    TLDR Muse cells keep their special features and can become different cell types even after being frozen and thawed three times.
    The document from September 2018 studied the impact of repeated cryopreservation on Muse cells, a type of pluripotent stem cell. The study demonstrated that Muse cells retained their pluripotency after being cryopreserved up to three times, as shown by positive alkaline phosphatase staining and the expression of key pluripotency genes (Nanog, Oct4, and Sox2). Furthermore, these cells preserved their ability to differentiate into various cell lineages, including neurons, chondrocytes, and hepatocytes. These findings support the potential of Muse cells for use in personalized regenerative medicine, due to their minimal invasive collection method from skin tissues and their resilience to multiple cryopreservations.

      The conversation discusses the potential of long-chain unsaturated fatty acids, like oleic and linoleic acid, as an additional treatment for hair loss, which may inhibit the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone to DHT and promote hair growth. Users humorously suggest using oils topically and discuss other hair loss treatments, but the main focus is on the science behind fatty acids and their role in hair health.

      The post discusses the difference in effects of Minoxidil (Min) on scalp and facial hair. The user questions why Min-induced hair growth on the scalp is temporary, while facial hair growth seems permanent, even after stopping Min. They propose theories, including different Min mechanisms on body and facial hair, the role of DHT, and the possibility of not achieving fully terminal hair. The responses include personal experiences and theories about Min's effects on hair growth.
