    GlossaryDickkopf-related protein 4

    regulates Wnt signaling, affecting hair follicle development and cycling

    Dickkopf-related protein 4 (Dkk4) is a protein that plays a crucial role in regulating the Wnt signaling pathway, which is important for cell growth, development, and differentiation. In the context of hair biology, Dkk4 can influence hair follicle development and cycling, and its dysregulation has been associated with conditions like alopecia, where hair loss occurs.

      community A concise, easy-to-understand post on Androgenic Alopecia theory and its practical applications

      in Research/Science  92 upvotes   2 years ago
      The mechanism of Androgenic Alopecia and practical applications of treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, RU58841, dermarolling, scalp massages, anti-fungals, progesterone, estrogen, PPAR-γ activators, reducing oxidative stress, and scalp exercises. It explains why DHT is important in AA and how other factors might be involved such as hypoxia, increased DKK-1 expression, morphological changes to the scalp, skull growth during childhood/puberty, and blood flow.

      community Vitamin C and hair growth PH levels

      in Product  33 upvotes   2 years ago
      The conversation is about using vitamin C and Magnesium L-Threonate for hair growth by reducing DHT binding to dermal papilla cells. The original post about vitamin C's pH levels and sebum control was possibly removed by a moderator.
