    cells communicate through molecular signals to coordinate functions

    Cell signaling, also known as cell communication or signal transduction, is the process by which cells detect and respond to external signals through a series of molecular events. These signals can come from other cells, the environment, or within the cell itself, and they often involve the activation of specific receptors and subsequent pathways that lead to a cellular response, such as growth, division, or apoptosis. This process is crucial for maintaining homeostasis and coordinating complex biological functions.

      community I hope ET-02 or PP405 will be released in the next 4-5 years

      in Product  15 upvotes 8 months ago
      PP405 is a potential hair loss treatment that may work by blocking signals that cause hair cells to stop growing, requiring daily application for effectiveness. It could serve as an alternative to minoxidil and finasteride, but it is not yet available on the market and may take several years to be released.

      community A Theory on Why Microneedling Works

       170 upvotes 6 years ago
      Microneedling may enhance hair regrowth by transferring stem cells to dormant follicles, improving the effects of minoxidil. Users discuss using microneedling with needle lengths around 1.5mm to stimulate hair growth.

      community Has anyone tried Exosomes from Musely or somewhere else?
