Scientists found the best time to transplanthuman stem cells for hair growth is between days 16-18 when they have the right markers and growth potential.
A human trial of verteporfin, a drug that can inhibit wound healing by scarring and promote regeneration of original tissue and hair follicles to provide an unlimited source for hairtransplants; people discussed the potential of this drug and how it could be rolled out in mainstream with more doctors getting on board.
Verteporfin shows promise in donor hair regeneration after 84 days. Combining Finasteride, Minoxidil, and Pyrilutamide with unlimited hairtransplants is seen as a potential near-cure for hair loss.
After a hairtransplant, it's advised to stop using RU58841 and minoxidil to avoid irritation, resuming them 25-30 days post-surgery if the scalp is healed. The user is currently using finasteride, minoxidil, and RU58841, but there are concerns about the safety and efficacy of RU58841 in humans.
Transplanting mice skin to humans is not feasible due to immune rejection, but some suggest genetic modification or immune suppression could make it possible. Xenograft hairtransplants are discouraged.
Topical Metformin shows potential for regenerating hair follicles and minimizing scarring in hairtransplant donor areas, similar to Verteporfin but without its side effects. The discussion suggests considering Metformin for post-hairtransplant care, though more human trials are needed.
