Glossary Cellular Senescence

state where cells permanently stop dividing but remain metabolically active

Cellular senescence is a state in which cells stop dividing and enter a permanent state of growth arrest without dying. This process is a natural part of aging and acts as a defense mechanism against cancer, as it prevents damaged cells from proliferating. However, the accumulation of senescent cells over time can contribute to tissue dysfunction and age-related diseases.

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 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 BREAKTHROUGH: I’m a radiochemist and discovered a radioactive isotope scalp serum that OUTPERFORMS Minoxidil and 5-AR inhibitors! (Lab Data Inside)

in Satire 1 year ago

A satirical post where someone claims to have developed a radioactive isotope scalp serum using Polonium-210 that outperforms Minoxidil and finasteride for hair regrowth. The serum reportedly stimulates DNA repair in hair follicles, leading to significant hair density increase, but the post is met with skepticism and concerns about safety.

community Chat is this real? Compound called clascoterone

581 upvotes 9 months ago

Clascoterone shows promising results for hair regrowth in men with androgenetic alopecia, with potential FDA approval by 2026. It acts as a topical androgen receptor blocker, offering a new treatment option with minimal side effects compared to existing treatments like finasteride.

community PP405 Won’t Work: Follicle Is Miniaturized, Fibrosed, And Missing Key Support Cells

7 months ago

PP405 is ineffective for miniaturized, fibrosed hair follicles in androgenetic alopecia. AMP303 may activate hair follicle stem cells, but minoxidil and finasteride are still the main treatments.
