This study found that grafting split-thickness human skin onto nude mice produces scars that mimic hypertrophic scar characteristics in humans, offering a useful model for studying scar formation and treatments.

Fibromodulin Deficiency Alters Temporospatial Expression Patterns of Transforming Growth Factor-β Ligands and Receptors During Adult Mouse Skin Wound Healing

research Fibromodulin-Deficiency Alters Temporospatial Expression Patterns of Transforming Growth Factor-β Ligands and Receptors during Adult Mouse Skin Wound Healing

32 citations , March 2014 in “PLOS ONE”

This study demonstrates that FMOD deficiency in mice alters TGF-β ligand and receptor expression during wound healing stages, leading to delayed wound closure and increased scar size.

community Another transplant or SMP? (Not balding)

in Transplants 23 upvotes 8 months ago

The user is considering another hair transplant or scalp micropigmentation (SMP) for a congenital bald spot, but previous transplants were less effective due to scar tissue. Suggestions include using hair fibers, changing hairstyles, or doing nothing, as the spot is not very noticeable.

community Why not move miniaturized hair follicles somewhere else to treat them? Alternative to hair cloning?

4 upvotes 1 year ago

Exploring the idea of transplanting miniaturized hair follicles to healthier areas to potentially reverse hair loss, with concerns about DHT sensitivity and scar tissue formation. The conversation also humorously considers using mice for hair growth experiments.

community Why do some people (specially those with diffuse balding) experience more regrowth just with DHT blockers?

in Chat 41 upvotes 1 year ago

Diffuse thinners often experience more hair regrowth with DHT blockers like finasteride, possibly due to less DHT sensitivity and the presence of miniaturized, not completely bald, follicles. However, regrowth varies widely among individuals, influenced by factors like genetics, the stage of hair loss, and treatment methods such as minoxidil, microneedling, and dermarolling.
