    TLDR Dermal fibroblasts have adjustable roles in wound healing, with specific cells promoting regeneration or scar formation.
    The study demonstrated that during wound healing, extrafollicular progenitors marked by Hic1 were the primary source of reparative fibroblasts, significantly contributing to dermal regeneration and neogenic hair follicles (HFs). Single-cell RNA sequencing and ATAC-seq revealed distinct transcriptional and epigenetic changes in these fibroblasts, crucial for their regenerative competence. Pharmacological modulation of RUNX1 and retinoic acid signaling, or genetic deletion of Hic1, influenced healing outcomes, indicating that reparative fibroblasts had a latent but modifiable regenerative capacity. The findings emphasized the plasticity of fibroblasts and their potential for therapeutic targeting in regenerative medicine.

      community Comprehensive Microneedling Guide

      in Microneedling  290 upvotes 2 years ago
      Microneedling for hair restoration involves daily use of a 0.3 mm device and weekly use of a 0.5 mm device. Combining microneedling with Minoxidil can enhance hair growth.

      community It’s crazy how it’s 2018 and the only hair loss treatments we have feature undesirable side effects and/or aren’t even effective for many people.

       136 upvotes 6 years ago
      Hair loss treatments, including minoxidil, dermarolling, finasteride, dutasteride, hair transplants, hair systems, and shaving the head. The conversation covers various opinions on these treatments and mentions possible side effects as well as alternatives like wigs, vitamins, and lifestyle changes. The post expresses disappointment that there has been no major breakthrough in the field of hair loss treatments despite decades of research.

      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.

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

      in Research/Science  743 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 I am actually regrowing my hairline without minoxidil or finasteride (mechanical stimulation)

       128 upvotes 6 years ago
      Regrowing hairline without the use of Minoxidil or Finasteride, and instead using mechanical stimulation such as Derma Roller, Nizoral, Zinc Pyrithione, Scalp Massage, Scalp Exercise, Fish Oil and other topical solutions. It is cautioned that there are risks associated with not using medically-prescribed treatments, but it is suggested to consider mechanical stimulation in addition to those prescribed treatments.
