GlossaryERK Pathway (ERK signaling)

chain of proteins transmitting signals from cell surface to DNA

The ERK Pathway, also known as the Extracellular Signal-Regulated Kinase Pathway, is a chain of proteins in the cell that communicates signals from a receptor on the cell's surface to the DNA in the nucleus. This pathway plays a crucial role in regulating various cellular activities, including growth, division, and differentiation. It is particularly important in the context of hair biology, as disruptions in this pathway can influence hair growth and contribute to conditions like alopecia.

community Compressed part of research of theory of androgenic/anabolitic balance. AGA h-responders analytic. Theory of physio-metabolitic method of anti AGA treatment

in Research 864 upvotes 4 months ago

The treatment for androgenetic alopecia involves using finasteride and minoxidil with intense exercise and cold exposure to boost metabolism and reduce androgenic effects, potentially leading to hair regrowth. This approach may activate biological pathways for improved hair and overall health.
