Glossary Neural Crest Stem Cells

originate from the neural crest and can become various cell types

Neural Crest Stem Cells (NCSCs) are a type of multipotent stem cell that originate from the neural crest, a transient structure in vertebrate embryos. These cells have the remarkable ability to differentiate into a diverse range of cell types, including neurons, glial cells, melanocytes, and even some types of connective tissue. This versatility makes them crucial for the development of various tissues and organs, and they are a significant focus in regenerative medicine and developmental biology research.

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 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 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.
