TLDR Platelet-rich plasma therapy helps heal skin ulcers and stimulates hair growth in dermatology.

The document discussed the rapidly expanding use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in dermatology, particularly for chronic cutaneous ulcers and aesthetic applications. PRP contains bioactive molecules like type 2 fibroblastic growth factor (FGF-2) and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), which aid in tissue healing by promoting angiogenesis and dermal fibroblast proliferation. Additionally, FGF-7, or epidermal growth factor, was highlighted for its role in activating keratinocyte proliferation and stimulating hair growth.

community SCUBE3 and GT20029 could be the closet thing to a cure: Hair Follicle Regeneration and Protection Against DHT

in Research/Science 14 upvotes 2 years ago

SCUBE3 and GT20029 are potential treatments for hair loss, with SCUBE3 stimulating hair growth and GT20029 protecting against DHT. A combined approach using SCUBE3, finasteride or dutasteride, and later GT20029 could provide a comprehensive treatment for androgenetic alopecia.

community If You Have DUPA, PLEASE READ THIS: Everyone Should Be Scalp Biopsied

in Research 830 upvotes 1 year 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.
