Did you mean T helper 1 cells?

Glossary T helper 1 cells

specialized immune cells that produce cytokines to fight infections

T helper 1 cells, often abbreviated as Th1 cells, are a subset of T cells that play a crucial role in the immune system by producing cytokines like interferon-gamma (IFN-γ). These cytokines help activate macrophages and are essential for defending against intracellular pathogens such as viruses and certain bacteria. Th1 cells are also involved in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases by promoting inflammation.

community Why isn't anyone using Way-316606? If it works then it grows a full head of hair back on most people

in Treatment 134 upvotes 1 year ago

Way-316606 is considered a potential hair loss treatment but is avoided due to safety concerns and lack of research. Minoxidil and Finasteride are preferred as established treatments.

community Minoxidil doesn’t work over night.

in Is this regrowth? 196 upvotes 1 year ago

Minoxidil requires at least 6 months to show results and may not work for everyone. Combining it with Finasteride can improve outcomes, but stopping Minoxidil can result in losing any regrowth.
