Glossary Neural Crest

group of embryonic cells that form diverse tissues

The neural crest is a group of cells in vertebrate embryos that emerge from the edges of the neural tube, which later develops into the central nervous system. These cells migrate to various parts of the body and differentiate into a diverse range of tissues, including some types of neurons, glial cells, and even pigment cells in the skin.

community Why do we have head hair in first place if we evolved to start losing it in some cases as soon as puberty hits

140 upvotes 11 months ago

Hair loss is influenced by genetics and sensitivity to hormones like DHT. Treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride are commonly used, and baldness persists as it doesn't affect reproductive success.

community Why does this industry still revolve around 5-AR inhibitors?

40 upvotes 5 years ago

Hair loss treatments still rely heavily on minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841, with little innovation. Future treatments like stem cell therapy and RNA technology show promise but are not yet available.

community One year off fin/min and I regret it

416 upvotes 1 year ago

The user regrets stopping finasteride and minoxidil due to side effects but plans to resume treatment. They consider using finasteride every other day and continuing topical minoxidil to manage side effects while maintaining hair.

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 Finasteride and “anti-aging” effects

in Treatment 218 upvotes 1 year ago

Finasteride may help users look younger by suppressing DHT, affecting skin and hair. Users also emphasize skincare, sunscreen, and lifestyle for maintaining a youthful appearance.
