5 / 1000+ resultsresearch Plasticity of Epithelial Stem Cells in Tissue Regeneration
Epithelial stem cells can adapt and help in tissue repair and regeneration.
research Surface Modification and Endothelialization of Biomaterials as Potential Scaffolds for Vascular Tissue Engineering Applications
Improving artificial vascular grafts requires better materials and surface designs to reduce blood clotting and support blood vessel cell growth.
research Skin Shedding and Tissue Regeneration in African Spiny Mice (Acomys)
African spiny mice can regenerate skin, hair, and cartilage, but not muscle, and their unique abilities could be useful for regenerative medicine.
research The Role of Stromal Stem Cells in Tissue Regeneration and Wound Repair
Stromal stem cells may help heal wounds by becoming structural cells or affecting the immune system, but more research is needed to understand how.
research Interrelation of Immunity and Tissue Repair or Regeneration
The immune system plays a key role in tissue repair, affecting both healing quality and regenerative ability.

Being overweight may increase finasteride side effects due to higher aromatase activity converting testosterone to estradiol. Maintaining a healthy weight could reduce these side effects.
community Hair theory Scar tissue and Verteporfin
A user suggests that deeper microneedling with Verteporfin injections might help regrow hair in areas with scar tissue, alongside a DHT blocker. Another user explains that hair loss might be due to reduced Wnt/β-Catenin signaling and suggests that treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, and microneedling could potentially reverse it.
community Finasteride update/information on Penis/Penile Tissue
Finasteride can reduce DHT in the genitalia, potentially causing side effects like reduced erections and penile fibrosis. Using PDE5 inhibitors like Tadalafil or Sildenafil may help maintain penile health and prevent fibrosis.
community Treatment of Finasteride Induced Gynecomastia (Male breast tissue growth)
Finasteride can cause gynecomastia, which may be reversible by stopping the drug and using selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) like tamoxifen. Lifestyle changes such as weight loss and avoiding alcohol can also help, but surgery may be needed if the condition persists.
community Imo everyone should take serrapeptase for a short extended period to break up scar tissue in their scalp
Treatments for hair loss, such as Minoxidil, Finasteride and RU58841, as well as using serrapeptase to break up scar tissue in the scalp.
