PRSS35 enzyme may help start skin tumors and could be a target for cancer treatment.
research Anagen hair follicles transplanted into mature human scars remodel fibrotic tissue
Transplanting growing hair follicles into scars can help regenerate and improve scar tissue.
research Anagen Hair Follicles Transplanted into Mature Human Scars Remodel Fibrotic Tissue
Transplanted hair follicles can improve and remodel mature scars.
research 973 Dipeptidyl-peptidase 4 (DPP4)-positive fibroblasts are responsible for secretion of pro-fibrotic matrix proteins in the human skin
DPP4-positive fibroblasts play a major role in producing proteins that lead to skin fibrosis.
research Mimicking fat grafting of fibrotic scars using 3D‐organotypic skin cultures
Fat grafting reduces scar fibrosis but may slow skin healing.

5 / 73 resultscommunity Minoxidil inhibits lysyl hydroxylase which is needed to produce collagen. If I take 2,5...5 mg of minoxidil every day can I cause my skin to age prematurely?
Oral minoxidil is effective for hair loss and unlikely to significantly affect collagen synthesis, making it a safe option without causing premature skin aging. Users report positive hair regrowth without noticeable skin aging.
community Reducing Fibrosis in Hair Loss: Topical Pirfenidone
Topical pirfenidone is highlighted as an effective anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic treatment for hair loss, particularly in addressing perifollicular fibrosis, which may enhance the effectiveness of standard treatments like finasteride and minoxidil. The user also uses calcipotriol, MCT oil, ciclopirox shampoo, and benzoyl peroxide shampoo as part of their regimen.
community Pirfenidone - The answer to fibrosis and baldness
Pirfenidone is suggested to treat fibrosis and baldness by blocking inflammation markers and reducing collagen. It is also available as a gel for scar removal.
community Can pp405 revive dead follicles for long time bald people? Are those even dead? After 10+ years bald
PP405 may revive dormant hair follicles but is unlikely to help with long-term baldness where follicles are replaced by scar tissue. It is seen as a potential adjunct to treatments like minoxidil and finasteride, but its effectiveness on deeply fibrotic or scarred areas is doubtful.
community Perifollicular Fibrosis and its role in androgenetic alopecia. Is Aminexil/Kopexil a must for anyone with AGA?
Aminexil/Kopexil may help reduce hair loss by addressing perifollicular fibrosis in androgenetic alopecia, but it lacks the extensive clinical backing of finasteride and minoxidil. Some users find it effective, but availability and cost are issues, especially in the US where it's not FDA-approved.
