    TLDR The skin has different types of stem cells that can repair and regenerate tissue.
    The document from 2012 discussed the existence of several distinct stem cell populations in different compartments of the skin. These included hair follicle bulge epithelial stem cells, distinct populations of stem cells in the interfollicular epidermis and sebaceous glands, and mesenchymal stem cells in the dermis and adipose tissue. These stem cells were noted for their self-renewal capacity and their ability to undergo multi-lineage differentiation. These properties were being exploited therapeutically for tissue repair, regenerative medicine, and stem cell transplantation.

      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.

      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.

      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.
