    GlossaryCell Aggregates (Cell Clusters)

    groups of cells that adhere together forming a mass

    Cell aggregates, also known as cell clusters, are groups of cells that adhere to each other, forming a mass. These aggregates can occur naturally in the body, such as in the formation of tissues and organs, or can be created in a laboratory setting for research purposes. In the context of hair and alopecia, cell aggregates might be studied to understand how hair follicles develop and how they can be regenerated or repaired.

      Hair cloning is seen as a distant and potentially less relevant solution for hair loss due to its high cost, invasiveness, and the advancement of other treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride. Many believe that by the time hair cloning becomes viable, other less invasive and more effective treatments will be available.

      Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.

      in Minoxidil  2 upvotes 4 months ago
      Procapil is marketed as a natural hair loss treatment but lacks strong evidence and is industry-biased. Minoxidil and Finasteride are the only FDA-approved treatments for androgenetic alopecia.
