    immune cells in skin that respond to pathogens quickly

    Dermal γδ T cells are a type of immune cell found in the skin. They play a crucial role in the body's defense system by recognizing and responding to pathogens and damaged cells. Unlike the more common αβ T cells, γδ T cells have a unique T-cell receptor that allows them to respond quickly to a wide range of threats, contributing to skin health and wound healing.

      community Looks like a real cure to the root of baldness (DHT-induced senescence) was proven earlier this year

      in Research/Science  734 upvotes 3 years ago
      A study that outlines the full model for androgenic alopecia (AGA) which links DHT to cellular senescence in dermal papilla cells, and suggests black chokeberry as a source of cyanidin 3-O-arabinoside polyphenol with potential anti-oxidant properties that could reverse this process. The post encourages reaching out to experts in anti-aging and longevity to research treatments involving the polyphenol.

      community How true is the statement: dead follicles don't grow back?

      in Research/Science  107 upvotes 9 months ago
      Hair follicles usually go dormant rather than die, and treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and hormone therapy can sometimes reactivate them, though results vary. Complete regrowth is rare, especially in long-term bald areas, but some individuals see significant improvement with these treatments.

      community Anti-oxidants that reverse hairloss?

      in Research/Science  89 upvotes 4 years ago
      Resveratrol and fisetin, found in red wine and strawberries, may promote hair growth by affecting hair follicle cells. Users discuss various treatments, including natural remedies like saw palmetto and topical applications, with mixed opinions on their effectiveness compared to pharmaceuticals like finasteride.

      community My Theory Of Androgenic Alopecia

      in Research/Science  17 upvotes 3 weeks ago
      Hair loss is linked to cellular physiology and the IGF-1 to TGF-B1 ratio, not just androgen sensitivity. The theory lacks evidence, while finasteride and minoxidil are effective treatments.
