GlossaryAdult Stem Cells (ASCs)

undifferentiated cells in adults that regenerate specific tissues

Adult stem cells, also known as somatic stem cells, are undifferentiated cells found throughout the body after development. They have the ability to self-renew and differentiate into various specialized cell types of the tissue or organ they reside in, playing a crucial role in tissue repair and regeneration. Unlike embryonic stem cells, adult stem cells are limited in their differentiation potential but are less likely to cause ethical concerns or immune rejection when used in therapies.

community Dont stop using Minoxidil i beg you! Dont be fool like me.

in Minoxidil 506 upvotes 2 months ago

Stopping minoxidil causes significant hair loss, as continued use is necessary for maintaining gains. Combining minoxidil with finasteride may help maintain hair, but both treatments are typically lifelong commitments.

community Why is Minoxidil not enough for hair loss? (No fin)

in Minoxidil 57 upvotes 6 days ago

Minoxidil alone is often insufficient for treating hair loss because it doesn't address the DHT-related cause. Combining it with finasteride, a DHT blocker, is generally more effective.
