GlossaryExtracellular Signal-Regulated Kinase (ERK1)

protein that transmits signals from cell surface to DNA

Extracellular Signal-Regulated Kinase (ERK) is a type of protein kinase that plays a crucial role in the MAPK (Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase) signaling pathway. It helps transmit signals from the cell surface to the DNA in the cell nucleus, influencing processes like cell division, differentiation, and survival. This pathway is important in various biological functions and can be implicated in conditions like cancer and alopecia when dysregulated.

community DHT and 5AR respect post, it's importance within the brain

in Research/Science 111 upvotes 2 years ago

The conversation discusses whether to use finasteride for hair loss, considering its role in inhibiting DHT and 5AR, which can affect brain function and mood. Some users report anxiety and depression from finasteride, while others do not experience these side effects and emphasize the importance of DHT for brain and prostate health.

community Bee venom better than minoxidil?

in Research/Science 1061 upvotes 3 months ago

Bee venom at 0.001% concentration was more effective than 2% minoxidil in promoting hair growth in mice, possibly due to increased growth factors and reduced inflammation. Caution is advised due to potential allergic reactions and the reliance on animal data.
