Glossary Calcium-Binding Protein 1

regulates intracellular calcium levels crucial for cellular processes

Calcium-Binding Protein 1 (CaBP1) is a protein that plays a crucial role in regulating calcium levels within cells. It binds to calcium ions, which is essential for various cellular processes such as muscle contraction, neurotransmitter release, and cell signaling. This protein is particularly important in the nervous system, where it helps modulate the activity of calcium channels and other proteins involved in neuronal communication.

Molecular Profiling of Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia Reveals TH1 and JAK-STAT Up-Regulation with No Suppression of Hair Keratins

research 1322 Molecular profiling of frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA) reveals TH1 and JAK-STAT up-regulation with no suppression of hair keratins

2 citations , April 2018 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

This study suggests that frontal fibrosing alopecia is a highly inflammatory disease involving TH1 and JAK-STAT pathways, without reduced hair keratins, highlighting JAK-STAT signaling as a potential therapeutic target.

The user is considering using "Grow Gorgeous Intense Hair Density Serum" alongside Minoxidil and is currently taking Finasteride. Some users doubt the serum's effectiveness, while others suggest it may help with hair strength and thickness, but opinions are mixed.

community Why Fin/Dut Isn't Working for You GPR133: a new hairloss mechanism + Steroid Hair Loss Deep Dive

6 upvotes 1 month ago

Hair loss may be linked to the GPR133 receptor, independent of the androgen receptor pathway. Treatments like finasteride, dutasteride, minoxidil, RU58841, and KX-826 show varying results, with hair loss persisting due to high testosterone and GPR133's role.

community I have a hard time believing that creatine overpowers fin/dut

108 upvotes 3 years ago

The conversation is about whether creatine causes hair loss in individuals who are taking finasteride or dutasteride for hair loss. Some users report experiencing hair loss when taking creatine, while others do not. There is no consensus on the issue.
