GlossaryYoung's modulus (Elastic modulus)

measures material stiffness by stress-to-strain ratio in elasticity

Young's modulus, also known as the elastic modulus, is a measure of the stiffness of a material. It quantifies how much a material will deform under a given amount of stress. Specifically, it is the ratio of tensile stress (force per unit area) to tensile strain (proportional deformation) in the linear elasticity region of the material. This property is crucial in fields like materials science and engineering, as it helps predict how materials will behave under different forces.

community MSM [Methylsulfonylmethane] ??

in Treatment 6 upvotes 1 year ago

Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) is not a treatment for male pattern baldness but can accelerate hair growth and thicken miniaturized hairs, with the side effect of increased hair growth all over the body. The user asks others to share their experiences with MSM.

in Research/Science 9 upvotes 7 months ago

Topical 2-deoxy-D-ribose (2dDR) regrows hair in mice almost as well as 2% Minoxidil. However, 2dDR may contribute to oxidative stress and hair loss due to the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs).

community Fresh off the press: Dutasteride may cause chronic infertility

in Research/Science 332 upvotes 16 hours ago

Dutasteride may cause chronic infertility by reducing semen volume and motility, with concerns about irreversible prostate fibrosis. Users consider switching to finasteride or using treatments like minoxidil and microneedling, weighing hair preservation against fertility.

community Where did this idea come from: dermastamp better than dermaroller?

in Microneedling 10 upvotes 2 weeks ago

Dermastamps are preferred over dermarollers for microneedling due to precision and reduced risk of scarring. Dermastamps allow for controlled, vertical needle entry, while dermarollers may cause more damage with sideways needle entry.
