Glossary Cell Migration

process where cells move to different locations in the body

Cell migration, also known as cell movement or cell motility, is the process by which cells move from one location to another within an organism. This is crucial for various biological processes, including wound healing, immune responses, and embryonic development. Cells achieve this movement through a complex interplay of signaling pathways, cytoskeletal dynamics, and interactions with their surrounding environment.

research Defining stem cell dynamics and migration during wound healing in mouse skin epidermis

363 citations , March 2017 in “Nature Communications”

This study found that, in mouse tail epidermis, stem cells rapidly activate and regenerate new progenitors to repair wounds, with mechanisms affecting their proliferation, differentiation, and migration.

research Tcf3 promotes cell migration and wound repair through regulation of lipocalin 2

55 citations , June 2014 in “Nature Communications”

This study found that overexpression of the transcription factor Tcf3 accelerates keratinocyte migration and skin wound healing in mice, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic target for wound repair.

research Tenascin-C and tenascin-W in whisker follicle stem cell niches: possible roles in regulating stem cell proliferation and migration

25 citations , January 2013 in “Journal of Cell Science”

This study suggests that glycoproteins tenascin-C and tenascin-W may influence the migration and proliferation of CD34-positive stem cells in mouse whisker follicles.

research β1 Integrin Signaling Maintains Human Epithelial Progenitor Cell Survival In Situ and Controls Proliferation, Apoptosis and Migration of Their Progeny

20 citations , December 2013 in “PLoS ONE”

This study found that β1 integrin-mediated signaling is crucial for the survival, adhesion, and migration of epithelial progenitor cells in human scalp hair follicles, with varying responses observed among cell subpopulations.

research Wound Healing Effect of Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Datura metel L. Leaves Extracts: An In Vitro Study of Anti-Inflammation, Cell Migration, MMP-2 Inhibition, and the Modulation of the Sonic Hedgehog Pathway in Human Fibroblasts

6 citations , July 2023 in “Plants”

This study found that Datura metel extracts obtained through supercritical CO2 extraction demonstrated significant biological activity, including antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, and effectively promoted wound closure and collagen preservation, comparable to standard treatments, in laboratory experiments.

learn Stem Cell Factor

What is stem cell factor and why is it used in hair growth treatments? Stem cell factor is a signalling protein linked to hair colour in lab and mouse studies; it is not a proven hair-loss treatment in people.
Does stem cell factor help activate dormant hair follicles? Lab and mouse studies link stem cell factor to hair colour; it has not been shown to reactivate dormant hair follicles in people.
Are stem cell factor products safe for long-term scalp use? Long-term safety of stem cell factor scalp products has not been studied in people; the one human trial of injected stem cell factor reported skin reactions and lasting dark patches.

community Eirion Therapeutics Announces Potential Breakthrough Treatment for Hair Loss Based on First-in-Man Clinical Trial Results

in Update 415 upvotes 1 year ago

ET-02, a new hair loss treatment, shows promising results with a 6-fold increase in hair count, potentially outperforming minoxidil by activating stem cells in hair follicles. Further trials are ongoing to confirm its efficacy and safety, with potential market release in the future.

community Amplifica: Hope or Cope? A Review of Their Pipeline

9 upvotes 1 month ago

Amplifica's AMP-303 showed a modest increase in hair growth, but results were inconsistent and potentially misleading. Hyaluronic acid and osteopontin are being explored for hair growth, with varying effects on different hair types and conditions.

community Making your own RT1640 in China

4 years ago

RT1640, a combination of cyclosporin A, minoxidil, and RT175, is discussed as a potential treatment for hair regrowth and repigmentation. The unique formulation aims to enhance hair follicle growth and restore hair pigment without the negative side effects of immunosuppressants.

community I'm convinced creatine causes hair loss for me

207 upvotes 7 months ago

Creatine is believed by some to cause hair loss, potentially by increasing DHT levels, despite conflicting evidence. Users report mixed results when combining creatine with treatments like finasteride, dutasteride, and minoxidil.

community It's sad how many guys shave because they don't know

2209 upvotes 1 year ago

Finasteride and dutasteride can prevent hair loss if used early, but they may cause side effects. Many men shave their heads because they are unaware of these treatments or avoid them due to side effects or cost.
