GlossaryMicrovascular Endothelial Cells

specialized cells lining tiny blood vessels in tissues

Microvascular Endothelial Cells (MVECs) are specialized cells that line the tiny blood vessels, or microvasculature, within tissues. They play a crucial role in regulating blood flow, nutrient exchange, and the immune response. These cells are essential for maintaining tissue health and are involved in processes like wound healing and inflammation.

community Opinions on Scalp fibrosis and DHT?

in Research/Science 9 upvotes 2 years ago

The conversation discusses the theory that scalp fibrosis contributes to male pattern baldness (MPB) by increasing DHT concentration, and mentions treatments like Minoxidil. The user seeks opinions on the theory and the effectiveness of scalp massages.

community Scalp tension and thickness of the galea aponeurotica, inflammation and potential treatment pathways

in Research/Science 2 years ago

Scalp tension potentially affecting hair loss, and potential treatments for male pattern baldness such as Minoxidil, Finasteride and RU58841. Evidence from a study was discussed which suggests that the cause of MPB lies within the follicle itself and is not dependent on its surrounding environment.

community A Different Take on Curing MBP

16 upvotes 5 years ago

Addressing hair loss by focusing on posture, blood flow, and craniofacial development. Methods include improving posture, cardiovascular activity, scalp massages, healthy diet, meditation, using minoxidil, and addressing craniofacial issues.
