Research
5 / 1000+ resultsresearch Characterization of the Epidermal-Dermal Junction in hiPSC-Derived Skin Organoids
The study created hair-bearing skin models that lack a key protein for skin layer attachment, limiting their use for certain skin disease research.
research CRISPR/Cas9-Based Targeted Genome Editing for Correction of Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa Using iPS Cells
The research showed that CRISPR/Cas9 can fix mutations causing a skin disease in stem cells, which then improved skin grafts in mice, but more work on safety and efficiency is needed.
research Availability of mRNA from Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells for Mutational Analysis in Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa
Scientists developed a new way to study mutations in a skin condition using blood cells, which may help diagnose and treat the disease.
research Efficient Genome Editing Using CRISPR/Cas9 Ribonucleoprotein Approach in iPS Cells for Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa
Researchers fixed gene mutations causing a skin disease in stem cells, which then improved skin grafts in mice.

5 / 1000+ 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 I destroyed my scalp so you wouldn't have to: here's what happens when you quit topical minoxidil
Quitting minoxidil can lead to significant hair loss, even in areas that were not thinning before, as hair becomes reliant on the treatment. Some users also report losing hair gains when stopping minoxidil despite taking finasteride.
community 5ar Type I in the frontal hair follicles - Dutasteride
The conversation discusses that dutasteride may be more effective than finasteride for frontal hair loss due to higher 5ar Type 1 enzyme activity in that area. Some users question the validity of this information, while others confirm it with additional sources.
community Anyone ever heard of this type of product uses stem cells ?
The conversation is about a hair loss product that claims to use stem cells and ingredients like Capixyl, Redensyl, and Baicapil, with the user asking if anyone has looked into it. No specific treatments were discussed.
community do minoxidil and finasteride shed the same type of hair?
Minoxidil and finasteride may cause different shedding patterns; the user experienced shedding with finasteride which stopped, and is now concerned about potential shedding after starting minoxidil. They have been on finasteride for 3 months, minoxidil for 1 week, and had exosome therapy 1 month ago.
