Did you mean Lipid Nanoparticles?

GlossaryLipid 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 to all people who cannot tolerate anti androgens (loe dose topical fin, pyrilutamide, CB) i am getting desperate, looking for a solution

in Research/Science 13 upvotes 2 years ago

The user tried Minoxidil without success, and Finasteride worked but caused sexual side effects even at a very low dose. They are seeking alternative treatments for hair loss as they cannot tolerate anti-androgens and are also in therapy for mental health.

community Fats on your Head to Stop Hair Loss?

in Research/Science 138 upvotes 1 year ago

The conversation discusses the potential of long-chain unsaturated fatty acids, like oleic and linoleic acid, as an additional treatment for hair loss, which may inhibit the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone to DHT and promote hair growth. Users humorously suggest using oils topically and discuss other hair loss treatments, but the main focus is on the science behind fatty acids and their role in hair health.
