    GlossaryPluripotency Genes (Pluripotency Factors)

    enable cells to develop into any cell type

    Pluripotency genes, also known as pluripotency factors, are specific genes that enable a cell to develop into any type of cell in the body. These genes, such as Oct4, Sox2, and Nanog, are crucial for maintaining the self-renewal and undifferentiated state of stem cells, allowing them to potentially regenerate damaged tissues or organs.

Users humorously suggest using oils topically and discuss other hair loss treatments, but the main focus is on the science behind fatty acids and their role in hair health.
