Did you mean Dorsal Root Ganglia?

GlossaryDorsal Root Ganglia

clusters of nerve cell bodies transmitting sensory information to the spinal cord

Dorsal Root Ganglia (DRG) are clusters of nerve cell bodies located along the spinal cord. They play a crucial role in transmitting sensory information from the peripheral nervous system to the central nervous system, including sensations like pain, temperature, and touch.

community Anti-oxidants that reverse hairloss?

in Research/Science 89 upvotes 4 years ago

Resveratrol and fisetin, found in red wine and strawberries, may promote hair growth by affecting hair follicle cells. Users discuss various treatments, including natural remedies like saw palmetto and topical applications, with mixed opinions on their effectiveness compared to pharmaceuticals like finasteride.

community Peptides that Stop Hair Loss? | In-depth Literature Review Video

in Research/Science 74 upvotes 1 year ago

Peptides like TB500, KPV, GHK-CU, and BPC-157 are overhyped for hair growth with limited proven effectiveness in humans. Combining peptides with delivery methods like iontophoresis and sonophoresis shows promise, but many claims remain unproven.

community How to know if shedding is from tren or minoxidil?

in Minoxidil 5 upvotes 1 year ago

The user started using trenbolone and minoxidil simultaneously and experienced increased hair shedding, unsure which is causing it. Replies suggest both drugs could cause hair loss, with one advising to stop trenbolone to protect hair and another indicating minoxidil is unlikely the cause due to the timing.
