GlossaryThymosin Beta-4 (TB4)

naturally occurring peptide aiding tissue repair and regeneration

Thymosin Beta-4 (Tβ4) is a naturally occurring peptide in the body that plays a crucial role in tissue repair and regeneration. It promotes cell migration, reduces inflammation, and aids in the formation of new blood vessels, making it significant in wound healing and potentially beneficial in treating conditions like alopecia and heart disease.

community Debunking Androgenetic Theory (Hair Transplants)

in Research/Science 25 upvotes 1 year ago

The post discusses a theory that hair regrowth after transplant is due to the angiogenesis process (new blood vessels forming), not because the transplanted hair is unaffected by DHT. The responses highlight the established belief in 'donor dominance' (the importance of the hair's origin in transplantation) and skepticism about the new theory.
