5 / 1000+ resultsresearch Capture of Endothelial Cells Under Flow Using Immobilized Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor
A surface with VEGF can specifically capture endothelial cells from flowing fluids.
research C-Reactive Protein Promotes Adhesion of Monocytes to Endothelial Cells via NADPH Oxidase-Mediated Oxidative Stress
C-reactive protein helps monocytes stick to blood vessel cells by causing oxidative stress.
research Effects of the Biomimetic Peptide Sh-Polypeptide 9 (CG-VEGF) on Cocultures of Human Hair Follicle Dermal Papilla Cells and Microvascular Endothelial Cells
Sh-Polypeptide 9 may be better than minoxidil for hair growth and protection against damage.
research Dermal-Epidermal Cross-Talk: Differential Interactions With Microvascular Endothelial Cells
Human dermal fibroblasts help microvascular endothelial cells grow, but not vice versa.
research Serenoa Repens and N-Acetyl Glucosamine/Milk Proteins Complex Differentially Affect the Paracrine Communication Between Endothelial and Follicle Dermal Papilla Cells
Serenoa repens and N-acetyl glucosamine/milk proteins complex may help with hair growth and prevent hair loss.

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 New and Interesting HairLoss Studies/Papers/Reviews
Hair loss treatments discussed include Dutasteride with Ketoconazole, tissue engineering strategies, and androgenetic alopecia therapies. Massage doubles follicular retention, improving treatment effectiveness.
community The Korean began to suspect something. But they understood the mechanism to some extent. ( Cold shock therapy promotes hair growth in association with upregulation of cold-inducible RNA-binding protein and vascular endothelial growth factor)
Cold shock therapy may promote hair growth by stimulating follicular muscles and affecting stem cells. The exact mechanisms and full range of elements involved are not yet fully understood.
community Do you keep gains if you stop microneedling?
Stopping microneedling may result in losing hair gains, as it enhances the effectiveness of treatments like minoxidil. Combining microneedling with minoxidil and finasteride is more effective than using microneedling alone.
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.
