    TLDR Adding Y-27632 and bFGF to the culture medium greatly improves goat hair follicle stem cell growth and quality.
    The study aimed to optimize the culture conditions for goat hair follicle stem cells (gHFSCs) to facilitate research on hair growth and biology. The researchers tested the effects of the Rho-associated protein kinase inhibitor Y-27632, leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), and vitamin C on gHFSC proliferation and pluripotency. They found that Y-27632, LIF, and bFGF each independently improved gHFSC proliferation and pluripotency, with Y-27632 having the most significant effect. The combination of Y-27632 (10 μM) and bFGF (10 ng/mL) provided the best results for cell proliferation, clone-forming ability, and differentiation potential. This optimized culture condition, named goat Hair Follicle Enhanced Medium (gHFEM), is considered ideal for in vitro gHFSC culture, which is crucial for studying hair follicle growth and function.

      in Microneedling  18 upvotes 1 year ago
      Microneedling with needle lengths of 1.5mm to 2.5mm to stimulate hair follicle stem cells for potential hair growth. Using needles longer than 2.5mm is not recommended due to risk of puncturing veins in the scalp. A dermastamp is suggested over a roller.

      in Research/Science  28 upvotes 9 months ago
      TDM-105795 showed promising hair growth results, with higher efficacy than placebo and minimal side effects. It activates dormant hair follicle stem cells and may maintain gains without immediate loss, unlike minoxidil.

      community Fun thought experiment about halting hair loss permamently

      in Research/Science  58 upvotes 6 months ago
      A user proposed genetically engineering scalp stem cells to stop androgen receptors from causing hair loss. Others discussed the feasibility, existing research, and potential issues with this approach, including targeting the correct cells and unintended effects.

      community Is there any new drug that looks promising ?

      in Research/Science  25 upvotes 8 months ago
      The conversation discusses GT20029, a drug in Phase II trials that targets androgen receptors with minimal systemic effects, and TDM-105795, a growth stimulant with a different mechanism than minoxidil that may revive papilla stem cells. Both are potential new treatments for hair loss.
