research Impact of Adipose-Derived Stem Cells on Engineering Hair Follicle Germ-Like Tissue Grafts for Hair Regenerative Medicine
Adding human fat-derived stem cells to hair follicle grafts greatly increases hair growth.
research Enhanced Skin Regeneration Using a Novel Amniotic-Derived Tissue Graft
A new type of amniotic tissue graft improves wound healing better than other grafts.
research Tissue Engineering of the Reproductive System
Cell transplantation faces challenges in genitourinary reconstruction, but alternative tissue sources and microencapsulation show promise.
research Functional Skin Grafts: Where Biomaterials Meet Stem Cells
Advancements in creating skin grafts with biomaterials and stem cells are promising, but more research is needed for clinical application.

5 / 561 resultscommunity NW5 at 19. How many grafts do I need?
A 19-year-old with rapid hair loss since 16 is considering a hair transplant but refuses to take finasteride or any 5α-Reductase inhibitors. They are currently using minoxidil, tretinoin, and microneedling with a Derminator 2, and only want hair until age 27.
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.
community Verteporfin day 119 update - donor hair regeneration human trial
A human trial of verteporfin, a drug that can inhibit wound healing by scarring and promote regeneration of original tissue and hair follicles to provide an unlimited source for hair transplants; people discussed the potential of this drug and how it could be rolled out in mainstream with more doctors getting on board.
community Progress? Trying to fill in this crown.
The user has been treating hair loss with finasteride, minoxidil, microneedling, Nizoral shampoo, and Nutrafol, and is asking for opinions on their progress. Suggestions include continuing current treatments, considering dutasteride or other options, and being cautious with microneedling frequency to avoid scar tissue.
community How long should you take fin/dut for, before getting a transplant?
The user started taking dutasteride a month ago and is seeking advice on whether to wait for a year before getting a hair transplant, as it could potentially strengthen the donor-zone and require fewer grafts, or to get a transplant immediately, extracting only the "strong hairs" not affected by dutasteride. The user is unsure which approach is correct.
