Did you mean Cell Membrane?

Glossary Cell Membrane

thin barrier controlling substance movement in and out of cells

The cell membrane, also known as the plasma membrane or plasmalemma, is a thin, flexible barrier that surrounds the cell, providing structure and protection. It is composed of a double layer of lipids (lipid bilayer) with embedded proteins, which control the movement of substances in and out of the cell, thus maintaining the internal environment and facilitating communication with other cells.

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 The end of balding: We may have just found the secret to hair regrowth

in Technology 680 upvotes 1 year ago

MCL-1 is important for hair follicle stem cell survival, but its impact on human hair regrowth is unclear. Minoxidil and finasteride are the main treatments, with doubts about new discoveries leading to effective human solutions soon.

community Possible natural pp405 solution

in Research/Science 45 upvotes 1 year ago

Rotenone, a natural plant extract, may promote hair growth by increasing LDH activity and blocking MPC in the scalp, but it carries risks due to its toxicity. The suggested formulation includes Barbasco extract, DMSO, propylene glycol or PEG-400, ethanol, and a carrier oil.

community I think we should all keep an eye out for Pelage PP405. February 2025 will be interesting.

118 upvotes 1 year ago

Pelage PP405 is a new hair loss treatment in trials, potentially reactivating dormant hair follicles without affecting hormones. Results are expected in February 2025, offering an alternative to minoxidil and finasteride.

community So we have 20k dollars human like machines available but no new effective treatment for hairloss since finasteride :)

in Chat 237 upvotes 1 year ago

There have been no new effective hair loss treatments since finasteride, despite technological advancements. Current treatments include finasteride, minoxidil, and RU58841, with ongoing challenges and potential future solutions in research.
