research Demethylation of ITGAV accelerates osteogenic differentiation in a blast-induced heterotopic ossification in vitro cell culture model
Removing a methyl group from the ITGAV gene speeds up bone formation in a specific type of bone disease model.
research Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva (FOP): A Segmental Progeroid Syndrome
Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva is a rare genetic disorder that causes extra bone growth and symptoms of premature aging.
research Role of stem/progenitor cells in reparative disorders
Adult stem cells are important for tissue repair and have therapeutic potential, but more research is needed to fully use them.
research Long-term complications of Stevens-Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis (SJS/TEN): the spectrum of chronic problems in patients who survive an episode of SJS/TEN necessitates multidisciplinary follow-up
Survivors of Stevens-Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis need ongoing care for various long-term health problems.
research Systematic Review: Adipose-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells, Platelet-Rich Plasma and Biomaterials as New Regenerative Strategies in Chronic Skin Wounds and Soft Tissue Defects
Fat-derived stem cells, platelet-rich plasma, and biomaterials show promise for healing chronic skin wounds and improving soft tissue with few side effects.

Osteopontin, a protein involved in hair growth on moles, may help with hair loss. However, it is also linked to Alzheimer's, cancer, and bone development, so caution is advised.
community Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is discussed as a potential treatment for androgenic alopecia due to its ability to reverse hypoxia and promote angiogenesis. The conversation explores its potential benefits for hair loss, though no studies have been conducted on this application yet.
community 8 months post HT: weird asymmetrical shedding/recession?. Dr not 100% sure cause. Theories??
8 months post hair transplant, OP experiences asymmetrical shedding despite using finasteride and starting minoxidil. The doctor suggests it might correct itself or be due to transplant trauma, recommending a wait-and-see approach.
community Another transplant or SMP? (Not balding)
The user is considering another hair transplant or scalp micropigmentation (SMP) for a congenital bald spot, but previous transplants were less effective due to scar tissue. Suggestions include using hair fibers, changing hairstyles, or doing nothing, as the spot is not very noticeable.
community What is the deal with "longitudinal partial follicular unit transplantation"
Longitudinal partial follicular unit transplantation involves extracting part of the donor follicular unit, allowing the donor area to be overharvested without noticeable hair loss. The conversation questions if this method is practiced in clinics or if it's theoretical, and whether it relates to hair cloning or multiplication.
