Scientists found the best time to transplanthuman stem cells for hair growth is between days 16-18 when they have the right markers and growth potential.
A human trial of verteporfin, a drug that can inhibit wound healing by scarring and promote regeneration of original tissue and hair follicles to provide an unlimited source for hairtransplants; people discussed the potential of this drug and how it could be rolled out in mainstream with more doctors getting on board.
Verteporfin shows promise in donor hair regeneration after 84 days. Combining Finasteride, Minoxidil, and Pyrilutamide with unlimited hairtransplants is seen as a potential near-cure for hair loss.
Transplanting mice skin to humans is not feasible due to immune rejection, but some suggest genetic modification or immune suppression could make it possible. Xenograft hairtransplants are discouraged.
Topical Metformin shows potential for regenerating hair follicles and minimizing scarring in hairtransplant donor areas, similar to Verteporfin but without its side effects. The discussion suggests considering Metformin for post-hairtransplant care, though more human trials are needed.
User discusses using Verteporfin for hair regrowth after hairtransplant. Replies mention successful follicle regrowth in studies and mice, questioning if it can be replicated in humans.
