    GlossaryCell Proliferation Marker

    substance indicating cell division and growth rates

    A Cell Proliferation Marker is a substance or molecule used to detect and measure the rate at which cells are dividing and growing. These markers are crucial in both research and clinical settings to understand cell growth patterns, especially in contexts like cancer research, tissue regeneration, and hair growth studies. Common examples include Ki-67 and BrdU, which are often used to identify actively dividing cells.

      community Fats on your Head to Stop Hair Loss?

      in Research/Science  138 upvotes 1 year ago
      The conversation discusses the potential of long-chain unsaturated fatty acids, like oleic and linoleic acid, as an additional treatment for hair loss, which may inhibit the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone to DHT and promote hair growth. Users humorously suggest using oils topically and discuss other hair loss treatments, but the main focus is on the science behind fatty acids and their role in hair health.
