Wound Repair at a Glance

    September 2009 in “ Journal of Cell Science ”
    Tanya J. Shaw, Paul Martin
    TLDR Wound healing is a complex, multi-phase process involving various cells and activities to repair skin damage.
    The document provided an overview of the wound repair process, detailing the stages of healing from the initial response to skin injury to the resolution phase. It described the formation of a fibrin clot, the role of leukocytes and immune cells in the inflammatory response, and the importance of angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis. The proliferation phase involved keratinocytes and fibroblasts in closing the wound and forming new tissue. The article highlighted the challenges of regenerating epidermal appendages like hair follicles within scars and noted that inflammation might aid re-growth through Wnt signaling. It also discussed the resolution of the inflammatory response and the potential for fibrosis due to imperfect regulation. The document emphasized the significance of understanding genetic, cellular, and epigenetic mechanisms in wound healing to improve clinical outcomes.

      community Verteporfin and Microneedling

      in Treatments 1 year 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.

      community New Study Fails to Show Benefits of Microneedling in Males with Balding.

      in Treatment  157 upvotes 1 year ago
      A new study suggests microneedling alone doesn't benefit male balding, but users argue the study's methods differ from common practices, like combining microneedling with minoxidil and using more frequent treatments. Some believe the study's short duration and infrequent sessions are inadequate to assess microneedling's effectiveness.
