Glossary BMP signaling

regulates growth and development of bones and tissues

BMP signaling, short for Bone Morphogenetic Protein signaling, is a biological pathway that involves proteins called BMPs. These proteins play a crucial role in regulating the growth, development, and repair of bones and other tissues. In the context of hair, BMP signaling is important for hair follicle development and cycling, influencing processes like hair growth and regeneration.

community GT20029 and PP405 the new fin and min that we been waiting for ?

36 upvotes 1 year ago

PP405 and GT20029 are new hair loss treatments with different mechanisms from traditional options like Minoxidil and Finasteride. PP405 targets hair follicle stem cells to reactivate growth, while GT20029 works as an androgen receptor deleter, both requiring ongoing use for effectiveness.

community Prolactin the Cause of Hair Loss? ABS-201 the Cure?

29 upvotes 2 months ago

Prolactin may contribute to hair loss, but targeting its receptor won't cure androgenetic alopecia. ABS-201 could be a useful alternative or adjuvant therapy, similar to JAK inhibitors, but not more effective than HMI-115.
