5 / 1000+ resultsresearch Systematic Analysis of Somatic Mutations Driving Cancer: Uncovering Functional Protein Regions in Disease Development
A new method, iSiMPRe, effectively identifies key protein regions in cancer genes, highlighting potential drug targets.
research Regeneration, Wound Healing, and Cancer
The document concludes that while some organisms can regenerate body parts, mammals generally cannot, and cancer progression is complex, involving mutations rather than a strict stem cell hierarchy.
research Genetic Transformation of Keratoacanthoma-Type Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma Following Intralesional Chemotherapy
Intralesional chemotherapy with 5-fluorouracil and methotrexate may worsen keratoacanthoma-type skin cancer in transplant patients.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Can a folate deficiency make androgenetic alopecia worse?
The user is treating androgenetic alopecia with finasteride and discovered a folic acid deficiency. They are asking if curing the deficiency can worsen or improve their hair condition.
community People need to start accepting that only medical therapy (Fin/Dut) can save your hair in the long run.
Minoxidil can regrow hair but doesn't address the underlying issue of DHT, leading to continued hair loss. Users discuss their experiences with finasteride and dutasteride, mentioning side effects, personal outcomes, and alternatives like microdosing topical finasteride.
community Why do we get bald from evolutionary perspective
Baldness is not an evolutionary disadvantage because it occurs after reproductive age. Treatments like Minoxidil and Finasteride are used for androgenetic alopecia but don't address the root cause.
community If PP405 goes systemic this would be quite catastrophic
Concerns about the potential systemic effects and safety of PP405 for hair loss, with discussions on its comparison to existing treatments like finasteride and minoxidil. Users express skepticism about untested research chemicals and emphasize the importance of clinical trials to ensure safety and efficacy.
community The meds work: my dad at 23 yo vs me at 35 yo
Finasteride and oral minoxidil effectively maintain a youthful appearance and full head of hair, despite genetic predispositions to balding. The discussion also considers the impact of DHT blockers on masculinity and aging, with lifestyle choices like sunscreen use and a vegetarian diet mentioned.
