research A Fibrous Hybrid Patch Couples Cell-Derived Matrix and Poly(L-Lactide-Co-Caprolactone) for Endothelial Cells Delivery and Skin Wound Repair
The new patch made of cell matrix and a polymer improves wound healing and supports blood vessel growth.
research Corneal Endothelial Cell Fate Is Maintained by LGR5 Through the Regulation of Hedgehog and Wnt Pathways
LGR5 helps maintain corneal cell characteristics and prevents unwanted changes by controlling specific cell signaling pathways.
research The Effect of Minoxidil on Endothelial Cells
Minoxidil temporarily stops endothelial cell growth without major changes in protein production or movement.
research In Vitro Biomimetic Platforms Featuring a Perfusion System and 3D Spheroid Culture Promote the Construction of Tissue-Engineered Corneal Endothelial Layers
Using a perfusion system and 3D spheroid culture improves the growth of corneal cell layers for tissue engineering.
research VEGF Upregulates VEGF Receptor-2 on Human Outer Root Sheath Cells and Stimulates Proliferation Through ERK Pathway

Hair loss treatments discussed include Dutasteride with Ketoconazole, tissue engineering strategies, and androgenetic alopecia therapies. Massage doubles follicular retention, improving treatment effectiveness.
community SAFFLOWER OIL good alternative for Minoxidil?
Safflower oil is suggested as an alternative to minoxidil for hair growth, with benefits including scalp conditioning and hair strength enhancement. Studies indicate it may also reverse scalp dermatitis, alopecia, and prevent premature grayness.
community Comprehensive Microneedling Guide
Microneedling for hair restoration involves daily use of a 0.3 mm device and weekly use of a 0.5 mm device. Combining microneedling with Minoxidil can enhance hair growth.
community Being Safe on Oral Minoxidil: tl;dr on the literature.
Oral minoxidil is effective for hair loss but can cause cardiovascular side effects, such as pericardial effusion, especially in those with genetic predispositions. Starting with low doses and monitoring cardiovascular health are advised to reduce risks.
community How do athletes maintain their hair transplants? Or do they not?
Athletes often use finasteride to maintain hair transplants, but some avoid it due to potential hormonal effects. Notable examples include Mo Salah and Conor McGregor, while LeBron James has had multiple procedures with varying success.
