GlossaryNeural Differentiation

process where stem cells become specialized nerve cells

Neural differentiation, also known as neuronal differentiation, is the process by which stem cells or progenitor cells develop into specialized nerve cells, or neurons. This involves a series of genetic and biochemical changes that enable these cells to acquire the unique structures and functions necessary for transmitting nerve impulses and forming complex neural networks.

The user shared their personal experience with hair loss, hormone imbalances, and treatments including testosterone boosters, natural estrogen blockers, and DHEA. They suggest that low-dose finasteride and natural hormone therapy could reduce hair loss with fewer side effects.
