Did you mean Estrogen Signaling?

Glossary Estrogen Signaling

hormone estrogen communicates with cells to regulate functions

Estrogen signaling refers to the process by which the hormone estrogen communicates with cells to regulate various biological functions. This involves estrogen binding to its receptors, which can be located on the cell surface or within the cell, leading to changes in gene expression and cellular activity. This signaling pathway is crucial for reproductive health, bone density, and even hair growth, and disruptions in estrogen signaling can contribute to conditions like alopecia and osteoporosis.

DHT may inhibit hair growth by affecting mitochondrial function, leading to hair follicle miniaturization. Treatments like minoxidil and PP405 may promote hair growth by altering metabolic pathways, potentially counteracting DHT's effects.

community Best, possible, or experimental growth agonists that AREN'T MINOXIDIL.

4 upvotes 5 years ago

Various hair growth treatments were discussed, including microneedling, bimatoprost, setipiprant, stemoxydine, PGE2, CB-03-01, WNT Beta-Catenin upregulators, KY19382, topical estrogen, IGF-1, GH, MK-677, oral castor oil, fisetin, resveratrol, cetrizine, and lactic acid. Users shared experiences and sources for these treatments, with some expressing interest in topical solutions and others noting the lack of FDA approval or scientific evidence for certain options.

community Everything you ever wanted to know about Pelage Pharma's PP405: how it works and what to expect

126 upvotes 2 months ago

PP405 may encourage earlier hair growth and slightly increase visible hair count but does not reverse hair follicle miniaturization in male pattern baldness. It does not address damage to the dermal papilla or broken Wnt signaling.

community Does RU58841 potentially cause cancer?

in Research/Science 1 year ago

RU58841 may pose cancer risks due to its antiandrogen properties and lack of long-term safety data. Using it is considered a high-risk experiment with unknown potential for harm.

community DHT Isn't (Directly) Important
