    TLDR Stem cells are crucial for skin repair and new treatments for chronic wounds.
    The document discussed the critical role of stem cells in skin homeostasis, regeneration, and wound healing. It highlighted that stem cells in the epidermis and hair follicles are essential for maintaining skin integrity and repairing damaged tissue. Chronic wounds often result from stem cell depletion and other poorly understood mechanisms, and current therapies are limited. The review explored the potential of adult stem cells, particularly epidermal stem cells, in developing new therapeutic strategies for non-healing wounds and other skin disorders. It also examined how skin tissue-engineered products could be optimized for better cutaneous repair and regeneration.

      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.

      Treatments for hair loss, including finasteride, dutasteride, minoxidil, ketoconazole, microneedling, and low level laser light therapy, which aim to reduce DHT production, increase cell absorption and blood flow, and stimulate epidermal stem cells. It also stresses the importance of patience when using these treatments.

      A potential treatment for hair loss that involves injecting fat into the scalp; the role of testosterone and estrogen in thinning fat tissue under the skin; research on using lard to treat androgenic alopecia, as well as PRP + ACELL/amniotic stem cell treatments; and ongoing clinical trials by doctors involved in the study.
