X-linked ectodermal dysplasia receptor XEDAR non-canonical NF-κB pathway p100 p52 RelB TRAF3 TRAF6 NIK IKKα TRAF binding sites CIAP1 A20

TLDR XEDAR triggers a specific signaling pathway in cells.

The 2015 study by Verhelst et al. found that the X-linked ectodermal dysplasia receptor (XEDAR) activates the non-canonical NF-κB signaling pathway, which involves the conversion of p100 to p52 and the subsequent movement of p52 and RelB into the nucleus. The activation of this pathway by XEDAR requires the interaction with TRAF3 and TRAF6, as well as the kinase activities of NIK and IKKα. Mutations in XEDAR's TRAF binding sites significantly reduced its ability to activate this signaling pathway. The study also identified that NIK accumulation is induced by XEDAR and that p100 processing is negatively regulated by TRAF3, CIAP1, and A20. These findings enhance the understanding of XEDAR's role in the molecular mechanisms governing non-canonical NF-κB signaling.

community Hair loss and ethnicity - Caucasian men the most likely to experience hair loss

in Chat 17 upvotes 2 years ago

The conversation discusses how Caucasian men are more likely to experience hair loss due to genetic predisposition, with factors like the androgen receptor on the X chromosome playing a significant role. The user also expresses confusion about the evolutionary reasons for hair loss, especially in colder climates where it would seem beneficial to retain hair for warmth.

community In my opinion baldness is more prevalent now and it's being ignored..

The conversation is about the prevalence of baldness among young men and the potential factors contributing to it. Specific treatments mentioned include minoxidil and finasteride.

community Why balding gets worse in every generation?

in Chat 81 upvotes 6 months ago

Balding seems to worsen with each generation, possibly due to stress, diet, and environmental factors. The user started treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride.

community I find it funny a bunch of us on here are on drugs for hairloss and maintain clean/healthy lives and then there’s these mf’s in the 90’s juiced to the gills with steroids and have better hair than all of us lol

The conversation is about the effects of steroids on hair loss. Some users believe that steroids can cause hair loss, while others argue that it depends on individual sensitivity to DHT. There is also discussion about the appearance of balding individuals who use steroids.

community Frequency/strength of topical minoxidil application

in Research/Science 13 upvotes 1 year ago

The conversation discusses the effectiveness of Minoxidil (Min) for hair loss treatment. It concludes that applying a 5% solution once daily is sufficient, and applying it twice daily doesn't provide much more benefit. However, if a higher concentration is beneficial, it can be achieved by more frequent application.

community Evidenced Based Meta-Analyses and Systemic Reviews of Androgenic Alopecia and Treatments

in Research/Science 14 upvotes 4 years ago

Evidence-based treatments for androgenic alopecia, such as minoxidil, finasteride, low-level laser light therapy, dutasteride, platelet-rich plasma, and topical ketoconazole. It discusses the efficacy, safety, and mechanism of action of these treatments, as well as future developments in understanding this polygenic condition.
