    TLDR The book explains the science of tissue repair and regeneration, its medical uses, challenges, and ethical concerns.
    The book "Regenerative Biology and Medicine" by David L. Stocum provides an in-depth look at the field of regenerative biology and its applications in medicine. It covers the biological basis of tissue repair and regeneration, the progress and challenges in regenerating complex tissues like skin with full features including hair, and the psychological impacts of conditions such as androgenic alopecia. The book also discusses the use of neural stem cells for brain injury, the regenerative abilities of various tissues, and the role of stem cells in therapy. It highlights the ethical and safety concerns in clinical trials, especially regarding the use of human embryonic stem cells and the potential risks of therapies in non-life-threatening conditions. The text underscores the importance of understanding basic regenerative biology and the exciting potential of induced pluripotent stem cells, while acknowledging the significant knowledge gaps and the need for diverse strategies in regenerative medicine.

      community Anyone excited for CosmeRNA coming this month?

      in Product  171 upvotes 1 year ago
      CosmeRNA, a new hair loss treatment, is expected to release soon and may become part of the "big three" treatments alongside finasteride and minoxidil. It works differently from finasteride by targeting androgen receptors in hair follicles, potentially offering fewer side effects.
      Diffuse hair loss and scalp biopsies

      community Diffuse hair loss and scalp biopsies

      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.

      community Anyone Try Microneedling with Exosomes/AAPE?

      in Microneedling  2 upvotes 2 years ago
      User asks where to purchase exosomes/AAPE for microneedling hair loss treatment. Links to research on hair regeneration therapy, stem cell therapy, exosome therapy, and dermal exosomes provided.

      community Looks like a real cure to the root of baldness (DHT-induced senescence) was proven earlier this year

      in Research/Science  732 upvotes 2 years ago
      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.

      community Hair Cloning, Trials were supposed to begin 2020-2021

      in Technology  48 upvotes 4 years ago
      The conversation discusses hair cloning trials expected to start in 2020-2021 and mentions concerns about potential delays due to the Coronavirus. Treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841 are referenced.
