GlossaryBone Marrow Transplantation (Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation)

medical procedure replacing damaged bone marrow with healthy stem cells

Bone Marrow Transplantation (BMT), also known as Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT), is a medical procedure used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. This treatment is often used for patients with certain cancers like leukemia or lymphoma, as well as other blood or immune system disorders. The healthy stem cells can come from the patient (autologous transplant) or a donor (allogeneic transplant).

community Painkillers May Block Minoxidil

in Research/Science 15 upvotes 10 months ago

Painkillers like Aspirin may reduce Minoxidil's effectiveness by inhibiting the enzyme PGHS-1, which is crucial for hair growth. Using NSAIDs that inhibit COX-2 or combining Minoxidil with PGF2/E2 analogues or retinoids may enhance its efficacy.
