Glossary In Vitro Tests

experiments conducted outside living organisms in controlled environments

In vitro tests are experiments conducted outside of a living organism, typically in a controlled laboratory environment such as a test tube or petri dish. These tests allow researchers to study biological processes, drug effects, or chemical reactions in isolation, providing valuable insights without the complexity of a whole living system.

community Chinese reseachers successfully create hair follicles in-vitrofor autologous transplantation in vivo

29 upvotes 1 year ago

Chinese researchers have successfully created hair follicles in vitro, potentially offering unlimited hair for transplantation and a cure for hair loss. They plan to test these follicles in vivo on human scalps.

community 5 months topical spiro + minox + micro

6 upvotes 1 year ago

A 35-year-old male uses topical minoxidil, spironolactone, and microneedling for hair loss, with spironolactone prescribed based on a DNA test indicating poor response to finasteride and dutasteride. Despite concerns about the test's validity and spironolactone's side effects, he reports stable or improved hair condition and no low testosterone symptoms.

community Fats on your Head to Stop Hair Loss?

140 upvotes 2 years ago

The conversation discusses the potential of long-chain unsaturated fatty acids, like oleic and linoleic acid, as an additional treatment for hair loss, which may inhibit the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone to DHT and promote hair growth. Users humorously suggest using oils topically and discuss other hair loss treatments, but the main focus is on the science behind fatty acids and their role in hair health.

community Connection between finasteride and nafld?

in Research/Science 4 upvotes 2 years ago

Finasteride may affect liver function and cortisol levels, potentially linking it to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). More research is needed to understand this connection fully.

community Theoretically won't this be better than finasteride? Azelaic acid + zinc

9 upvotes 3 years ago

The conversation discusses using zinc sulphate and azelaic acid to inhibit 5 alpha-reductase activity, which could potentially treat androgen-related skin conditions like hair loss. Combining these with vitamin B6 could enhance the effect, potentially offering an alternative to finasteride.
