RECENT SCIENTIFIC WORK ON HAIR GROWTH, WORLD WIDE: Part 3
13) Dr. Klugluger of Vienna with the Mosier Clinic has found that a tissue culture medium containing inhibitors of nitric oxide has resulted in grafts with no transient hair loss that begin growing immediately after hair transplantation. A variety of … Continue reading

7) Similarly, topical T3 solution postop may also contribute to a shortening of the telogen phase or its elimination. Another recent report has suggested that there may be little or no type 2 5-alpha reductase located in occipital (donor) dermal … Continue reading

1) Hormone replacement therapy is frequently used as a technique for anti-aging in Southern California and other locations. People are usually prescribed various vitamins, supplements, thyroid hormone (in the form of Armour thyroid, which is T3 and T4), growth hormone, … Continue reading
In Vitro Growth of Hair Follicle Cells
Mass-Szabowski et al., (2001), reported that organotypic cocultures of keratinocytes and fibroblasts generate normal epithelial cells. These results were obtained with fibroblasts from any species of any tissue type. Further, they report that the “use of mouse fibroblasts and human … Continue reading
Sonic Hedgehog: Part 3
Martin from Madrid has the following report, “The Hedgehog (Hh) family of signaling molecules function as organizers in many morphogenetic processes. Hh signaling requires cholesterol in both signal-generating and –receiving cells, and it requires the tumor suppressor Patched (Ptc) in … Continue reading
Sonic Hedgehog: Part 2
In a report entitled “Hedgehog signal transduction: from flies to vertebrates,” by Murone et al., it was recently shown that the patterning and morphogenesis of multicellular organisms require a complex interplay of inductive signals which control proliferation, growth arrest, and … Continue reading
Sonic Hedgehog: Part 1
Hooper is currently doing research at the University of Colorado on two secreted proteins, Wingless and Hedgehog. Wingless (Wg) is expressed by the most posterior cells in each parasegment; Hedgehog (Hh) is expressed in the most anterior cells of the … Continue reading
Transfecting of Human Hair Follicle Cells
Gupta el al., (2001), reported that the human hair follicle consists of plastic cells for hair follicle cycling and for epidermal keratinocytes, melanocytes, and Langerhans cells. They found that a combination of liposomes and vector DNA can be used to … Continue reading
T3 – Thyroid Hormone
Hormone replacement therapy is frequently used as a technique for anti-aging in Southern California and other locations. People are usually prescribed various vitamins, supplements, thyroid hormone (in the form of Armour thyroid, which is T3 and T4), growth hormone, and … Continue reading
