    TLDR Using umbilical cord stem cells can help create hair-growing tissues more affordably.
    The study aimed to optimize the reconstruction of dermal papilla-like tissues (DPLTs) using umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs) to treat alopecia. Researchers previously demonstrated that UC-MSCs could be isolated and expanded from Wharton's Jelly, forming aggregates similar to native dermal papilla in special media, which could induce new hair follicles. The study focused on optimizing the differentiation step of DPLTs, which requires hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), a relatively expensive component. By evaluating the effects of cell inoculation density and growth factors during differentiation, the study sought to reduce the costs associated with cell therapy using MSCs.

      A study that outlines the full model for androgenic alopecia (AGA) which links DHT to cellular senescence in dermal papilla cells, and suggests black chokeberry as a source of cyanidin 3-O-arabinoside polyphenol with potential anti-oxidant properties that could reverse this process. The post encourages reaching out to experts in anti-aging and longevity to research treatments involving the polyphenol.

      The conversation is about using vitamin C and Magnesium L-Threonate for hair growth by reducing DHT binding to dermal papilla cells. The original post about vitamin C's pH levels and sebum control was possibly removed by a moderator.

      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.
