research An ERK-Dependent Molecular Switch Antagonizes Fibrosis And Promotes Regeneration In Spiny Mice (Acomys)
A specific molecular switch, driven by MAPK/ERK signaling, helps spiny mice heal wounds by regenerating skin instead of forming scars.
research Diverse Cellular Players Orchestrate Regeneration After Wounding
Different cell types work together to repair skin, and targeting them may improve healing and reduce scarring.
research The Secretome of Irradiated Peripheral Mononuclear Cells Attenuates Hypertrophic Skin Scarring
PBMCsec can help reduce and improve thick skin scars.
research Hydrogel Crosslinking Modulates Macrophages, Fibroblasts, And Their Communication During Wound Healing
Softer hydrogels help wounds heal better with less scarring.
research Matrisomal Components Involved in Regenerative Wound Healing in Axolotl and Acomys: Implications for Biomaterial Development
Certain genes are more active during wound healing in axolotl and Acomys, which could help develop materials that improve human wound healing and regeneration.

5 / 403 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 scarring alopecia awareness in this community
Lichen Planopilaris (LPP), a form of permanent hair loss, which can be mistaken for seborrheic dermatitis and is characterized by scalp itching, burning, redness, and dandruff. Treatment options discussed include steroidal creams, finasteride, minoxidil, and RU58841.
community TE turned into Scarring hairloss
The user experienced hair loss due to a crash diet and later developed scarring hair loss. They are now on finasteride, oral minoxidil, LDN, Zyrtec, and Oztela to reduce scalp inflammation and promote hair regrowth.
community Starting Treatment for CCCA (scarring alopecia)
A male in his early 20s with CCCA (scarring alopecia) started treatment with Finasteride, Fluocinolone, and Doxycycline. Steroid injections were suggested but not yet done.
community 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.
