The article concludes that developing in vitro models for human hair structures is important for research and reducing animal testing, but there are challenges like obtaining suitable samples and the models' limitations.
A study that outlines the full model for androgenic alopecia (AGA) which links DHT to cellular senescence in dermal papilla cells, and suggests black chokeberry as a source of cyanidin 3-O-arabinoside polyphenol with potential anti-oxidant properties that could reverse this process. The post encourages reaching out to experts in anti-aging and longevity to research treatments involving the polyphenol.
Whether using both Fluridil and Alfatradiol together could be more effective than either one alone as a hair loss treatment, given their different mechanisms of action.
The conversation discusses hair loss treatments, specifically Brassica oleracea extract, glucosinolates, and sulforaphane, and their potential to promote hair growth. Users also mention minoxidil and finasteride as existing treatments.
The conversation discusses the lack of in vivo studies on the effects of minoxidil and finasteride on human collagen and elastin after a year of use. It highlights the potential benefits of such research for understanding side effects and improving sales, despite challenges like cost and competition.
Chinese researchers have successfully created hair follicles in vitro, potentially offering unlimited hair for transplantation and a cure for hair loss. They plan to test these follicles in vivo on human scalps.
