research A partially automated method for DNA extraction from marmoset hair follicles to avoid blood chimerism

September 2025 in “Frontiers in Genetics”

This study developed a non-invasive, partially automated protocol for extracting high-quality DNA from hair follicles of marmosets, significantly reducing chimerism rates compared to blood, and proving reliable for whole genome sequencing in low-input DNA scenarios.

research Clinical effects of follicle unit extraction and transplantation combined with topical recombinant bovine basic fibroblast growth factor and minoxidil in the treatment of secondary cicatricial alopecia

August 2021 in “Chinese journal of burns”

This study found that combining FUE transplantation with rb-bFGF gel and minoxidil tincture significantly improved hair survival, reduced hair loss, and increased patient satisfaction in cicatricial alopecia treatment, compared to FUE alone, with fewer adverse effects reported within 12 months post-surgery.

research New Methodology and Instrumentation for Follicular Unit Extraction: Lower Follicle Transection Rates and Expanded Patient Candidacy

30 citations , June 2008 in “Dermatologic Surgery”

In this study, the SAFE System for follicular unit extraction demonstrated a favorable average follicle transection rate of 6.14% and is accessible for physicians with basic technical skills, showing promise for wider adoption.

research Data Sheet 1_A partially automated method for DNA extraction from marmoset hair follicles to avoid blood chimerism.docx

September 2025 in “OPAL (Open@LaTrobe) (La Trobe University)”

This study developed a partially automated protocol utilizing hair follicles for DNA extraction in marmosets, achieving reliable whole genome sequencing with low chimerism, offering an efficient alternative to blood for genetic studies in non-human primates.

research Table 1_A partially automated method for DNA extraction from marmoset hair follicles to avoid blood chimerism.xlsx

September 2025 in “OPAL (Open@LaTrobe) (La Trobe University)”

In this study, researchers developed a non-invasive, partially automated protocol for extracting DNA from marmoset hair follicles, resulting in high-quality whole genome sequencing with low chimerism levels, making it a reliable method compared to blood DNA sequencing in these primates.

learn Hair Transplant

Surgery that moves hair follicles from the back of the scalp to thinning areas

What is Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) in hair transplants? Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is a minimally invasive hair transplant method that extracts individual hair follicles.
Does hair grow back in the donor area after a hair transplant? Hair does not grow back in the donor area after extraction during a hair transplant.

learn Scalp Micropigmentation

Will scalp micropigmentation damage my existing hair or follicles? Providers say SMP sits above the hair follicles and does not harm them. No study has tested this, and infection or scarring from any tattoo can affect the skin.

learn Redensyl

Does Redensyl regenerate follicles or only strengthen existing hair? No independent study has shown that Redensyl regenerates follicles or strengthens hair; the only human data are a small, unpublished manufacturer study.

learn Sulforaphane

Can sulforaphane protect hair follicles from inflammation and damage? In lab and mouse studies, sulforaphane reduced markers of inflammation and oxidative stress. No human study has tested whether it protects hair follicles.

community Why do Hair Transplant procedures take a rectangle from the donated area?

in Transplants 6 upvotes 2 months ago

Hair transplants typically involve spreading follicle extraction across the back and sides of the head to maintain an even appearance, rather than taking a solid rectangle of grafts. FUT procedures, which involve taking a strip of skin, are less common now due to advancements in techniques like FUE, which heal well and are less invasive.

community What Are the Technicalities of Curved Hair Transplantation?

4 upvotes 6 months ago

Curved hair transplantation requires specialized tools and techniques to avoid damaging hair follicles, with modified FUE being the preferred method. Proper extraction and implantation angles are crucial to prevent complications like keloids and sterile folliculitis.

community Fully functional hair follicle regeneration through the rearrangement of stem cells and their niches

4 upvotes 11 years ago

Hair follicle regeneration through stem cell rearrangement is discussed, focusing on bioengineered cellular structures rather than traditional hair transplants. Treatments mentioned include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.

community What is this pigmentation around my follicles?

in Chat 29 upvotes 1 year ago

The conversation discusses potential causes of pigmentation around hair follicles, suggesting sebum buildup, autoimmune conditions, or dermatitis. Treatments mentioned include finasteride, dutasteride, and an anti-inflammatory diet, with a recommendation to consult a doctor for a proper diagnosis.

community Riken develops new method for culturing hair follicles

41 upvotes 8 years ago

A new stem cell method for culturing hair follicles is being developed as an alternative to Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841. There are concerns about its cost and accessibility despite plans for commercialization.
