Advances of Stem Cell Therapeutics in Cutaneous Wound Healing and Regeneration

    January 2017 in “ Mediators of Inflammation ”

    TLDR Stem cells show promise in speeding up wound healing and tissue regeneration.
    The document reviewed the potential of stem cell therapy in enhancing cutaneous wound healing and regeneration, particularly for chronic wounds like diabetic ulcers, which traditional treatments often failed to heal effectively. Stem cells, including mesenchymal, adipose-derived, and hematopoietic stem cells, were highlighted for their roles in promoting processes such as angiogenesis, collagen deposition, and reepithelialization. Adult stem cells were preferred due to ethical concerns associated with embryonic stem cells. The document emphasized the need for further research to optimize stem cell-based therapies, noting the promising future of these therapies in regenerative medicine and their potential to reduce economic burdens associated with chronic wound care.

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

      community My Theory Of Androgenic Alopecia

      in Research/Science  17 upvotes 3 weeks ago
      Hair loss is linked to cellular physiology and the IGF-1 to TGF-B1 ratio, not just androgen sensitivity. The theory lacks evidence, while finasteride and minoxidil are effective treatments.

      community A concise, easy-to-understand post on Androgenic Alopecia theory and its practical applications

      in Research/Science  92 upvotes 3 years ago
      The mechanism of Androgenic Alopecia and practical applications of treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, RU58841, dermarolling, scalp massages, anti-fungals, progesterone, estrogen, PPAR-γ activators, reducing oxidative stress, and scalp exercises. It explains why DHT is important in AA and how other factors might be involved such as hypoxia, increased DKK-1 expression, morphological changes to the scalp, skull growth during childhood/puberty, and blood flow.

      community Hair theory Scar tissue and Verteporfin

      in Chat  24 upvotes 1 year ago
      A user suggests that deeper microneedling with Verteporfin injections might help regrow hair in areas with scar tissue, alongside a DHT blocker. Another user explains that hair loss might be due to reduced Wnt/β-Catenin signaling and suggests that treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, and microneedling could potentially reverse it.
