research Skin And Hair On-A-Chip: In Vitro Skin Models Versus Ex Vivo Tissue Maintenance With Dynamic Perfusion
The Multi-Organ-Chip improves the growth and quality of skin and hair in the lab, potentially replacing animal testing.
research Proceedings of the Heinz Maurer-Symposium: Review and Preview in Science for Healthy Skin, June 28, 2014, Jakobsberg, Boppard, Germany
The symposium concluded that environmental factors significantly contribute to skin aging.
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 Transdermal Permeation of Drugs in Various Animal Species
Pig skin is a good substitute for human skin to measure drug absorption, but differences in skin structure and enzymes across species must be considered.
research Multifaceted Role of Hair Follicle Dermal Cells in Bioengineered Skins
Human hair follicle dermal cells can effectively replace other cells in engineered skin.

Peptides like TB500, KPV, GHK-CU, and BPC-157 are overhyped for hair growth with limited proven effectiveness in humans. Combining peptides with delivery methods like iontophoresis and sonophoresis shows promise, but many claims remain unproven.
community ghk-cu is potent 5-ar inhibitor?
GHK-Cu is a potent inhibitor of the type 1 5-alpha reductase enzyme in hair follicles, which may reduce hair loss without the side effects associated with type 2 5-alpha reductase inhibitors. The user previously experienced side effects with 5-alpha reductase inhibitors and is considering GHK-Cu as an alternative.
community 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 A concise, easy-to-understand post on Androgenic Alopecia theory and its practical applications
The mechanism of Androgenic Alopecia and practical applications of treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, RU58841, dermarolling, scalp massages, anti-fungals, progesterone, estrogen, PPAR-γ activators, reducing oxidative stress, and scalp exercises. It explains why DHT is important in AA and how other factors might be involved such as hypoxia, increased DKK-1 expression, morphological changes to the scalp, skull growth during childhood/puberty, and blood flow.
community FCE 28260: A Forgotten 5α-Reductase Inhibitor
FCE 28260 (PNU 156765), an under-explored 5α-reductase inhibitor, showcases promising results in research by Giudici et al., outperforming well-known treatments like Finasteride in reducing the conversion of testosterone to DHT. Its superior efficacy, demonstrated through lower IC50 values in both natural and human recombinant enzyme studies, suggests it could offer more effective management of DHT-related conditions. Additionally, its lower molecular weight hints at better potential for topical application, potentially offering advantages in treating conditions such as androgenic alopecia. Despite its potential, it has not advanced in development, possibly due to financial limitations, leaving its therapeutic prospects and side effect profile largely unexplored.
