Did you mean Stem Cell Populations?

GlossaryStem Cell Populations

groups of cells capable of self-renewal and differentiation

Stem cell populations refer to groups of stem cells that share similar characteristics and functions within a specific tissue or organ. These cells have the unique ability to self-renew and differentiate into various specialized cell types, playing a crucial role in tissue repair and regeneration. In the context of hair, stem cell populations in hair follicles are essential for the growth and cycling of hair, and their dysfunction can lead to conditions like alopecia.

community Why did this recent research paper from professor Tsuji lab in Japan largely go unnoticed by this sub? Isn't this discovery huge? (hair cloning)

in Research/Science 31 upvotes 2 months ago

A recent discovery in hair cloning identified a previously unknown cell type essential for hair follicle growth, which could potentially make lab-grown hair viable if translated to humans. However, skepticism remains due to past delays and the challenges of replicating results in humans and making the process affordable.

community Massive hair gains! Hope! May this post be a light to you in dark phases when all other lights go out

in Progress Pictures 193 upvotes 2 years ago

A 27-year-old man saw significant hair regrowth after starting a regimen in January that included topical minoxidil with finasteride, vitamins D and B12, fish oil, zinc with magnesium, quitting smoking, and intermittent fasting. People commented on the effectiveness of minoxidil in Southern populations and asked about the details and timeline of his treatment.

community Researchers working on ways to regenerate lost hair from stem cells identified a recipe for normal hair regeneration in the lab. “A method for cyclical regeneration of hair follicles from hair follicle stem cells and will help make hair follicle regeneration therapy a reality in the near future.”

in Research/Science 259 upvotes 5 years ago

Hair loss treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and hair transplants have side effects and limitations. There is hope for future advancements in stem cell therapy and hair follicle regeneration, though skepticism about their effectiveness and timeline persists.
