GlossaryNanotechnology

science of manipulating matter at atomic or molecular scale

Nanotechnology is the science and engineering of manipulating matter at the atomic or molecular scale, typically less than 100 nanometers. This technology enables the creation of new materials and devices with unique properties and functions, which can be applied in various fields including medicine, electronics, and energy. For instance, in the context of hair and alopecia, nanotechnology can be used to develop advanced drug delivery systems that target hair follicles more effectively.

community Peptides that Stop Hair Loss? | In-depth Literature Review Video

in Research/Science 75 upvotes 1 year ago

Peptides like TB500, KPV, GHK-CU, and BPC-157 are overhyped for hair growth with limited proven effectiveness in humans. Combining peptides with delivery methods like iontophoresis and sonophoresis shows promise, but many claims remain unproven.

community The theory that explains everything. Please help me make this big!

in Research/Science 2450 upvotes 4 years ago

The post and conversation are about the role of the enzyme 3alpha-hydroxysteroid reductase in hair loss and the potential of compounds like procyanidin B2 and sulforaphane to boost its activity for hair regrowth. Further research is needed to develop effective treatments based on this theory.
