    TLDR Skin stem cells can help improve skin repair and regeneration.
    The document discussed the hierarchical organization and precise location of stem cell populations in the skin, which is composed of the epidermis and dermis. Epidermal stem cells, located in the upper part of hair follicles, generate interfollicular epidermis, hair, and sebaceous glands, while mesenchymal cells associated with blood vessels in the dermis are the primary source of dermal components. Additionally, exogenous skin cells like melanocytes and dermal papilla cells have their own stem cells. The study highlighted the potential of cell therapies and bioengineered skin surrogates to improve skin regeneration, offering promising solutions for rapid and efficient skin repair.

      Treatments for hair loss, including finasteride, dutasteride, minoxidil, ketoconazole, microneedling, and low level laser light therapy, which aim to reduce DHT production, increase cell absorption and blood flow, and stimulate epidermal stem cells. It also stresses the importance of patience when using these treatments.

      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.
