Glossary Apoptotic Keratinocytes

skin cells self-destructing through programmed cell death

Apoptotic keratinocytes are skin cells that are undergoing programmed cell death, a natural process where cells self-destruct when they are no longer needed or are damaged. This process helps maintain healthy skin by removing old or damaged cells, making way for new ones.

community Weed/THC effects on hair growth/hair loss, and vitality of organ-culture human follicle studies (research review)

4 upvotes 1 year ago

Cannabis and THC may have mixed effects on hair, with some studies suggesting potential negative impacts on hair growth in isolated hair follicles, but these results are hard to apply to living humans. Treatments like minoxidil and finasteride are commonly used for hair loss, and the effects of cannabis might be neutral or vary based on individual factors.

community Anti-oxidants that reverse hairloss?

86 upvotes 5 years ago

Resveratrol and fisetin, found in red wine and strawberries, may promote hair growth by affecting hair follicle cells. Users discuss various treatments, including natural remedies like saw palmetto and topical applications, with mixed opinions on their effectiveness compared to pharmaceuticals like finasteride.

community Prevention of age-related beard graying in humans by the topical application of Eriodictyon angustifolium extract

5 upvotes 4 years ago

Topical application of Eriodictyon angustifolium extract can prevent and reverse age-related beard graying and darken gray hair by increasing melanin production. Sterubin, a component of the extract, also promotes hair pigmentation and protects cells from DNA damage.

community Someone please offer reassurance

in Minoxidil 3 upvotes 1 month ago

A 19-year-old male is experiencing hair shedding while using oral minoxidil, ketoconazole, dermastamping, and saw palmetto, and is considering switching to finasteride for better results. Users suggest that saw palmetto may not be effective and recommend finasteride instead, while also discussing other treatments like rosemary oil, peppermint oil, and pumpkin seed oil.
