GlossaryMultipotent Stem Cells (multipotent progenitor cells)

can develop into multiple, but limited, cell types

Multipotent stem cells are a type of stem cell that can develop into multiple, but limited, cell types within a particular tissue or organ. For example, hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow can differentiate into various types of blood cells, but not into cells of other tissues like neurons or muscle cells. These cells are crucial for tissue repair and regeneration, making them a significant focus in medical research and therapies.

community Microneedling and aloe vera to recruit stem cells.

in Chat 11 upvotes 10 months ago

Microneedling combined with aloe vera may stimulate dormant stem cells in hair loss areas. Minoxidil is also suggested for better results.
