    molecule that halts or slows down cell division

    A cell cycle inhibitor, also known as a cell cycle suppressor or cell cycle regulator, is a molecule that can halt or slow down the process of cell division. These inhibitors play a crucial role in controlling cell growth and ensuring that cells do not divide uncontrollably, which is important for preventing conditions like cancer. For example, proteins like p21 and p27 are well-known cell cycle inhibitors that can stop the cell cycle at specific checkpoints, allowing for DNA repair or triggering cell death if the damage is irreparable.

      A user who shared progress pictures of their scalp using a microscope camera, demonstrating the difference between healthy and miniaturized hair. Various explanations for the cause of this were discussed, such as DHT build-up in scalp sebum causing an autoimmune response leading to inflammation and eventual hair loss, with some suggesting a do-it-yourself treatment involving adding ascorbic acid powder to shampoo.

      community Fats on your Head to Stop Hair Loss?

      The conversation discusses the potential of long-chain unsaturated fatty acids, like oleic and linoleic acid, as an additional treatment for hair loss, which may inhibit the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone to DHT and promote hair growth. Users humorously suggest using oils topically and discuss other hair loss treatments, but the main focus is on the science behind fatty acids and their role in hair health.
