A breakthrough in hair follicle cultivation using induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) has been achieved, producing large hair follicles suitable for transplantation. Clinical trials for this hair multiplication technology are planned in partnership with Yinguan Biotechnology.

community When will FAK Inhibitors / Standford Hydrogel be on the market for hair transplants?

9 upvotes 8 months ago

The conversation discusses the delay in bringing FAK inhibitors and Stanford's hydrogel to market for hair transplants, with a preference for FAK inhibitors over Verteporfin due to their superior potential in preventing scarring. The user expresses frustration over the slow progress and hopes for faster development by companies like FAKnostics.

community Verteporfin and Microneedling

in Treatments 2 years 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.
