Did you mean Wound Fibroblasts?

Glossary Wound Fibroblasts

specialized cells that produce collagen to heal injured tissue

Wound fibroblasts are specialized cells that play a crucial role in the healing process of injured tissue. When you get a cut or injury, these cells migrate to the wound site and produce collagen and other extracellular matrix components to help close the wound and form new tissue. They are essential for repairing and strengthening the damaged area.

research 977 The wound healing of fractional photothermolysis mimicks scarless healing with minimal myofibroblast activation

April 2019 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

This study in mice found that fractional photothermolysis can improve dermal scar formation by promoting slow, organized collagen regeneration with minimal myofibroblast activation.

research Regeneration of fat cells from myofibroblasts during wound healing

408 citations , January 2017 in “Science”

This study found that hair follicles in mice and humans can convert wound-related myofibroblasts into adipocytes, suggesting a potential pathway to reduce scar formation by activating BMP signaling.

research Immunophenotypical analyses of myofibroblasts in rat excisional wound healing: possible transdifferentiation of blood vessel pericytes and perifollicular dermal sheath cells into myofibroblasts.

26 citations , April 2012 in “PubMed”

In this study, myofibroblasts in rat cutaneous fibrosis were characterized by expressions of vimentin, α-SMA, and Thy-1, and may derive from pericytes or perifollicular dermal sheath cells.

research Antler stem cell-derived exosomes promote regenerative wound healing via fibroblast-to-myofibroblast transition inhibition

17 citations , November 2023 in “Journal of Biological Engineering”

This study found that exosomes derived from antler stem cells significantly enhanced wound healing speed and quality in rats, including better skin regeneration and collagen distribution, outperforming exosomes from bone marrow stem cells, and suggesting potential clinical applications.

research 974 Single-cell analysis identifies heterogeneity of fibroblasts and myeloid-derived adipocytes in regenerating mouse skin wounds

1 citations , April 2019 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology”

This study found that wounding in skin induces significant fibroblast heterogeneity and recruits myeloid cells, which contribute to adipocyte regeneration in mice.

community Topical Metformin for Hair Transplant donor area skin/hair regeneration?

4 upvotes 1 year ago

Topical Metformin shows potential for regenerating hair follicles and minimizing scarring in hair transplant donor areas, similar to Verteporfin but without its side effects. The discussion suggests considering Metformin for post-hair transplant care, though more human trials are needed.

community Occipitalis Muscle Tension Theory

13 upvotes 7 months ago

Scalp tension from the occipitalis muscle is theorized to contribute to hair loss, but most believe DHT and genetics are the main causes. Treatments like finasteride and minoxidil are considered more effective than addressing scalp tension.

community Got my Oleic fatty acid they used in Korean study. Fuck you mice!

247 upvotes 8 months ago

Oleic acid and microneedling are being explored for hair regrowth, but results are mixed. Addressing DHT and fibrosis is crucial, with treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and scalp massage also discussed.

community Would it be dumb for me to switch to oral minoxidil?

4 upvotes 4 days ago

Switching from foam to oral minoxidil is considered convenient and not a bad idea, though some users mention potential side effects and the need to adjust dosage gradually. Oral minoxidil may cause shedding during transition, and its effectiveness compared to topical application varies.

community Would this DUT work? Or just BS

24 upvotes 1 month ago

The conversation discusses the effectiveness and side effects of using Dutasteride, particularly at higher doses like 2.5mg, for hair loss treatment. Concerns are raised about potential side effects, long-term safety, and the difference between topical and oral applications.

learn Rosemary

Does rosemary improve scalp circulation, and would that regrow hair? No study has measured whether rosemary improves scalp blood flow in people. Its hair evidence is one small trial without a placebo arm, plus mouse and lab studies.

learn Stem Cell Factor

Is there evidence that stem cell factor treatments visibly improve hair, and how long would it take? There is no clinical evidence that stem cell factor treatments improve hair; if any effect exists, it could not be judged before 3 to 6 months.

learn white tea

Do white tea products produce visible results, and how long would it take to tell? There is no human evidence that white tea products change hair; any hair effect would take months to judge, and none has been shown.
