Did you mean Microvessel Density?

GlossaryMicrovessel Density

number of tiny blood vessels in a specific tissue area

Microvessel Density (MVD) refers to the number of tiny blood vessels, or microvessels, within a specific area of tissue. It is often used as a measure in medical research to assess the extent of angiogenesis, which is the formation of new blood vessels, particularly in the context of tumor growth and other pathological conditions. High MVD can indicate increased blood supply to a tumor, which may correlate with more aggressive disease and poorer prognosis.

A serum containing Centella asiatica extracellular vesicles, IGF-1, FGF-7, and caffeine significantly improved hair thickness, density, length, and reduced hair loss after 56 days. The conversation also discusses how treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and ketoconazole address different aspects of hair loss by reducing DHT, improving blood flow, and lowering inflammation.

community Debunking Androgenetic Theory (Hair Transplants)

in Research/Science 25 upvotes 2 years ago

The post discusses a theory that hair regrowth after transplant is due to the angiogenesis process (new blood vessels forming), not because the transplanted hair is unaffected by DHT. The responses highlight the established belief in 'donor dominance' (the importance of the hair's origin in transplantation) and skepticism about the new theory.
