    Glossary3D cell spheroids (3D cell aggregates)

    clusters of cells growing in three-dimensional structures

    3D cell spheroids are clusters of cells that grow in a three-dimensional structure, mimicking the natural environment of tissues more accurately than traditional two-dimensional cell cultures. These spheroids are used in research to study cell behavior, drug responses, and disease mechanisms, providing a more realistic model for biological processes and potential treatments.

      community Keratin microspheres - breakthrough

      in Research/Science  13 upvotes 8 months ago
      A gel of keratin microspheres promotes hair follicle growth, showing similar effectiveness to minoxidil in mice. The treatment activates hair growth pathways and reduces inflammation, with potential applications in drug delivery for hair-related disorders.

      community 3 months on minoxidil and microneedling alone

      in Progress Pictures  635 upvotes 2 years ago
      This conversation was about a user's progress pictures from using minoxidil and microneedling to treat hair loss. Other users suggested finasteride as an additional treatment, while cautioning that the drug could have permanent side effects.
      Diffuse hair loss and scalp biopsies

      community Diffuse hair loss and scalp biopsies

      in Research  692 upvotes 3 months ago
      Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
