Did you mean Cell cycle inhibitor?

Glossary Cell cycle inhibitor

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.

Maternal Androgen Excess Inhibits Fetal Cardiomyocyte Proliferation Through RB-Mediated Cell Cycle Arrest and Induces Cardiac Hypertrophy in Adulthood

research Maternal androgen excess inhibits fetal cardiomyocytes proliferation through RB-mediated cell cycle arrest and induces cardiac hypertrophy in adulthood

2 citations , August 2023 in “Journal of Endocrinological Investigation”

In this study, researchers found that pregnant mice exposed to excessive androgen led to thinner ventricular walls and cardiac hypertrophy in offspring, suggesting that prenatal androgen exposure adversely affects cardiac health through reduced cardiomyocyte proliferation.

research Embryonic NIPP1 depletion in keratinocytes triggers a cell-cycle arrest and premature senescence in adult mice

February 2024 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

In this study, the deletion of NIPP1 in keratinocytes led to chronic skin inflammation and epidermal changes in mice, with early cell-cycle arrest and premature senescence observed, potentially contributing to reduced mutagen sensitivity.

Temporary Cell Cycle Arrest by ALRN-6924: A Novel P53-Targeting Strategy to Protect Human Scalp Hair Follicles Against Cyclophosphamide-Induced Alopecia

research 1409 Temporary cell cycle arrest by ALRN-6924: A novel, p53-targeting strategy to protect human scalp hair follicles against cyclophosphamide-induced alopecia

April 2023 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

This study found that ALRN-6924 effectively protected human hair follicles from cyclophosphamide-induced damage in an ex vivo setting, suggesting it may reduce both acute and permanent chemotherapy-induced alopecia.

research Immune cell regulation of the hair cycle

27 citations , January 2020 in “Experimental Dermatology”

This review discusses the role of immune cells in mammalian hair cycle control and highlights their potential relevance to human hair cycling disorders, reporting no new clinical findings.

research New Activators and Inhibitors in the Hair Cycle Clock: Targeting Stem Cells’ State of Competence

68 citations , April 2012 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

The study reports that Fgf18 and Tgf-β2 signaling pathways in hair follicle stem cells have opposing effects on the timing of hair cycle transitions, influencing the shift from telogen to anagen phases.

community How ET-02 Works. Also no proof that it's better than Minoxidil. At least for now.

44 upvotes 1 year ago

ET-02, a PAI-1 inhibitor, is not proven to be more effective than Minoxidil for hair loss. Other treatments like finasteride, dutasteride, PP405, and AMP-303 are also discussed, focusing on cellular senescence and oxidative stress.

community Prolactin the Cause of Hair Loss? ABS-201 the Cure?

29 upvotes 2 months ago

Prolactin may contribute to hair loss, but targeting its receptor won't cure androgenetic alopecia. ABS-201 could be a useful alternative or adjuvant therapy, similar to JAK inhibitors, but not more effective than HMI-115.

community How far are we from a treatment better than finasteride?

in Treatment 129 upvotes 1 year ago

Dutasteride is more effective than finasteride for hair loss as it blocks more of the enzyme causing hair loss. New treatments like stem cell therapies and alternatives to minoxidil are being explored, but major advancements are still years away.

community PP405 Won't Work Long Term: Hair Follicle Damage Due to Abuse of the ISR System

67 upvotes 11 months ago

PP405 may damage hair follicles if used long-term, suggesting cycling might be necessary. Combining it with finasteride could help maintain hair growth.

community Everything you ever wanted to know about Pelage Pharma's PP405: how it works and what to expect

126 upvotes 3 months ago

PP405 may encourage earlier hair growth and slightly increase visible hair count but does not reverse hair follicle miniaturization in male pattern baldness. It does not address damage to the dermal papilla or broken Wnt signaling.
