GlossaryInduced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSCs)

cells reprogrammed from adult cells to an embryonic-like state

Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSCs) are a type of stem cell that scientists create by reprogramming adult cells, such as skin or blood cells, to revert to an embryonic-like state. This process allows these cells to potentially develop into any type of cell in the body, making them valuable for research, regenerative medicine, and disease modeling.

community How soon is hair clone? Next five years?!

in Research/Science 15 upvotes 5 months ago

Hair cloning is humorously discussed as always being 5-7 years away, with skepticism about its near-term availability. Gene editing to reactivate dormant follicles is suggested as a more likely solution within the next ten years.

community Why anecdotal evidence is so valued around here?

in Chat 18 upvotes 8 months ago

The conversation discusses why personal stories about hair loss treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride are often taken more seriously than scientific evidence in certain forums. People tend to believe what they want and use others' experiences to support their own views on treatment effectiveness and side effects.

community Do you believe there will be a game changing treatment in the next 10 years?

in Chat 67 upvotes 2 years ago

Users discuss potential game-changing hair loss treatments in the next 10 years. Some mention KX-826, SCUBE3, and stem cells as promising options, while others express doubt due to past disappointments and lack of focused research.
