GlossaryHematopoietic System

system that produces blood cells in bone marrow

The hematopoietic system, also known as the blood-forming system, is responsible for the production of all the cellular components of blood, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. This process primarily occurs in the bone marrow, where hematopoietic stem cells differentiate and mature into various blood cells essential for oxygen transport, immune response, and blood clotting.

community Painkillers May Block Minoxidil

in Research/Science 15 upvotes 1 week 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.
