Did you mean Caspase-1?

GlossaryCaspase-1

enzyme activating inflammatory cytokines and inducing cell death

Caspase-1, also known as Interleukin-1 converting enzyme (ICE), is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in the inflammatory response by activating pro-inflammatory cytokines like interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and interleukin-18 (IL-18). It is also involved in a form of programmed cell death called pyroptosis, which helps the body fight infections by eliminating infected cells.

community Don't use PP405 from everychem. it is likely fake.

in Research/Science 65 upvotes 8 months ago

PP405 from Everychem is likely fake and potentially harmful, with concerns about its stability and the risk of using the wrong MPC inhibitor, which could damage hair follicles. The real PP405 was studied under strict conditions, and DIY attempts are discouraged due to unknown formulation and quality control.

community Hair loss causes are still a myth.

in Chat 17 upvotes 4 years ago

The conversation discusses the complexity of hair loss causes, suggesting that DHT sensitivity alone doesn't fully explain it. Treatments mentioned include finasteride and dutasteride.
