GlossaryCell Reprogramming

process of converting specialized cells into stem cell-like states

Cell Reprogramming, also known as Cellular Reprogramming, is a process where specialized cells, such as skin cells, are converted back into a more primitive, stem cell-like state. This is typically achieved by introducing specific genes or proteins that reset the cell's identity, allowing it to potentially develop into different types of cells. This technique holds significant promise for regenerative medicine, including treatments for conditions like alopecia, where new hair follicles could be generated from reprogrammed cells.

community Hair Multiplication Projects in China - Promising clinical trial results on Mice

in Technology 35 upvotes 1 year ago

A breakthrough in hair follicle cultivation using induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) has been achieved, producing large hair follicles suitable for transplantation. Clinical trials for this hair multiplication technology are planned in partnership with Yinguan Biotechnology.

community We already know how to permanently fix hair loss. The science is done. The only thing missing is the funding to run one experiment.

in Technology 613 upvotes 2 months ago

A permanent hair loss solution could involve reprogramming hair follicles to resist DHT using mRNA and siRNA. However, high costs, safety concerns, and the pharmaceutical industry's preference for ongoing treatments over one-time cures are major obstacles, with finasteride and minoxidil remaining standard treatments.

community Do you believe there will be a game changing treatment in the next 10 years?

in Chat 67 upvotes 4 years ago

Users discuss potential game-changing hair loss treatments in the next 10 years. Some mention KX-826, SCUBE3, and stem cells as promising options, while others express doubt due to past disappointments and lack of focused research.

community The mechanism of androgenic alopecia

in Research/Science 34 upvotes 9 months ago

DHT may inhibit hair growth by affecting mitochondrial function, leading to hair follicle miniaturization. Treatments like minoxidil and PP405 may promote hair growth by altering metabolic pathways, potentially counteracting DHT's effects.

community Tazarotene shows strong standalone hair regrowth potential, not just a Minoxidil enhancer. Backed by VEGF, HF regeneration, and angiogenesis pathways. Here’s why.

in Research/Science 133 upvotes 1 year ago

Tazarotene shows potential as a standalone treatment for hair regrowth by stimulating new hair follicle formation and promoting angiogenesis, similar to microneedling effects. It can be used topically without minoxidil, but users should start with a low concentration to avoid irritation.
