    GlossaryRegulation of Cell Death

    processes controlling when and how cells die

    Regulation of cell death refers to the processes that control when and how cells die, ensuring that damaged or unnecessary cells are removed in a controlled manner. This is crucial for maintaining healthy tissues and organs, and involves mechanisms like apoptosis (programmed cell death) and necrosis (uncontrolled cell death). Proper regulation prevents diseases such as cancer, where cells avoid death and proliferate uncontrollably, or degenerative diseases, where excessive cell death occurs.

      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.
