Skin Phenotype Diversity Across Populations: From Skin Morphology To Molecular Phenotype

Transplanting mice skin to humans is not feasible due to immune rejection, but some suggest genetic modification or immune suppression could make it possible. Xenograft hair transplants are discouraged.

Human pluripotent stem cells have been used to create hair and skin, potentially offering a new solution for baldness. A user also mentioned starting finasteride but experiencing unexpected hair thinning.

The conversation discusses changes in scalp texture and appearance in areas of hair loss, with concerns about the suitability of these areas for hair transplants. Users mention issues like fibrosis, inflammation, and thinner skin, advising caution and consultation with clinics before proceeding with transplants.

Genetic differences in hair follicles affect hair loss patterns. Treatments discussed include finasteride, dutasteride, minoxidil, and RU58841.

Scientists have grown natural-looking hair from stem cells, potentially revolutionizing hair growth treatments. Concerns include cost, DHT resistance, and the need for future procedures.

Body hair is more resilient than scalp hair due to different gene expressions and DHT sensitivity. Treatments like minoxidil and finasteride are used for hair loss, but they have varying effects on body and scalp hair.
