    GlossaryAdhesion Molecules

    proteins on cell surfaces that enable cell-to-cell binding

    Adhesion molecules are proteins located on the surface of cells that help them stick to each other and to their surroundings. They play a crucial role in various biological processes, such as immune response, wound healing, and the maintenance of tissue structure. For example, in the context of hair biology, adhesion molecules can influence how hair follicle cells interact and function, potentially impacting conditions like alopecia.

      community New Hair Loss Treatment: Adipose Derived Secretomes

      in Research/Science  17 upvotes 11 months ago
      Adipose-derived stem cell secretome showed significant improvement in hair density and growth, especially when combined with minoxidil, suggesting a synergistic effect. The study had limitations, including a small sample size and potential bias.

      community MCL1 does anyone knows anthying about it

      in Research/Science  9 upvotes 11 months ago
      MCL-1 protein may help maintain hair follicles in the growth phase and prevent miniaturization. There is interest in experimental treatments like exosomes, peptides, or stem cell serums to upregulate MCL-1 for hair loss, especially for those not using minoxidil or finasteride.
