    Glossary Cell Signaling Proteins

    molecules that transmit signals within and between cells

    Cell signaling proteins, also known as signaling proteins or signal transduction proteins, are molecules that help cells communicate with each other and respond to their environment. They play a crucial role in transmitting signals from the cell surface to the interior, triggering various cellular responses such as growth, division, or apoptosis. These proteins are essential for maintaining normal cellular functions and can be involved in pathways that affect hair growth and conditions like alopecia.

      community Why does this industry still revolve around 5-AR inhibitors?

       40 upvotes 5 years ago
      Hair loss treatments still rely heavily on minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841, with little innovation. Future treatments like stem cell therapy and RNA technology show promise but are not yet available.

      community Verteporfin and Microneedling

      in Treatments 2 years ago
      Clinical studies by Dr. Barghouthi and Dr. Bloxham indicate that Verteporfin, when used with FUE and FUT hair transplantation methods, shows promise in hair follicle regeneration and minimal scarring due to its ability to inhibit Yes-associated protein (YAP). Microneedling at depths of 3-3.5mm, combined with Verteporfin, could potentially reactivate dormant follicles, although the optimal dosage and application method are still under investigation. Concerns remain about the DHT sensitivity of regenerated follicles, highlighting the need for further research to optimize trauma levels and Verteporfin concentrations to achieve effective and scar-free hair regeneration.
