    GlossaryCell Microenvironment

    immediate surroundings influencing cell behavior and function

    The cell microenvironment, also known as the cellular microenvironment, refers to the immediate surroundings of a cell, including the extracellular matrix, neighboring cells, and various signaling molecules. This environment plays a crucial role in regulating cell behavior, function, and fate by providing biochemical and mechanical cues. Understanding the cell microenvironment is essential for fields like tissue engineering, cancer research, and regenerative medicine, as it influences processes such as cell growth, differentiation, and migration.

      community Looks like a real cure to the root of baldness (DHT-induced senescence) was proven earlier this year

      in Research/Science  737 upvotes 2 years ago
      A study that outlines the full model for androgenic alopecia (AGA) which links DHT to cellular senescence in dermal papilla cells, and suggests black chokeberry as a source of cyanidin 3-O-arabinoside polyphenol with potential anti-oxidant properties that could reverse this process. The post encourages reaching out to experts in anti-aging and longevity to research treatments involving the polyphenol.

      community Does melatonin dissolve in isopropyl alcohol

      in Technology  8 upvotes 1 year ago
      The conversation discusses making a topical melatonin solution for hair loss treatment, questioning if isopropyl alcohol can dissolve melatonin. Melatonin is soluble in lipids and alcohol, but it's unstable and should be mixed fresh regularly; it may help hair growth by affecting certain cellular signaling pathways and has anti-androgenic effects.
