GlossaryArtificial Skin (Engineered Skin)

laboratory-created substitute mimicking natural human skin functions

Artificial skin, also known as synthetic skin or bioengineered skin, is a laboratory-created substitute designed to mimic the properties and functions of natural human skin. It is often used in medical treatments for burn victims, chronic wounds, and other skin injuries, providing a temporary or permanent covering that promotes healing and reduces the risk of infection. This engineered tissue can be composed of various materials, including collagen, silicone, and biodegradable polymers, and may incorporate living cells to enhance integration with the patient's own tissue.

community Topical T3 study - 1000% Growth. Anyone tried it?

in Research/Science 106 upvotes 3 years ago

The conversation discusses using T3 (triiodothyronine) as a topical treatment for hair growth, with some users noting it showed promising results in studies but lacked follow-up. Users express interest in trying T3 due to its potential effectiveness compared to Minoxidil.

community Has anyone tried Exosomes from Musely or somewhere else?

in Hair Systems 7 upvotes 2 months ago

Exosomes from Musely are being discussed as a topical hair loss treatment containing ingredients like latanoprost, caffeine, cetirizine, melatonin, vitamin D3, vitamin E, and biotin. Users are curious about its effectiveness and potential side effects, noting it may take 4-6 months to see results.

Compressed part of research of theory of androgenic/anabolitic balance. AGA h-responders analytic. Theory of physio-metabolitic method of anti AGA treatment

community Compressed part of research of theory of androgenic/anabolitic balance. AGA h-responders analytic. Theory of physio-metabolitic method of anti AGA treatment

in Research 865 upvotes 7 months ago

The treatment for androgenetic alopecia involves using finasteride and minoxidil with intense exercise and cold exposure to boost metabolism and reduce androgenic effects, potentially leading to hair regrowth. This approach may activate biological pathways for improved hair and overall health.

community So we have 20k dollars human like machines available but no new effective treatment for hairloss since finasteride :)

in Chat 237 upvotes 7 months ago

There have been no new effective hair loss treatments since finasteride, despite technological advancements. Current treatments include finasteride, minoxidil, and RU58841, with ongoing challenges and potential future solutions in research.
