research Surface modification and endothelialization of biomaterials as potential scaffolds for vascular tissue engineering applications

421 citations , January 2015 in “Chemical Society Reviews”

This review discusses recent advances in surface modification and endothelialization of biomaterials for vascular grafts, highlighting promising methods like gene engineering and targeting ligand immobilization to improve clinical outcomes.

research Unlocking the versatile potential: Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells in ocular surface reconstruction and oculoplastics

February 2024 in “World journal of stem cells”

This review highlights the potential of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells as a cost-effective solution for tissue restoration and regeneration in ophthalmic and oculoplastic surgeries, addressing unmet needs in reconstructive procedures.

research Effect of Surface Treatments on the Nanomechanical Properties of Human Hair

19 citations , July 2018 in “ACS biomaterials science & engineering”

This study showed that chemical and mechanical treatments significantly alter the nanoscale surface properties of hair, affecting its roughness, mechanical stiffness, adhesion, and surface potential.

research Enhanced skin permeation of 5α-reductase inhibitors entrapped into surface-modified liquid crystalline nanoparticles

16 citations , August 2014 in “Archives of Pharmacal Research”

This study found that surface-modified liquid crystalline nanoparticles significantly enhanced skin permeation of finasteride and dutasteride compared to unmodified nanoparticles, suggesting potential for improved treatment efficacy in androgenetic alopecia.

research Streaming potential analysis of hair variation: Ethnicities and environmental exposures

October 2025 in “International Journal of Cosmetic Science”

This study observed that hair properties vary by ethnicity, influenced by genetic, environmental, and cultural factors, and noted that ethnicity-dependent differences in surface charge and other properties warrant further investigation.

community How can I tell if I have scarring from dermastamping?

10 upvotes 1 month ago

The user is concerned about potential scarring from using a 1.5mm dermastamp for hair loss treatment and is advised to use shallower depths (0.5-0.75mm) and reduce frequency to avoid damage. They also use topical minoxidil and finasteride, and plan to stop stamping temporarily to assess changes.

community Welp - pp405 conference showed nothing

81 upvotes 6 months ago

PP405 shows potential for hair growth by increasing terminal hair and converting vellus hairs, but results are modest and more waiting is needed. It complements existing treatments like minoxidil and finasteride, but won't replace them.

community My Idea for a possible new hairloss treatment

53 upvotes 6 years ago

Exploring a potential hair loss treatment using the enzyme AKR1C2 to locally reduce DHT levels. Challenges include enzyme delivery through the skin and high production costs, with gene therapy or stem cells suggested as future alternatives.

community On crucial details and pitfalls of formulating topical minoxidil

in Minoxidil 363 upvotes 8 months ago

Avoid home-compounding topical minoxidil due to potential risks and complications. Use proper equipment and techniques to prevent aerosolization and ensure effective dissolution.

community Every Single RU58841 Study Analysed - Youtube Video

in Research/Science 11 upvotes 1 year ago

RU58841 is discussed as a potential hair loss treatment, with comparisons to finasteride. There is interest in leaked trial data, but no official clinical validation or approval for RU58841.

learn Neem Oil

Oil from the neem tree, used as a pesticide and in traditional remedies. Human evidence for hair or scalp benefits is limited; it can cause skin allergy and is poisonous if swallowed.

learn Caffeine

Does the caffeine in the scalp reach the follicles or stay on the surface? Caffeine can penetrate the scalp and reach hair follicles.

learn Keratin

Is keratin in shampoos and conditioners actually absorbed by the hair, or does it just coat the surface? Keratin in shampoos mainly coats the hair rather than being absorbed.
