Did you mean Stem Cell Behavior?

Glossary Stem Cell Behavior

ability of stem cells to self-renew and differentiate

Stem cell behavior refers to the various activities and responses of stem cells, including their ability to self-renew (make more of themselves) and differentiate (turn into different types of cells). This behavior is crucial for tissue repair and regeneration, as well as for maintaining the balance of cell types in the body. Understanding stem cell behavior is essential for developing treatments for conditions like alopecia, where hair follicle stem cells might be targeted to promote hair growth.

community How far are we from a treatment better than finasteride?

in Treatment 129 upvotes 1 year ago

Dutasteride is more effective than finasteride for hair loss as it blocks more of the enzyme causing hair loss. New treatments like stem cell therapies and alternatives to minoxidil are being explored, but major advancements are still years away.

community Why does this industry still revolve around 5-AR inhibitors?

40 upvotes 5 years ago

Hair loss treatments still rely heavily on minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841, with little innovation. Future treatments like stem cell therapy and RNA technology show promise but are not yet available.

community PP405 Won’t Work: Follicle Is Miniaturized, Fibrosed, And Missing Key Support Cells

7 months ago

PP405 is ineffective for miniaturized, fibrosed hair follicles in androgenetic alopecia. AMP303 may activate hair follicle stem cells, but minoxidil and finasteride are still the main treatments.

community DHT Isn’t the Only Factor in Hair Loss and That Might Be the Key to a Real Cure

373 upvotes 6 months ago

Hair loss involves more than just DHT, with genetic factors like TRPS affecting hair follicles. Treatments such as Amplifica's AMP-601 and AMP-303 target stem cells for potential hair growth solutions.

community Doctor says i shouldn't take fin because its "hormonal"

102 upvotes 2 years ago

A user in Turkey was advised by a dermatologist to avoid finasteride due to its hormonal effects and was prescribed minoxidil, shampoo, and vitamins instead. The user is considering seeking another doctor's opinion or buying finasteride directly from a pharmacy.
