Glossary Cell Adhesion Molecules

proteins that help cells stick to each other

Cell Adhesion Molecules (CAMs) are proteins located on the cell surface that help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. They play a crucial role in maintaining the structure of tissues and organs, facilitating communication between cells, and are involved in processes like wound healing and immune responses.

community The Real Cause Of Androgenetic Alopecia

675 upvotes 1 year ago

Androgenetic alopecia is caused by DHT affecting hair growth. Finasteride and minoxidil are used to manage hair loss by blocking DHT and promoting hair growth.

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.
