Glossary Intestinal Stem Cells

specialized cells in the gut that regenerate intestinal lining

Intestinal Stem Cells (ISCs) are specialized cells located in the lining of the intestines that have the ability to self-renew and differentiate into various types of cells that make up the intestinal epithelium. These cells are crucial for maintaining the integrity and function of the gut by continuously replenishing the intestinal lining, which is constantly being worn down by digestive processes.

community A Theory on Why Microneedling Works

175 upvotes 6 years ago

Microneedling may enhance hair regrowth by transferring stem cells to dormant follicles, improving the effects of minoxidil. Users discuss using microneedling with needle lengths around 1.5mm to stimulate hair growth.

community What if DHT is not the vilan.

13 upvotes 5 years ago

Hair loss may be influenced more by inflammation, microbiome imbalances, and gut health than DHT. Treatments discussed include minoxidil, finasteride, RU58841, fecal microbiota transplants, and JAK inhibitors.

community My Experience at Dr. Hakan Clinic in Istanbul

9 upvotes 7 months ago

A 34-year-old underwent a hair transplant with 5,250 grafts, stem cell therapy, and PRP at Dr. Hakan Clinic in Istanbul, without using Minoxidil or Finasteride. Despite initial concerns about the hairline design, the user is optimistic about the results and plans to update progress over time.

community NMN Promotes Cell Proliferation and Hair Growth by Reducing Oxidative Stress

14 upvotes 2 years ago

NMN shows promise in promoting hair growth by reducing oxidative stress and weakening androgens. It may be a beneficial addition to hair loss treatments like Minoxidil and Finasteride.

community Demystifying PP405. It is not a mystery cure with constructive criticism as a proof! It is....!!!!

1 upvotes 1 year ago

PP405 is a growth stimulant drug that activates hair follicle stem cells but does not reverse miniaturization like finasteride. It is not a cure for hair loss and is not an alternative to minoxidil, but it may help grow hair if successful.
