community Weed/THC effects on hair growth/hair loss, and vitality of organ-culture human follicle studies (research review)

in Research/Science 4 upvotes 1 year ago

Cannabis and THC may have mixed effects on hair, with some studies suggesting potential negative impacts on hair growth in isolated hair follicles, but these results are hard to apply to living humans. Treatments like minoxidil and finasteride are commonly used for hair loss, and the effects of cannabis might be neutral or vary based on individual factors.

community Riken develops new method for culturing hair follicles

41 upvotes 8 years ago

A new stem cell method for culturing hair follicles is being developed as an alternative to Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841. There are concerns about its cost and accessibility despite plans for commercialization.

community The new growth in hair loss research: With increasing evidence of its impact on mental health, scientists are pushing forward with breakthroughs on balding. Later this year, scientists will launch one of the first ever clinical trials with hair follicles grown entirely from stem cells.

319 upvotes 6 years ago

Hair loss impacts mental health, with treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, and stem cell transplants discussed. There is hope for future breakthroughs, but current treatments are limited, and awareness is lacking.

community HairClone developing cell replacement treatments for Hair Loss

7 upvotes 7 years ago

HairClone is developing cell replacement treatments to rejuvenate and generate hair follicles, and has launched a crowdfunding campaign. A user expressed skepticism about the need for crowdfunding.
