like dry skin and sexual dysfunction.

      community Is 2-deoxy-D-ribose (2dDR) good for human hair?

      in Research/Science  9 upvotes 3 months ago
      Topical 2-deoxy-D-ribose (2dDR) regrows hair in mice almost as well as 2% Minoxidil. However, 2dDR may contribute to oxidative stress and hair loss due to the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs).
