research Elastic tissue in scars and alopecia
This study found that the Verhoeff-Van Gieson stain effectively distinguishes scarred from non-scarred dermis and aids in classifying types of permanent alopecia based on elastic tissue patterns.
research Elastic Staining in Differentiating Between Follicular Streamers and Follicular Scars in Horizontal Scalp Biopsy Sections
This study found that the Elastic Verhoeff–Van Gieson stain may help differentiate between follicular streamers and scars in cicatricial and noncicatricial alopecias by highlighting differences in the elastic fiber network on horizontal scalp biopsy sections.
research Development of novel wound dressing based on elastin-like recombinamers for skin regeneration
This study found that elastin-like recombinamer (ELR) wound dressings promote tissue regeneration and stability without rejection in ex vivo and in vivo models, indicating potential for hard-to-heal wound treatment.
research Skin, Genetic Defects, and Aging
This article discusses the structure and function of the skin's epidermis, detailing its role as a protective barrier and nutrient exchange system, without presenting new research findings.

5 / 58 resultscommunity Finasteride and “anti-aging” effects
Finasteride may help users look younger by suppressing DHT, affecting skin and hair. Users also emphasize skincare, sunscreen, and lifestyle for maintaining a youthful appearance.
community Minoxidil inhibits lysyl hydroxylase which is needed to produce collagen. If I take 2,5...5 mg of minoxidil every day can I cause my skin to age prematurely?
Oral minoxidil is effective for hair loss and unlikely to significantly affect collagen synthesis, making it a safe option without causing premature skin aging. Users report positive hair regrowth without noticeable skin aging.
community So does oral minoxidil age your skin or not
Oral minoxidil may cause dry skin and dark eye bags but doesn't significantly age the skin. Topical minoxidil is toxic to cats, and some users prefer finasteride.
community Does finasteride/dutasteride reverse aging?
Finasteride and dutasteride can improve skin texture and reduce acne by lowering DHT but do not reverse aging. They may enhance skin and hair health for some, but can also cause side effects like dry skin and sexual dysfunction.
community Why do you take finasteride instead of dutasteride and also vice versa
Finasteride is preferred for its shorter half-life and FDA approval, while dutasteride is seen as more effective but not FDA-approved for hair loss. Many combine these with minoxidil for improved results, though side effects and effectiveness vary.
