Glossary Actin Cytoskeleton

dynamic network of actin filaments supporting cell shape and movement

The actin cytoskeleton, also known as the actin filament network, is a dynamic structure composed of actin proteins that form filaments within cells. It plays a crucial role in maintaining cell shape, enabling cell movement, and facilitating various cellular processes such as division and intracellular transport. This network is essential for the structural integrity and functionality of cells, including those involved in hair growth and maintenance.

community Mechanism of action of alfatradiol (17 alpha estradiol)

5 upvotes 2 years ago

The conversation discusses the mechanism of action of alfatradiol (17 alpha estradiol) in treating hair loss. It explores theories that it either inhibits 5 alpha reductase to prevent T->DHT conversion or aromatizes scalp T into 17-alpha-estradiol to save hair.

community Mechanism of Action these drugs re-grow hair?

2 upvotes 2 years ago

Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841 promote hair growth by different mechanisms, with minoxidil and prostaglandin E1 being specifically mentioned. Corticosteroids can also cause hair growth.

community RU58841 is great, super fast acting!

6 upvotes 2 months ago

RU58841 is praised for its fast-acting effects on hair regrowth, with the user also using finasteride, minoxidil, dutasteride, and GHKcu. Some users report side effects like chest pain, while others see positive results, but it's unclear which treatment is most effective due to multiple compounds being used simultaneously.
