Glossary Cell Therapy

involves administering live cells to treat or prevent diseases

Cell Therapy, also known as Cellular Therapy or Cell-based Therapy, involves the administration of live cells to a patient to treat or prevent a disease. These cells can be derived from the patient (autologous) or a donor (allogeneic) and are often used to regenerate damaged tissues, modulate immune responses, or deliver therapeutic agents directly to affected areas. This approach is being explored for a variety of conditions, including certain types of alopecia, where stem cells or other cell types may help stimulate hair growth and repair hair follicles.

community Good news for stem cells hair therapies - US federal judge: using patients' stem cells does NOT fall under FDA jurisdiction

26 upvotes 4 years ago

A US federal judge ruled that using patients' stem cells for medical treatments is not under FDA jurisdiction, potentially speeding up development of stem cell-based hair loss therapies. Some users are optimistic about increased research and development, while others express skepticism about the ruling's impact on safety and efficacy standards.

community Stem-cell hair transplants! 20k lab grown grafts from one single graft

50 upvotes 2 years ago

Stem-cell hair transplants could potentially create thousands of grafts from a single donor graft, offering a solution for hair loss with DHT-resistant hair. Companies like Stemson Therapeutics and OrganTech are working on this technology, which may become available in the future, possibly reducing the cost and making it widely accessible.

community Drug-free hair transplant while waiting for future treatments to become available to public: stupid or good plan?

in Transplants 1 month ago

A user plans a drug-free hair transplant while waiting for future treatments like stem cell therapies, which are projected to be available between 2028 and 2030. Many users express skepticism about the availability of new treatments, suggesting that relying on them is risky and that finasteride remains the most effective option.

community If we can clone a sheep why we can't cure baldness till now

in Research/Science 181 upvotes 11 months ago

Hair loss treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, and stem cell therapies exist, but a complete cure is hindered by genetic complexity and market dynamics. Cloning hair follicles is considered a potential solution, but it's currently not feasible.

community How far are we from a treatment better than finasteride?

in Treatment 129 upvotes 1 year ago

Dutasteride is more effective than finasteride for hair loss as it blocks more of the enzyme causing hair loss. New treatments like stem cell therapies and alternatives to minoxidil are being explored, but major advancements are still years away.
