GlossaryHematopoietic Stem Cells

produce all types of blood cells in bone marrow

Hematopoietic Stem Cells (HSCs) are a type of stem cell found in the bone marrow that are responsible for producing all the different types of blood cells, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. These cells have the unique ability to both self-renew, creating more HSCs, and differentiate into various specialized blood cells, making them crucial for maintaining a healthy and functional blood system.

community Painkillers May Block Minoxidil

in Research/Science 14 upvotes 5 months ago

Painkillers like Aspirin may reduce Minoxidil's effectiveness by inhibiting the enzyme PGHS-1, which is crucial for hair growth. Using NSAIDs that inhibit COX-2 or combining Minoxidil with PGF2/E2 analogues or retinoids may enhance its efficacy.
