    TLDR New technologies in acupuncture and biosensors show promise for better medical treatments and healing.
    The document "Recommended Articles" from the Journal of Acupuncture and Meridian Studies highlighted several notable studies. One study developed an electrochemical biosensor using gold and palladium nanoparticles for detecting levodopa and uric acid, showing improved performance in biological samples. Another study introduced hierarchical micro/nano-porous acupuncture needles, which enhanced therapeutic effects and reduced pain in rats. A third study reported on a microneedle pH sensor for real-time detection in cerebrospinal fluid and bladder, demonstrating accuracy and stability. Additionally, a review discussed microneedles as a platform for gene delivery, emphasizing their potential in overcoming skin barriers for DNA therapeutics. Lastly, a study on electrospun scaffolds pre-seeded with fibroblasts showed improved skin wound healing and hair follicle regeneration in rats.

      community Going to try and reverse MPB naturally.

      in Treatment  55 upvotes 2 years ago
      A user is trying to reverse male pattern baldness (MPB) naturally by taking high doses of Vitamin D, improving diet, exercising, reducing stress, and other lifestyle changes, but plans to use finasteride if no results are seen in 60 days. Other users are skeptical, advising medical treatments like finasteride and warning against potential vitamin D overdose and the ineffectiveness of natural remedies for genetic hair loss.

      community Verteporfin and Microneedling

      in Treatments 6 months ago
      Clinical studies by Dr. Barghouthi and Dr. Bloxham indicate that Verteporfin, when used with FUE and FUT hair transplantation methods, shows promise in hair follicle regeneration and minimal scarring due to its ability to inhibit Yes-associated protein (YAP). Microneedling at depths of 3-3.5mm, combined with Verteporfin, could potentially reactivate dormant follicles, although the optimal dosage and application method are still under investigation. Concerns remain about the DHT sensitivity of regenerated follicles, highlighting the need for further research to optimize trauma levels and Verteporfin concentrations to achieve effective and scar-free hair regeneration.
