GlossaryHair Follicle Mesenchymal Stem Cells (HF-MSCs)

cells in hair follicles that can become various tissue types

Hair Follicle Mesenchymal Stem Cells (HF-MSCs) are a type of stem cell found within the hair follicle that have the ability to differentiate into various cell types, including those that form skin, hair, and connective tissues. These cells play a crucial role in hair growth, wound healing, and tissue regeneration, making them a significant focus in regenerative medicine and treatments for conditions like alopecia.

research ECM1 modified HF-MSCs targeting HSC attenuate liver cirrhosis by inhibiting the TGF-β/Smad signaling pathway

18 citations, February 2022 in “Cell Death Discovery”

The study demonstrates that ECM1-modified hair follicle-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ECM1-HF-MSCs) can effectively treat liver cirrhosis by inhibiting the TGF-β/Smad signaling pathway, which is crucial in liver fibrosis. Using a mouse model of liver cirrhosis induced by CCl4, the research shows that ECM1-HF-MSCs improve liver function and reduce liver injury more effectively than naïve HF-MSCs. These modified cells migrate to the liver, express hepatocyte-specific markers, and significantly inhibit hepatic stellate cell activation. The findings suggest that ECM1-HF-MSCs offer a promising therapeutic approach for liver cirrhosis through genetic modification.

PBX Homeobox 1 Enhances Hair Follicle Mesenchymal Stem Cell Proliferation and Reprogramming Through Activation of the AKT/Glycogen Synthase Kinase Signaling Pathway and Suppression of Apoptosis

research PBX Homeobox 1 Enhances Hair Follicle Mesenchymal Stem Cell Proliferation and Reprogramming Through Activation of the AKT/Glycogen Synthase Kinase Signaling Pathway and Suppression of Apoptosis

26 citations, August 2019 in “Stem Cell Research & Therapy”

PBX1 helps hair stem cells grow and change by turning on certain cell signals and preventing cell death, which may be useful for hair regrowth treatments.

community Minoxidil actually reduces wrinkles

in Research/Science 208 upvotes 3 days ago

Minoxidil may improve or worsen skin quality, with topical forms causing dryness and wrinkles, possibly due to alcohol content, while oral forms have fewer side effects. Some users consider using tretinoin to mitigate negative effects.

community Can somebody tell my why Scube3 is not going to work?

in Research/Science 8 upvotes 6 months ago

The conversation discusses concerns about Scube3's effectiveness and potential cancer link. It questions whether Scube3 can regrow hair and how well it works according to researchers.

community Hair follicle cloning is already possible

in Chat 38 upvotes 2 months ago

Hair follicle cloning is claimed to be possible but not widely available due to potential safety issues, such as cancer risks. Current treatments like finasteride and dutasteride are not effective for everyone, and there is frustration over limited access to these medications.

community Do hair follicles dies or are dormant ?

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 92 upvotes 3 weeks ago

Hair follicles can be dormant and potentially revived with treatments like finasteride and minoxidil, but irreversible loss occurs if certain structures are destroyed. Early intervention is more effective, and additional methods like microneedling may help.

community Diffuse hair loss and scalp biopsies

in Research 692 upvotes 4 months ago

Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
