    TLDR Researchers successfully grew hair follicle stem cells from mice and humans, which could be useful for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.
    The study successfully isolated and cultivated hair follicle adult stem cells (HFSCs) from the bulge region in both mice and humans, using specific markers (CD34 in mice and CD200 in humans) to identify them. Mouse HFSCs proliferated faster and formed more colonies compared to human HFSCs. The cells maintained their stem cell characteristics and high proliferative capacity over extended periods, showing potential for differentiation into various cell types. This research provided a foundation for future therapeutic applications in treating conditions like alopecia, highlighting the potential of HFSCs for regenerative medicine and hair loss treatments.

      The conversation discusses GT20029, a drug in Phase II trials that targets androgen receptors with minimal systemic effects, and TDM-105795, a growth stimulant with a different mechanism than minoxidil that may revive papilla stem cells. Both are potential new treatments for hair loss.

      community Why is it that low testosterone causes hair loss as well? How can I be balding?

      in Chat  158 upvotes 7 months ago
      The conversation discusses the confusion over low testosterone potentially causing hair loss, with users sharing personal experiences and knowledge about hair loss treatments like Finasteride. Some users suggest that hair follicle sensitivity to DHT, not testosterone levels, is the key factor in balding, and others discuss the side effects of hair loss medications.

      community When are we getting a cure to hair loss?

      in Chat 1 year ago
      Potential treatments for hair loss, including Minoxidil, finasteride, RU58841 and various upcoming pharmaceuticals, gene editing and cloning. It is suggested that a cure, if found, would be highly profitable due to the large number of people affected by hair loss globally.
