GlossaryStem Cell Differentiation

process where unspecialized cells become specialized cell types

Stem cell differentiation is the process by which unspecialized stem cells develop into specialized cells with distinct functions, such as skin cells, muscle cells, or nerve cells. This process is crucial for growth, development, and tissue repair, as it allows the body to generate the specific cell types needed for various functions and structures.

community A stress hormone has been found to signal through skin cells to repress the activation of hair-follicle stem cells in mice

in Research/Science 32 upvotes 5 years ago

Stress can lead to hair loss by affecting hair-follicle stem cells, and this loss is harder to recover from if one has male pattern baldness (MPB). Treatments like finasteride and minoxidil are used to address hair loss, but stress-related hair loss differs from androgenic alopecia.

community Does RU58841 potentially cause cancer?

in Research/Science 1 year ago

RU58841 may pose cancer risks due to its antiandrogen properties and lack of long-term safety data. Using it is considered a high-risk experiment with unknown potential for harm.
