GlossaryExtracellular Matrix Remodeling (ECM Remodeling)

continuous restructuring of the protein network outside cells

Extracellular Matrix Remodeling (ECM Remodeling) refers to the dynamic process where the structure and composition of the extracellular matrix (a network of proteins and other molecules outside cells) are continuously broken down and rebuilt. This process is crucial for tissue development, wound healing, and maintaining healthy skin and hair, but it can also contribute to diseases like fibrosis and cancer if dysregulated.

community Minoxidil actually reduces wrinkles

in Research/Science 208 upvotes 4 days ago

Minoxidil may improve or worsen skin quality, with topical forms causing dryness and wrinkles, possibly due to alcohol content, while oral forms have fewer side effects. Some users consider using tretinoin to mitigate negative effects.
