5 / 1000+ resultsresearch In vitro strategies for mimicking dynamic cell–ECM reciprocity in 3D culture models
The conclusion is that accurately replicating the complexity of the extracellular matrix in the lab is crucial for creating realistic human tissue models.
research Culture of the human pilosebaceous unit, hair follicle and sebaceous gland
The article concludes that developing in vitro models for human hair structures is important for research and reducing animal testing, but there are challenges like obtaining suitable samples and the models' limitations.
research Bioengineered skin organoids: from development to applications
Scientists have improved 3D models of human skin for research and medical uses, but still face challenges in perfectly replicating real skin.
research The role of 3Rs in the age of One Health: where we are and where we’re going
Innovative methods are reducing animal testing and improving biomedical research.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Looks like a real cure to the root of baldness (DHT-induced senescence) was proven earlier this year
A study that outlines the full model for androgenic alopecia (AGA) which links DHT to cellular senescence in dermal papilla cells, and suggests black chokeberry as a source of cyanidin 3-O-arabinoside polyphenol with potential anti-oxidant properties that could reverse this process. The post encourages reaching out to experts in anti-aging and longevity to research treatments involving the polyphenol.
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 A meta analysis of 18 popular hair loss treatments. An 2022 guide on efficacy. From finasteride and minoxidil to caffeine shampoo, saw palmetto and biotin. 96 Scientific References included.
Most hair loss treatments are ineffective; only finasteride, dutasteride, and minoxidil show effectiveness.
community Optimal topical (leave in, not shampoo) caffeine concentration. Contradictions across studies.
One study suggests a 0.2% caffeine concentration is nearly as effective as 5% minoxidil for hair loss, while other findings indicate that concentrations between 0.001% and 0.005% are more effective, with 0.001% being the most effective. There is no clear consensus on the optimal caffeine concentration for hair loss treatment.
community Ted Kaczynski had more hair than all you mfs before his death at 81
The conversation is about hair loss and the conclusion is that genetics play a significant role in hair loss, and lifestyle choices or being a well-adjusted person do not prevent male pattern baldness.
