GlossaryNeural 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 I enjoy taking finasteride every day

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 241 upvotes 6 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 1 month Pyrilutamide. A non responders story to everything.

in Research/Science 218 upvotes 2 years ago

My hairline, I am only 23. This conversation is about a user's experience with treatments for androgenic alopecia, including finasteride, dutasteride, RU, minoxidil, progesterone, melatonin, LLLT, oral minoxidil, and Pyrilutamide. They have tried many treatments over the course of two years without seeing much success, and they are considering getting a hair system as a last resort.

community I have hairy legs and arms, and the hair grows 2+ inches long- Can I transplant it all to my head?

in Transplants 442 upvotes 3 months ago

The conversation discusses the possibility of transplanting leg and arm hair to the scalp for hair loss treatment. Minoxidil is mentioned as a potential aid for hair growth, but concerns about the effectiveness and appearance of body hair on the head are raised.

community This shit works like magic, aka 50 days on oral min&fin

in Progress Pictures 170 upvotes 4 months ago
