Glossaryscaffolds

structures supporting cell growth and tissue formation

In the context of hair and biology, scaffolds refer to structures made from biocompatible materials that provide a supportive framework for cells to grow and form new tissues. These scaffolds can be used in regenerative medicine to help repair or replace damaged tissues, including hair follicles, by mimicking the natural extracellular matrix and promoting cell adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation.

community L'Oreal working on Hair Cloning - Poster Presentation

in Research/Science 23 upvotes 5 years ago

L'Oreal is working on hair cloning, with multiple companies using similar techniques, making hair cloning likely by 2030. The conversation expresses optimism about the progress and potential affordability of hair cloning solutions.

community If we can clone a sheep why we can't cure baldness till now

in Research/Science 181 upvotes 2 months ago

Hair loss treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, and stem cell therapies exist, but a complete cure is hindered by genetic complexity and market dynamics. Cloning hair follicles is considered a potential solution, but it's currently not feasible.

community Sugars ARE important for hair growth | Glycosaminoglycans as Hair Growth Stimulant

in Research/Science 78 upvotes 1 year ago

Glycosaminoglycans are important for hair growth, and combining minoxidil with tretinoin and Biopeptide-CL may enhance hair growth by boosting glycosaminoglycan levels and improving the hair follicle environment. Users discussed the potential effectiveness and future of these treatments.

community Compressed part of research of theory of androgenic/anabolitic balance. AGA h-responders analytic. Theory of physio-metabolitic method of anti AGA treatment

in Research 865 upvotes 1 year ago

The treatment for androgenetic alopecia involves using finasteride and minoxidil with intense exercise and cold exposure to boost metabolism and reduce androgenic effects, potentially leading to hair regrowth. This approach may activate biological pathways for improved hair and overall health.

community If you’re on the fence about Finasteride, don’t wait!

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 78 upvotes 3 years ago

Finasteride, a medication for hair loss that has both positive and negative effects. Users discussed their own personal experiences with the drug as well as potential side-effects of taking it, such as erectile dysfunction or gynecomastia. Suggestions were also made about starting at a lower dosage to minimize these risks.
