    GlossaryApoptotic Cells (Programmed Cell Death Cells)

    cells undergoing controlled self-destruction to maintain tissue health

    Apoptotic cells are cells that are undergoing apoptosis, which is a form of programmed cell death. This process is a natural and controlled way for the body to remove damaged, unnecessary, or potentially harmful cells without causing inflammation. Apoptosis is crucial for maintaining healthy tissue function and development, and its dysregulation can lead to diseases such as cancer or autoimmune disorders.

      community Fats on your Head to Stop Hair Loss?

      in Research/Science  143 upvotes 7 months ago
      The conversation discusses the potential of long-chain unsaturated fatty acids, like oleic and linoleic acid, as an additional treatment for hair loss, which may inhibit the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone to DHT and promote hair growth. Users humorously suggest using oils topically and discuss other hair loss treatments, but the main focus is on the science behind fatty acids and their role in hair health.

      in Microneedling  287 upvotes 2 years ago
      Microneedling for hair restoration involves daily use of a 0.3 mm device and weekly use of a 0.5 mm device. Combining microneedling with Minoxidil can enhance hair growth.

      community Verteporfin and Microneedling

      in Treatments 3 months ago
      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.
