Glossary Lipid Nanoparticles

tiny, fat-based carriers used to deliver drugs into cells

Lipid Nanoparticles (LNPs) are tiny, spherical particles made from lipids, which are fat-like molecules. They are used to deliver drugs, including genetic material like mRNA, directly into cells. This technology is crucial in modern medicine, such as in the development of mRNA vaccines for COVID-19, because it protects the therapeutic material and ensures it reaches the target cells effectively.

community We already know how to permanently fix hair loss. The science is done. The only thing missing is the funding to run one experiment.

in Technology 613 upvotes 4 months ago

A permanent hair loss solution could involve reprogramming hair follicles to resist DHT using mRNA and siRNA. However, high costs, safety concerns, and the pharmaceutical industry's preference for ongoing treatments over one-time cures are major obstacles, with finasteride and minoxidil remaining standard treatments.

community Peptides that Stop Hair Loss? | In-depth Literature Review Video

76 upvotes 2 years ago

Peptides like TB500, KPV, GHK-CU, and BPC-157 are overhyped for hair growth with limited proven effectiveness in humans. Combining peptides with delivery methods like iontophoresis and sonophoresis shows promise, but many claims remain unproven.

community Stopping min on scalp - psoriasis

in Minoxidil 35 upvotes 1 year ago

A user with mild psoriasis on the scalp is using finasteride, topical minoxidil, and dermarolling for hair loss but plans to stop minoxidil on the crown due to psoriasis aggravation. Suggestions include switching to a lipid-based minoxidil, using Ketoconazole shampoo, or trying oral minoxidil.

community Hair Loss & Lipids: Why you have sebderm, folliculitis, LPP, inflammation, etc...

131 upvotes 1 year ago

Excess sebum rich in cholesterol and triglycerides can lead to hair loss through inflammation, with treatments like Ciclopirox shampoo, Benzoyl Peroxide shampoo, and Clindamycin gel recommended for managing conditions like seborrheic dermatitis and folliculitis. Pioglitazone is suggested for Lichen Planopilaris, while Omega-3s and reducing processed foods may improve sebum quality, though genetic factors play a significant role.
