    TLDR Both hair transplant methods, FUE and FUT, show similar stress responses and growth abilities in hair cells.
    The study compared Follicular Unit Excision (FUE) and Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT), two techniques used in hair restoration surgery, in terms of cellular stress response and growth properties. The researchers measured the expression of specific hair follicle genes, stress protein genes, and proliferation-related genes in cultured cells. Despite molecular changes suggesting a cellular stress response during the procedure, the study found no significant differences between the FUE and FUT grafts. Additionally, there was no alteration of growth capabilities of the hair follicle cells obtained by either FUE or FUT.

      The conversation discusses various hair loss treatments, including minoxidil, finasteride, dutasteride, pyrilutamide, alfatrodial, and nizoral, with a focus on the potential of new treatments like gt20029 and breezula. There is optimism about novel treatments that don't have systemic effects, although skepticism remains about the effectiveness of some new drugs.
