    Did you mean Stem Cell Populations?
    GlossaryStem Cell Populations

    groups of cells capable of self-renewal and differentiation

    Stem cell populations refer to groups of stem cells that share similar characteristics and functions within a specific tissue or organ. These cells have the unique ability to self-renew and differentiate into various specialized cell types, playing a crucial role in tissue repair and regeneration. In the context of hair, stem cell populations in hair follicles are essential for the growth and cycling of hair, and their dysfunction can lead to conditions like alopecia.

      A 27-year-old man saw significant hair regrowth after starting a regimen in January that included topical minoxidil with finasteride, vitamins D and B12, fish oil, zinc with magnesium, quitting smoking, and intermittent fasting. People commented on the effectiveness of minoxidil in Southern populations and asked about the details and timeline of his treatment.

      Baldness is not an evolutionary disadvantage because it occurs after reproductive age. Treatments like Minoxidil and Finasteride are used for androgenetic alopecia but don't address the root cause.
