    TLDR China made major progress in creating artificial skin for better burn treatment.
    Significant advancements were made in skin tissue engineering in China over the past 20 years, focusing on the culture of epithelial cells and the development of dermal substitutes like acellular dermal matrix and spongiform collagen membrane. Efforts were directed towards improving the bioaffinity and vascularization of these substitutes, leading to the successful construction and clinical use of composite skin for repairing full-thickness skin defects. Recent research concentrated on new epithelial seeding cells, including epithelial and hair follicle stem cells, aiming to create artificial skin that closely mimics normal human skin for better transplant viability and improved wound healing in large area deep burn patients.

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

      community Verteporfin and Microneedling

      in Treatments 1 year 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.

      in What should I do? 2 months ago
      Exploring the idea of using facial hair properties for scalp regeneration in male pattern baldness, considering the potential of transferring androgen-resistant characteristics from facial hair to the scalp. Challenges include complexity, scalability, aesthetics, and safety, but the concept encourages innovative thinking beyond current treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, and hair transplants.
