Did you mean Basal Layer?

GlossaryBasal Layer

deepest epidermal layer where new skin cells form

The Basal Layer, also known as the Stratum Basale, is the deepest layer of the epidermis, which is the outermost layer of the skin. This layer is crucial because it contains basal cells that continuously divide and push older cells towards the skin's surface, where they eventually shed. It also houses melanocytes, which produce the pigment melanin, giving skin its color and providing some protection against UV radiation.

community The case of a 78 year old man who accidentally regrew his hair (published in the British Medical Journal)

in Chat 213 upvotes 8 months ago

A 78-year-old man regrew hair after suffering burns, suggesting that injury-induced healing processes might trigger hair growth. Microneedling and other treatments like minoxidil and finasteride are discussed as potential methods to stimulate similar regrowth.

community Compressed part of research of theory of androgenic/anabolitic balance. AGA h-responders analytic. Theory of physio-metabolitic method of anti AGA treatment

in Research 865 upvotes 1 year ago

The treatment for androgenetic alopecia involves using finasteride and minoxidil with intense exercise and cold exposure to boost metabolism and reduce androgenic effects, potentially leading to hair regrowth. This approach may activate biological pathways for improved hair and overall health.

community If You Have DUPA, PLEASE READ THIS: Everyone Should Be Scalp Biopsied

in Research 830 upvotes 1 year ago

Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
