Glossary Cell Viability Assay

measures the number of living cells in a sample

A Cell Viability Assay is a laboratory test used to determine the health and functionality of cells by measuring the number of living cells in a sample. This test is crucial for research in areas like cancer, drug development, and tissue engineering, as it helps scientists understand how different treatments or conditions affect cell survival and growth.

community Polydopamine Synergizes with Quercetin Nanosystem to Reshape the Perifollicular Microenvironment for Accelerating Hair Regrowth in Androgenetic Alopecia.

11 upvotes 2 years ago

A quercetin-encapsulated and polydopamine-integrated nanosystem (PDA@QLipo) shows promise for treating androgenetic alopecia by reshaping the perifollicular microenvironment, outperforming minoxidil in hair regeneration. The nanosystem promotes cell proliferation, hair follicle renewal, and recovery by scavenging reactive oxygen species and enhancing neovascularity.

community Dutasteride SAVES your hair follicles: MAJOR BS on people who say it destroyed their hair permanently.

158 upvotes 2 years ago

The conversation discusses the effectiveness of hair loss treatments, specifically finasteride and dutasteride. The conclusion is that dutasteride significantly reduces DHT levels and may be more effective than finasteride for long-term hair retention, with some users reporting personal experiences and side effects.

community My Testosterone results before and after Finasteride

147 upvotes 5 years ago

Finasteride significantly increased testosterone levels for the user, with no major side effects except watery semen, which was resolved with zinc supplements. The user's hairline stopped receding and slightly improved.

community My DHT levels have increased after taking 0.25mg Fin for 47 days!

186 upvotes 1 year ago

A user experienced increased hair shedding and unchanged DHT levels after taking 0.25mg of finasteride for 47 days, leading them to increase the dose to 0.5mg. Others discussed varying experiences with finasteride, minoxidil, and the importance of measuring scalp DHT.

community "Creatine causes hair loss" myth debunked once and for all

22 upvotes 3 years ago

Creatine does not directly cause hair loss but may increase DHT levels, potentially worsening hair loss in those predisposed to male pattern baldness. Users have mixed experiences, with some reporting increased shedding and others seeing no effect.
