Did you mean AKT signaling pathway?

Glossary AKT signaling pathway

regulates cell growth, survival, and metabolism

The AKT signaling pathway, also known as the Protein Kinase B (PKB) pathway, is a crucial cell signaling system that regulates various cellular processes, including growth, survival, and metabolism. It is activated by growth factors and other extracellular signals, leading to the phosphorylation and activation of AKT, which then influences numerous downstream targets to promote cell proliferation and inhibit apoptosis (cell death). This pathway is significant in many physiological contexts and is often implicated in cancer and other diseases due to its role in cell survival and growth.

community Does melatonin dissolve in isopropyl alcohol

8 upvotes 3 years ago

The conversation discusses making a topical melatonin solution for hair loss treatment, questioning if isopropyl alcohol can dissolve melatonin. Melatonin is soluble in lipids and alcohol, but it's unstable and should be mixed fresh regularly; it may help hair growth by affecting certain cellular signaling pathways and has anti-androgenic effects.

community Everything you ever wanted to know about Pelage Pharma's PP405: how it works and what to expect

126 upvotes 2 months ago

PP405 may encourage earlier hair growth and slightly increase visible hair count but does not reverse hair follicle miniaturization in male pattern baldness. It does not address damage to the dermal papilla or broken Wnt signaling.

community New Research- Creatine Increasing Scalp DHT Without Corresponding Serum DHT Increase

121 upvotes 2 years ago

Creatine may increase scalp DHT without affecting serum DHT, potentially speeding up male pattern baldness (MPB) for those genetically prone. Treatments mentioned include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.

Hair loss treatments discussed include Dutasteride with Ketoconazole, tissue engineering strategies, and androgenetic alopecia therapies. Massage doubles follicular retention, improving treatment effectiveness.

community Amplifica: Hope or Cope? A Review of Their Pipeline

9 upvotes 1 month ago

Amplifica's AMP-303 showed a modest increase in hair growth, but results were inconsistent and potentially misleading. Hyaluronic acid and osteopontin are being explored for hair growth, with varying effects on different hair types and conditions.
