    field creating artificial skin to replace damaged or diseased skin

    Skin Tissue Engineering is a field of biomedical engineering that focuses on creating artificial skin or skin substitutes to replace damaged or diseased skin. This involves using a combination of cells, biomaterials, and biochemical factors to construct skin layers that can mimic the structure and function of natural skin, aiding in wound healing and treating conditions like burns or chronic ulcers.

      Hair loss treatments discussed include Dutasteride with Ketoconazole, tissue engineering strategies, and androgenetic alopecia therapies. Massage doubles follicular retention, improving treatment effectiveness.

      community Verteporfin and Microneedling

      in Treatments 6 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.
