GlossaryBasement Membrane

thin layer separating epithelial cells from underlying connective tissue

The basement membrane is a thin, fibrous layer that lies between the epithelial cells (which line surfaces and cavities of organs) and the underlying connective tissue. It provides structural support, acts as a barrier to regulate the movement of cells and molecules, and plays a crucial role in tissue repair and regeneration. In the context of hair, the basement membrane surrounds hair follicles, helping to anchor them in place and maintain their structure.

community Compressed part of research of theory of androgenic/anabolitic balance. AGA h-responders analytic. Theory of physio-metabolitic method of anti AGA treatment

in Research 865 upvotes 1 year ago

The treatment for androgenetic alopecia involves using finasteride and minoxidil with intense exercise and cold exposure to boost metabolism and reduce androgenic effects, potentially leading to hair regrowth. This approach may activate biological pathways for improved hair and overall health.
