HEY2+ cells help regenerate skin during wound healing.
research Epithelial-Mesenchymal Micro-Niches Govern Stem Cell Lineage Choices
Different small areas within hair follicles send specific signals that control what type of cells stem cells become.

5 / 19 resultscommunity Why didn’t Prince William hop on fin/min?
Hair loss discussion explores why Prince William didn't use treatments like finasteride or minoxidil. Reasons include indifference to appearance, potential side effects, and royal responsibilities.
community Why do we have head hair in first place if we evolved to start losing it in some cases as soon as puberty hits
Hair loss is influenced by genetics and sensitivity to hormones like DHT. Treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride are commonly used, and baldness persists as it doesn't affect reproductive success.
community A new meta-analysis of 23 studies has confirmed that 5 milligrams a day of oral dutasteride had the highest probability of reducing male hair loss, followed by 5 milligrams a day of oral finasteride, followed by 5 milligrams of oral minoxidil, followed by 1 milligram a day of oral finasteride
Oral dutasteride (0.5mg) is most effective for male hair loss, followed by oral finasteride (5mg), oral minoxidil (5mg), and oral finasteride (1mg). Different treatments have benefits and side effects, and results don't apply to women's hair loss.
community Is this real chat? Finasteride -> fountain of youth and longevity drug?
Finasteride is discussed as a hair loss treatment with benefits like reduced prostate enlargement and skin aging, but it is not seen as a "fountain of youth." Users report mixed experiences, including side effects like decreased libido and dry eyes.
community Verteporfin and Microneedling
Clinical studies by Dr. Barghouthi and Dr. Bloxham indicate that Verteporfin, when used with FUE and FUT hair transplantation methods, shows promise in hair follicle regeneration and minimal scarring due to its ability to inhibit Yes-associated protein (YAP). Microneedling at depths of 3-3.5mm, combined with Verteporfin, could potentially reactivate dormant follicles, although the optimal dosage and application method are still under investigation. Concerns remain about the DHT sensitivity of regenerated follicles, highlighting the need for further research to optimize trauma levels and Verteporfin concentrations to achieve effective and scar-free hair regeneration.
