    GlossaryApoptosis Regulator

    protein controlling programmed cell death in cells

    An apoptosis regulator, also known as a cell death regulator, is a protein that controls the process of apoptosis, which is the programmed death of cells. This process is crucial for maintaining healthy tissue by eliminating damaged or unnecessary cells. Dysregulation of apoptosis can lead to diseases such as cancer, where cells avoid death and proliferate uncontrollably, or degenerative diseases, where excessive cell death occurs.

      in Finasteride/Dutasteride  84 upvotes 1 year ago
      Topical finasteride is considered a safer option for hair regrowth with fewer systemic side effects compared to oral finasteride. Some users report similar efficacy and side effects between topical and oral treatments, while others prefer topical due to reduced systemic exposure.

      community I hope ET-02 or PP405 will be released in the next 4-5 years

      in Product  15 upvotes 3 months ago
      PP405 is a potential hair loss treatment that may work by blocking signals that cause hair cells to stop growing, requiring daily application for effectiveness. It could serve as an alternative to minoxidil and finasteride, but it is not yet available on the market and may take several years to be released.

      community Weed/THC effects on hair growth/hair loss, and vitality of organ-culture human follicle studies (research review)

      in Research/Science  3 upvotes 10 months ago
      Cannabis and THC may have mixed effects on hair, with some studies suggesting potential negative impacts on hair growth in isolated hair follicles, but these results are hard to apply to living humans. Treatments like minoxidil and finasteride are commonly used for hair loss, and the effects of cannabis might be neutral or vary based on individual factors.
