    technique growing cells in three dimensions for realistic conditions

    3D cell culture is a technique used to grow cells in an environment that more closely mimics the natural conditions inside the human body compared to traditional two-dimensional (2D) cultures. By allowing cells to interact in all three dimensions, this method provides a more accurate representation of how cells behave, grow, and respond to treatments, making it particularly valuable for research in areas like cancer, tissue engineering, and drug development.

      community Surprisingly thorough study on He-Shou-Wu/Fo Ti

      in Research/Science  14 upvotes 2 years ago
      He Shou Wu (Fo Ti) extract was found to prolong the hair growth phase, inhibit 5-alpha-reductase (like finasteride), reduce androgen receptors, and increase growth factors, potentially outperforming minoxidil in recovering hair follicle size after DHT exposure. Two compounds, emodin and TSG, are identified as responsible for these effects and warrant further investigation.

      community How soon is hair clone? Next five years?!

      in Research/Science  14 upvotes 1 year ago
      Hair cloning is humorously discussed as always being 5-7 years away, with skepticism about its near-term availability. Gene editing to reactivate dormant follicles is suggested as a more likely solution within the next ten years.
