research How Does pH Fit in with Oscillating Polar Growth?
The document reviewed the role of pH in oscillating polar growth in root hairs and pollen tubes, focusing on the acid growth theory and the unclear mechanisms regulating apoplastic pH (apopH). It proposed that oscillatory polar growth, occurring every 20-40 seconds, was regulated by calcium (Ca²+), reactive oxygen species (ROS), and pH gradients. NADPH oxidases (NOXs) and type-III peroxidases (PERs) were identified as key players in ROS homeostasis, influencing cell wall dynamics. The study emphasized the role of plasma membrane H+-ATPases (AHAs) in apoplastic pH regulation, modulated by auxin, affecting cell wall loosening and growth. It highlighted the need for further understanding of these oscillations and their role in plant cell expansion, suggesting future research directions to enhance crop growth under stress conditions.
research The Auxin-Regulated CrRLK1L Kinase ERULUS Controls Cell Wall Composition During Root Hair Tip Growth
ERULUS controls root hair growth by regulating cell wall composition and pectin activity.
research Anti-Acne Agents Attenuate FGFR2 Signal Transduction in Acne
Anti-acne medications may work by reducing the activity of a protein involved in acne development.
research The Water Soluble Vitamins: Choline, Biotin, Inositol, and Para-Aminobenzoic Acid
Choline and biotin are important for liver health and preventing certain deficiencies in animals, and more research is needed to understand their benefits in humans.
research Experimental and Clinical Pharmacology of Ziziphus Jujuba Mills
Ziziphus jujuba Mills may have health benefits, but more research is needed to confirm its safety and effectiveness.

5 / 505 resultscommunity My hair loss theory and what I did to stop my hair loss. 6 years of stabilization.
A user shared their personal theory on hair loss, suggesting it's caused by reduced blood flow and scalp calcification rather than DHT, and claimed to have stopped their hair loss by massaging the scalp, using acid peels, and applying oils and copper peptides. They have not noticed further hair loss for six years since starting this routine.
community Hair Growth Journey: 10 months
A 31-year-old who experienced severe hair loss during medical school tried various treatments, including topical and oral finasteride and minoxidil, but stopped due to side effects. They restarted treatment 10 months ago with a regimen including topical finasteride, minoxidil, retinoic acid, hydrocortisone, oral minoxidil, and light therapy, emphasizing the importance of consistency and skincare.
community I fixed my hair shedding without Fin, Dut, RU, Pyri and Microneedling
A user reports significantly reduced hair shedding by using a topical mixture containing 10% Minoxidil, 0.1% Melatonin, 5% Azelaic Acid, 5% Rosemary Oil, and 5% Peppermint Oil, and attributes the success mainly to Melatonin. They also use a copper peptide serum (AHK-Cu) for hair growth and Ketoconazole shampoo for scalp cleaning, but have stopped using other treatments like Finasteride and RU58841.
community LPT: If your scalp is greasy, itchy, you have flakes and other crud, get a Psoriasis shampoo
Psoriasis shampoo with salicylic acid can improve scalp health and hair quality better than Nizoral. It helps create a cleaner environment for hair growth, especially when using treatments like finasteride.
community Fats on your Head to Stop Hair Loss?
The conversation discusses the potential of long-chain unsaturated fatty acids, like oleic and linoleic acid, as an additional treatment for hair loss, which may inhibit the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone to DHT and promote hair growth. Users humorously suggest using oils topically and discuss other hair loss treatments, but the main focus is on the science behind fatty acids and their role in hair health.
