    GlossaryAdipose-Derived Stem Cells

    stem cells harvested from fat tissue for regenerative purposes

    Adipose-Derived Stem Cells (ADSCs) are stem cells that are harvested from fat tissue. These cells have the ability to differentiate into various cell types, including bone, cartilage, and muscle cells, making them valuable for regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. They are also being researched for their potential in treating conditions like alopecia, as they can promote hair growth and repair damaged hair follicles.

      Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.

      community Why creatine and gym cause MPD

      in Finasteride/Dutasteride 1 year ago
      Gym and creatine can cause hair loss by increasing testosterone and androgenic activity. DHT blockers may help some, while others need androgen suppression with topical AA like RU or Pyri.
