Glossary Embryonic Skin

early developmental stage of skin in an embryo

Embryonic skin refers to the early developmental stage of skin in an embryo, where the basic layers and structures of the skin begin to form. During this phase, the skin is highly proliferative and has the potential to differentiate into various cell types, including those that will eventually form hair follicles, sweat glands, and other specialized structures. This stage is crucial for understanding congenital skin disorders and the mechanisms of skin regeneration and repair.

community Hair and normal skin created from human pluripotent stem cells for the first time

86 upvotes 6 years ago

Human pluripotent stem cells have been used to create hair and skin, potentially offering a new solution for baldness. A user also mentioned starting finasteride but experiencing unexpected hair thinning.

community I Guess balding is cured so should we close subreddit and move to hairstyling photos 😁 Botox-like nerve blocking reveals potential way to fully regenerate skin without scarring

5 months ago

Baldness is difficult to cure because current treatments like finasteride, dutasteride, and minoxidil only prevent hair shedding, and new developments are mostly ineffective. Botox shows potential in aiding skin regeneration and hair growth, but maintenance therapy with treatments like dutasteride and minoxidil may still be necessary.

community How a follicle next to it is so genetically different that it never miniaturized??

in Chat 219 upvotes 11 months ago

Genetic differences in hair follicles affect hair loss patterns. Treatments discussed include finasteride, dutasteride, minoxidil, and RU58841.

community Most Promising Future Hair Loss Treatments In 2026

83 upvotes 1 week ago

Promising hair loss treatments in 2026 include GT20029, a topical androgen receptor degrader, and VDPHL01, an extended-release oral minoxidil, both offering safer alternatives with fewer side effects. Other treatments like sublingual minoxidil, OND-1, JW0061, TDM-105795, and AMP-303 are also being explored.

community We already know how to permanently fix hair loss. The science is done. The only thing missing is the funding to run one experiment.

in Technology 613 upvotes 4 months ago

A permanent hair loss solution could involve reprogramming hair follicles to resist DHT using mRNA and siRNA. However, high costs, safety concerns, and the pharmaceutical industry's preference for ongoing treatments over one-time cures are major obstacles, with finasteride and minoxidil remaining standard treatments.
