TLDR Engineered skin with specific cells can effectively repair skin and restore its function.

The study demonstrated that composite skin engineered using PGA-collagen hybrid scaffolds combined with keratinocytes, hair follicle bulge cells (HFBCs), and dermal papilla cells (DPCs) effectively repaired full-thickness skin defects in nude mice. It was observed that hair follicle stem cells played a role in the anatomical repair of wounds and potentially induced the restoration of skin structure and function.

in Treatment 41 upvotes 5 years ago

Hair loss treatments discussed include Dutasteride with Ketoconazole, tissue engineering strategies, and androgenetic alopecia therapies. Massage doubles follicular retention, improving treatment effectiveness.

community Anti-oxidants that reverse hairloss?

in Research/Science 89 upvotes 4 years ago

Resveratrol and fisetin, found in red wine and strawberries, may promote hair growth by affecting hair follicle cells. Users discuss various treatments, including natural remedies like saw palmetto and topical applications, with mixed opinions on their effectiveness compared to pharmaceuticals like finasteride.

The treatment for androgenetic alopecia involves using finasteride and minoxidil with intense exercise and cold exposure to boost metabolism and reduce androgenic effects, potentially leading to hair regrowth. This approach may activate biological pathways for improved hair and overall health.

community PP405 Won't Work Long Term: Hair Follicle Damage Due to Abuse of the ISR System

in Research/Science 59 upvotes 1 month ago

PP405 may damage hair follicles if used long-term, suggesting cycling might be necessary. Combining it with finasteride could help maintain hair growth.

Sodium dodecyl sulfate, oleic acid, and palmitoleic acid may promote hair growth, but their safety and effectiveness for humans are uncertain. Users consider trying these treatments cautiously, exploring alternatives like ostrich oil and microneedling.

community Am I missing something with pp405?

in Research/Science 32 upvotes 11 months ago

PP405 is discussed as a potential hair growth stimulant, possibly more effective than minoxidil, but not a cure for hair loss. There is skepticism about its ability to regrow "deadzones," and concerns about its impact on those with hair transplants.
