GlossaryNeural Stem Cells

specialized brain cells that can become various neural cell types

Neural Stem Cells (NSCs) are specialized cells in the brain and spinal cord that have the ability to develop into different types of neural cells, including neurons, astrocytes, and oligodendrocytes. They play a crucial role in brain development, repair, and regeneration, and are being studied for their potential in treating neurological disorders and injuries.

community I enjoy taking finasteride every day

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 241 upvotes 7 months ago

Users discuss their positive experiences with finasteride for hair loss, mentioning halted hair loss, hair regrowth, and improved self-esteem. Some express satisfaction in taking action against baldness, while others note increased libido and energy.

community Anyone excited for CosmeRNA coming this month?

in Product 171 upvotes 1 year ago

CosmeRNA, a new hair loss treatment, is expected to release soon and may become part of the "big three" treatments alongside finasteride and minoxidil. It works differently from finasteride by targeting androgen receptors in hair follicles, potentially offering fewer side effects.

community What’s the most effective way to beat Serb Derm?

in Treatment 7 upvotes 3 months ago

OP struggles with scalp flakes causing hair loss and has tried Selsun Blue, Ketoconazole, and ZPT Shampoo without success. Suggestions include using salicylic acid shampoo, shaving the head, using Nizoral, and combining treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride.

community Using essential oils as well as minoxidil?

in Minoxidil 6 upvotes 6 years ago

The conversation is about using a blend of coconut oil, peppermint oil, and rosemary oil with minoxidil for hair loss, and whether it's safe to apply this blend after microneedling.

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

in Research/Science 74 upvotes 5 months 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.
