    GlossaryIn Vitro Models (cell culture models)

    experimental systems studying biological processes outside living organisms

    In Vitro Models refer to experimental systems used to study biological processes outside of a living organism, typically in a controlled laboratory environment. These models often involve the use of cell cultures or tissue samples to investigate cellular behaviors, drug responses, or disease mechanisms, providing valuable insights without the ethical and practical complexities of in vivo (within a living organism) studies.

      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.
