Glossary Pluripotent Stem Cells

cells that can develop into nearly any cell type

Pluripotent Stem Cells (PSCs) are a type of stem cell that have the ability to develop into almost any cell type in the body, including skin, hair, and organ cells. This makes them incredibly valuable for medical research and regenerative medicine, as they can potentially be used to repair or replace damaged tissues and treat various conditions, including alopecia.

community Update and new paper from Dr tsuji

26 upvotes 7 years ago

Hair follicle regenerative therapy is being developed, with clinical trials planned in Japan, potentially allowing for hair cloning and eliminating the need for treatments like finasteride. If successful, the treatment could be available in Japan by 2025, but widespread access and affordability may take longer.

community Fats on your Head to Stop Hair Loss?

140 upvotes 2 years ago

The conversation discusses the potential of long-chain unsaturated fatty acids, like oleic and linoleic acid, as an additional treatment for hair loss, which may inhibit the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone to DHT and promote hair growth. 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.

community The Real Cause Of Androgenetic Alopecia

675 upvotes 1 year ago

Androgenetic alopecia is caused by DHT affecting hair growth. Finasteride and minoxidil are used to manage hair loss by blocking DHT and promoting hair growth.
