Glossary Cell Invasion

process where cells penetrate and move through tissues

Cell invasion refers to the process by which cells penetrate and move through surrounding tissues. This is a critical mechanism in various biological contexts, such as wound healing, immune response, and cancer metastasis. In the case of cancer, malignant cells invade neighboring tissues and spread to other parts of the body, which can complicate treatment and worsen prognosis.

research Finasteride Inhibits Human Prostate Cancer Cell Invasion through MMP2 and MMP9 Downregulation

63 citations , December 2013 in “PLoS ONE”

This study suggests that finasteride may reduce the aggressiveness and invasion of prostate tumors, with effects potentially differing based on the androgen responsiveness of the patient's prostate cells.

research High‐frequency (22‐MHz) ultrasound for assessing the depth of basal cell carcinoma invasion

18 citations , January 2021 in “Skin Research and Technology”

This study found that high-frequency ultrasound was effective in localizing deep tumor margins in basal cell carcinoma, suggesting its utility in selecting therapeutic approaches.

research Regulation of VDR by ΔNp63α is associated with inhibition of cell invasion

34 citations , July 2009 in “Journal of Cell Science”

This study found that ΔNp63α directly regulates VDR expression, which in turn may reduce invasiveness in an epidermoid cancer cell line.

research Dihydrotestosterone Induces Proliferation, Migration, and Invasion of Human Glioblastoma Cell Lines

11 citations , September 2020 in “OncoTargets and Therapy”

This study found that testosterone may promote glioblastoma progression by being converted into dihydrotestosterone, which enhances cell proliferation, migration, and invasion in GBM cell lines.

research hsa_circ_0002980 prevents proliferation, migration, invasion, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition of liver cancer cells through microRNA-1303/cell adhesion molecule 2 axis

3 citations , December 2023 in “Aging”

In liver cancer cells, this study found that upregulating hsa_circ_0002980 inhibits cell proliferation, metastasis, and EMT by modulating the miR-1303/CADM2 axis, suggesting it as a potential therapeutic target.

community Molecule PP405: A Research Team Backed By Google Ventures Has Discovered One Of The Most Promising Solutions For Hair Loss To Date

in Research/Science 479 upvotes 1 year ago

PP405 is a promising new treatment for hair loss that activates dormant stem cells in hair follicles, potentially bypassing the effects of DHT. It is currently in phase 2 trials and could be available between 2027 and 2030, but it is not considered a definitive cure.

community Cell senescence-targeted treatment for hair loss, has anyone tried any products/enzymes etc. that use this theory

5 upvotes 1 year ago

DHT causes hair loss by driving cells into senescence, and a polyphenol in black chokeberry may reverse this. A product using this theory is being considered for use alongside finasteride, minoxidil, and microneedling.

community Has anyone here actually undergone experimental (grey market) hair cell therapy/follicle cloning?

7 upvotes 5 months ago

Hair cell therapy and follicle cloning are still in experimental stages, with treatments like hair multiplication and regenerative hair therapy being marketed but not yet proven to create unlimited new follicles. There is skepticism about the effectiveness and legitimacy of these treatments, with some considering them scams.

community What do you guys think of stem cell hai restoration?

10 upvotes 9 months ago

Stem cell hair restoration lacks scientific evidence and is often considered a scam. Effective hair loss treatments include hair transplants, Minoxidil, and Finasteride, but stem cell treatments are not proven.

community Stem cell hair transplant? Any progress?

4 upvotes 1 year ago

Stem cell hair transplants are not yet viable, and users suggest traditional treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, and hair transplants. Some mention verteporfin but note its alcohol restrictions.

learn Stem Cell Factor

What is stem cell factor and why is it used in hair growth treatments? Stem cell factor is a signalling protein linked to hair colour in lab and mouse studies; it is not a proven hair-loss treatment in people.
Does stem cell factor help activate dormant hair follicles? Lab and mouse studies link stem cell factor to hair colour; it has not been shown to reactivate dormant hair follicles in people.
Are stem cell factor products safe for long-term scalp use? Long-term safety of stem cell factor scalp products has not been studied in people; the one human trial of injected stem cell factor reported skin reactions and lasting dark patches.
