research Recent Tissue Engineering Approaches to Mimicking the Extracellular Matrix Structure for Skin Regeneration
New materials that better mimic natural skin structure could improve healing, especially for chronic wounds.
research Going below and beyond the surface: Microneedle structure, materials, drugs, fabrication, and applications for wound healing and tissue regeneration
Microneedles are effective for painless drug delivery and promoting wound healing and tissue regeneration.
research Existence of various structural zones in keratinous tissues revealed by X-ray microdiffraction
Keratinous tissues have multiple structural layers, including ordered keratin and lipid granules.
research Hardwiring Stem Cell Communication through Tissue Structure
The conclusion is that tissue structure is key for stem cell communication and maintaining healthy tissues.

A 27-year-old male with diffuse hair loss, including the donor area, did not respond to finasteride, dutasteride, or minoxidil. He suspects his hair loss may be linked to a mild connective tissue disorder, possibly affecting the structural support of hair follicles, rather than being purely hormonal.
community Finasteride update/information on Penis/Penile Tissue
Finasteride can reduce DHT in the genitalia, potentially causing side effects like reduced erections and penile fibrosis. Using PDE5 inhibitors like Tadalafil or Sildenafil may help maintain penile health and prevent fibrosis.
community Genuine question about VDPHL01's long term safety that I haven't seen discussed here
Concerns about the long-term safety of VDPHL01, an extended-release minoxidil, due to potential risks similar to Cantu syndrome, were raised, highlighting the lack of monitoring for chronic connective tissue changes. The conversation suggests that while the treatment may improve hair growth, it could lead to issues not detected in short-term trials.
community Hair loss research focused on chemistry for decades because we misunderstood the mechanics of growth.
Hair growth relies on mechanical forces, not just chemicals, with tissue acting like a motor. Minoxidil and finasteride help, but maintaining tissue elasticity and addressing mechanical issues are essential.
community Do hair follicles dies or are dormant ?
Hair follicles can be dormant and potentially revived with treatments like finasteride and minoxidil, but irreversible loss occurs if certain structures are destroyed. Early intervention is more effective, and additional methods like microneedling may help.
