Layer-by-Layer self-assembly is promising for biomedical uses like tissue engineering and cell therapy, but challenges remain in material safety and process optimization.
PP405 shows promise for hair follicle reactivation with minimal side effects. Users recommend continuing Minoxidil and Finasteride until more results are confirmed.
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.
HairClone is developing cell replacement treatments to rejuvenate and generate hair follicles, and has launched a crowdfunding campaign. A user expressed skepticism about the need for crowdfunding.
Hair cloning is discussed, focusing on its current status and potential availability. Treatments mentioned include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
A gel of keratin microspheres promotes hair follicle growth, showing similar effectiveness to minoxidil in mice. The treatment activates hair growth pathways and reduces inflammation, with potential applications in drug delivery for hair-related disorders.
