    scientific method tracking cell development and differentiation over time

    Lineage tracing is a scientific technique used to track the development and fate of specific cells over time. By marking a group of cells with a unique identifier, researchers can observe how these cells divide, differentiate, and contribute to the formation of tissues and organs. This method is particularly useful in understanding how stem cells function and how diseases like cancer progress.

      community Finasteride after 6 months of use. Progress(?) pictures

      in Progress Pictures  64 upvotes 1 month ago
      A 27-year-old male with androgenetic alopecia has been using finasteride, topical minoxidil, and microneedling for over six months to stabilize hair loss and prepare for a potential hair transplant. While some users suggest switching to dutasteride and increasing minoxidil usage, others note minimal progress, with some hair stabilization but concerns about thinning at the crown.

      community New Hair Loss Cure: AMP-303 Is Back. It’s what PP405 should have been.

      in Research/Science 1 day ago
      AMP-303 and AMP-601 are new hair loss treatments targeting dermal papilla cells, with AMP-303 showing early efficacy in transitioning vellus hairs to terminal hairs after one injection. Further clinical trials are planned, and these treatments are seen as promising due to their biologic approach and less frequent application compared to daily treatments.

      community Verteporfin and Microneedling

      in Treatments 1 year ago
      Clinical studies by Dr. Barghouthi and Dr. Bloxham indicate that Verteporfin, when used with FUE and FUT hair transplantation methods, shows promise in hair follicle regeneration and minimal scarring due to its ability to inhibit Yes-associated protein (YAP). Microneedling at depths of 3-3.5mm, combined with Verteporfin, could potentially reactivate dormant follicles, although the optimal dosage and application method are still under investigation. Concerns remain about the DHT sensitivity of regenerated follicles, highlighting the need for further research to optimize trauma levels and Verteporfin concentrations to achieve effective and scar-free hair regeneration.
