research Langerin+ Dendritic Cells in Cutaneous Fibrosis: The TGF-β1 Signaling Axis
This study synthesizes knowledge of how dendritic cell signals, epithelial integrins, and fibroblast activity converge on TGF-β1 to maintain or disrupt skin healing, contrasting normal and fibrotic scar formation and suggesting possible integrin and immune-targeted treatments for skin fibrosis.
research Scar Inhibition in Wound Healing: Mechanisms, Design, and Recent Advances

5 / 300 resultscommunity So did the experiments with verteporfin for hair transplant scarring regrowth fall through?
Verteporfin reduces scar tissue in hair transplants but doesn't significantly regrow hair follicles. More testing is needed to determine its effectiveness.
community Can pp405 revive dead follicles for long time bald people? Are those even dead? After 10+ years bald
PP405 may revive dormant hair follicles but is unlikely to help with long-term baldness where follicles are replaced by scar tissue. It is seen as a potential adjunct to treatments like minoxidil and finasteride, but its effectiveness on deeply fibrotic or scarred areas is doubtful.
community 3 months in on 1mg oral fin and 5% topical min twice daily
The user has made significant hair growth progress in 3 months using 1mg oral finasteride and 5% topical minoxidil twice daily, with plans to start 1.25mg oral minoxidil. The user is considering a hair transplant in 1-2 years and is cautious about using a dermastamp to avoid scar tissue.
community Another transplant or SMP? (Not balding)
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?
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.
