Glossary Neural 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 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 Average r/bald user complaining

401 upvotes 9 months ago

Hair loss treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841, focusing on their effectiveness and side effects. It also highlights the disparity in medical research funding between hair loss and conditions like endometriosis.

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 Reducing Fibrosis in Hair Loss: Topical Pirfenidone

59 upvotes 5 months ago

Topical pirfenidone is highlighted as an effective anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic treatment for hair loss, particularly in addressing perifollicular fibrosis, which may enhance the effectiveness of standard treatments like finasteride and minoxidil. The user also uses calcipotriol, MCT oil, ciclopirox shampoo, and benzoyl peroxide shampoo as part of their regimen.

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.
