GlossaryAdipocyte Precursor Cells

immature cells that can develop into fat-storing adipocytes

Adipocyte Precursor Cells, also known as preadipocytes, are immature cells that have the potential to develop into adipocytes, which are the cells responsible for storing fat in the body. These precursor cells play a crucial role in the formation and maintenance of adipose tissue, and their differentiation is influenced by various hormonal and environmental factors. Understanding these cells is important for research into obesity, metabolic disorders, and tissue regeneration.

community Fats on your Head to Stop Hair Loss?

in Research/Science 139 upvotes 9 months 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.
