    TLDR Micrografts promote hair growth in androgenetic alopecia treatment.
    The paper discusses the use of progenitor-cell-enriched micrografts as a potential treatment for androgenetic alopecia. The authors cite a study in which micrografts were used to treat patients with androgenetic alopecia, and the results showed that the treatment was effective in promoting hair growth. The authors suggest that this approach could be a promising option for the treatment of hair loss. Clinical evaluations showed significant improvement in hair growth and density after 4, 6, and 12 months from micrografts application. Histological evaluations showed an increase in the number of hair follicles, cuticle formation, and dermal papilla proliferation after 6 months of treatment.

      community A concise, easy-to-understand post on Androgenic Alopecia theory and its practical applications

      in Research/Science  92 upvotes 2 years ago
      The mechanism of Androgenic Alopecia and practical applications of treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, RU58841, dermarolling, scalp massages, anti-fungals, progesterone, estrogen, PPAR-γ activators, reducing oxidative stress, and scalp exercises. It explains why DHT is important in AA and how other factors might be involved such as hypoxia, increased DKK-1 expression, morphological changes to the scalp, skull growth during childhood/puberty, and blood flow.

      community Hair theory Scar tissue and Verteporfin

      in Chat  25 upvotes 6 months ago
      A user suggests that deeper microneedling with Verteporfin injections might help regrow hair in areas with scar tissue, alongside a DHT blocker. Another user explains that hair loss might be due to reduced Wnt/β-Catenin signaling and suggests that treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, and microneedling could potentially reverse it.

      community Opinions on Scalp fibrosis and DHT?

      in Research/Science  9 upvotes 2 years ago
      The conversation discusses the theory that scalp fibrosis contributes to male pattern baldness (MPB) by increasing DHT concentration, and mentions treatments like Minoxidil. The user seeks opinions on the theory and the effectiveness of scalp massages.
