Did you mean Bcl-2/Bax ratio?

GlossaryBcl-2/Bax ratio

balance between cell survival and cell death proteins

The Bcl-2/Bax ratio refers to the balance between two types of proteins that regulate cell death. Bcl-2 is a protein that prevents cells from dying, while Bax promotes cell death. A higher Bcl-2/Bax ratio means cells are more likely to survive, whereas a lower ratio indicates a higher likelihood of cell death. This balance is crucial in processes like cancer development and treatment, as well as in conditions like alopecia where cell survival and death are key factors.

community Perifollicular Fibrosis and its role in androgenetic alopecia. Is Aminexil/Kopexil a must for anyone with AGA?

in Research/Science 4 upvotes 3 years ago

Aminexil/Kopexil may help reduce hair loss by addressing perifollicular fibrosis in androgenetic alopecia, but it lacks the extensive clinical backing of finasteride and minoxidil. Some users find it effective, but availability and cost are issues, especially in the US where it's not FDA-approved.
