community Another molecular pathway to promote scarless healing and regenerate hair follicles

14 upvotes 8 months ago

Carnosic acid in rosemary extract may enhance skin repair and promote hair follicle regeneration. It could be used alone or with verteporfin for scarless healing after dermal wounding.

community New Preprint: Retinoic Acid Supports Verteporfin-Induced Regeneration

17 upvotes 3 months ago

Verteporfin followed by retinoic acid improves wound regeneration in mini-pigs. Retinoic acid does not significantly enhance regeneration in rabbits.

community Published in Nature: Osteopontin, a protein involved in the growth of hair on moles could be the key to our troubles.

13 upvotes 3 years ago

Osteopontin, a protein involved in hair growth on moles, may help with hair loss. However, it is also linked to Alzheimer's, cancer, and bone development, so caution is advised.

community IGF-1 and Peptides? Miracle molecule waiting to be found

10 upvotes 1 year ago

The conversation discusses potential hair loss treatments focusing on stimulating IGF-1 at the follicle level using growth-factor cocktails and engineered peptides, such as Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3, Copper Tripeptide-1, Oligopeptide-20, Thymosin-β4, and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7. It suggests that device-assisted delivery methods like microneedling may enhance effectiveness.

community Injectable and biofunctionalized fibrin hydrogels co-embedded with stem cells induce hair follicle genesis.

5 upvotes 3 years ago

Fibrin-based hydrogels support stem cells for hair follicle regeneration, showing promise for treating alopecia and wound healing. They enhance cell viability, maintain stemness, and promote hair and tissue regeneration without teratoma formation.

community The Real Cause Of Androgenetic Alopecia

675 upvotes 1 year ago

Androgenetic alopecia is caused by DHT affecting hair growth. Finasteride and minoxidil are used to manage hair loss by blocking DHT and promoting hair growth.
