research Lineage potential, plasticity and environmental reprogramming of epithelial stem/progenitor cells
Environmental cues can change the fate and function of epithelial cells, with potential for cell therapy.
research Editors' Picks
New findings suggest targeting IL-23 could treat psoriasis, skin cells can adapt to new roles, direct conversion of skin cells to blood cells may aid cell therapy, removing certain tumor cells could boost cancer immunotherapy, and melanoma may have many tumorigenic cells, not just cancer stem cells.
research Efficient Generation of Skin Organoids from Pluripotent Cells via Defined Extracellular Matrix Cues and Morphogen Gradients in a Spindle‐Shaped Microfluidic Device
Scientists developed a new way to create skin-like structures from stem cells using a special 3D gel and a device that improves cell organization and increases hair growth.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Why do we get bald from evolutionary perspective
Baldness is not an evolutionary disadvantage because it occurs after reproductive age. Treatments like Minoxidil and Finasteride are used for androgenetic alopecia but don't address the root cause.
community How long does it take after an environmental / lifestyle change for hair loss to actually slow down?
Lifestyle changes may not significantly impact hair loss, as factors like DHT and genetics play a larger role. Some users suggest treatments like finasteride, dutasteride, and microneedling for hair growth.
community Minoxidil: How It Changes the Scalp Hormone Environment
Minoxidil increases blood supply to the scalp, strengthening dormant follicles and extending the growth phase, but may increase scalp activity that can be countered with DHT blockers. Women experiencing side effects from finasteride or dutasteride for hair loss might consider alternatives like estrogen, especially if on birth control.
community Minoxidil Storage Conditions in Summer
Store minoxidil and minoxidil+finasteride solutions in a cool environment, ideally below 25°C, to maintain effectiveness. Consider using a wine cellar or fridge for stable, low temperatures.
community Hair regrow idea: High dose Testosterone + RU58841
Using high doses of testosterone with RU58841 to create an androgen-free environment for hair regrowth is suggested, but concerns about heart health and the effectiveness of this approach are raised. Alternatives like topical estrogen, progesterone, and other treatments like finasteride and dutasteride are discussed.
