Chemicals and stem cells combined have advanced regenerative medicine with few safety concerns, focusing on improving techniques and treatment effectiveness.
November 2008 in “Medical & surgical dermatology” A device was made in 2008 to measure hair loss severity. Other findings include: frizzy mutation in mice isn't related to Fgfr2, C/EBPx marks preadipocytes, Cyclosporin A speeds up hair growth in mice, blocking plasmin and metalloproteinases hinders healing, hyperbaric oxygen helps ischemic wound healing, amniotic membranes heal wounds better than polyurethane foam, rhVEGF165 from a fibrin matrix improves tissue flap viability and induces VEGF-R2 expression, and bFGF enhances wound healing and reduces scarring in rabbits.
June 2008 in “Regenerative Medicine” The book explains the science of tissue repair and regeneration, its medical uses, challenges, and ethical concerns.
January 2024 in “Journal of dermatology and skin science” Topical aprepitant reduces skin rash and hair loss caused by cancer treatment.
Plasma gel and PRP treatments improve skin and hair with minimal side effects.
November 2023 in “European medical journal. Dermatology” PRP can reduce pain and improve function, but more standardized research is needed.
November 2023 in “Research Square (Research Square)” NIR-II imaging effectively tracked stem cells that helped repair facial nerve defects in rats.
September 2023 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” Freezing gamma-irradiated amniotic fluid may help hair growth and speed up the growth phase.
August 2023 in “International journal of medical science and clinical research studies” PRP therapy helps heal pediatric surgical wounds faster and with fewer scars but needs more research for safety and cost.
