research Modulation of Macrophage Functions by ECM-Inspired Wound Dressings – A Promising Therapeutic Approach for Chronic Wounds
ECM-inspired wound dressings can help heal chronic wounds by controlling macrophage activity.

Activin increases skin tumor formation, skin Tregs help hair growth, lymph-node removal doesn't improve melanoma survival, cells can revert to stem cells in wound healing, and skin bacteria produce peptides that may treat infections.
research Nanomaterials Applied in Wound Healing: Mechanisms, Limitations, and Perspectives
Nanomaterials can significantly improve wound healing and future treatments may include smart, real-time monitoring.
research Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Derived Apoptotic Extracellular Vesicles Ameliorate Cutaneous Wound Healing in Type 2 Diabetic Mice via Macrophage Pyroptosis Inhibition
Special particles from umbilical cord stem cells help heal skin wounds in diabetic mice by preventing certain immune cell death.
research Axolotl-Derived Decellularized Skin ECM as a Pro-Regenerative Scaffold for Attenuating Fibrotic Wound Healing
The study investigates the use of axolotl-derived decellularized extracellular matrix (A-dECM) as a scaffold to enhance regenerative healing and reduce fibrosis in burn wounds. In vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrated that A-dECM supports cell proliferation, accelerates wound closure, and improves skin architecture by reducing inflammatory and fibrotic markers. A-dECM modulates the immune environment by promoting M2 macrophage signals, leading to enhanced re-epithelialization and organized collagen remodeling. The study concludes that A-dECM has potential as a therapeutic scaffold for skin regeneration, although challenges such as scalable production and regulatory approval need to be addressed before clinical application.

4 / 4 resultscommunity 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.
community You will lose hair if your prostaglandins aren't in balance
Prostaglandin balance affects hair loss, particularly in conditions like Lichen Planopilaris, where an imbalance can lead to hair follicle damage. Treatments mentioned include prostaglandin analogs and Pioglitazone HCL, with a focus on maintaining prostaglandin equilibrium for potential hair regrowth.
community The Worst Hair Loss Condition You (MAY) have: LPP
Lichen Planopilaris (LPP) is an autoimmune condition causing permanent hair loss and fibrosis, often misdiagnosed. Treatments include pioglitazone, topical corticosteroids, anti-inflammatory medication, and Jak inhibitors.
community If You Have DUPA, PLEASE READ THIS: Everyone Should Be Scalp Biopsied
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.
