Glossary Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor 1

protein involved in cell growth and tissue repair

Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor 1 (FGFR1) is a protein that plays a crucial role in cell growth, development, and tissue repair by binding to specific growth factors. It is involved in various biological processes, including the development of the nervous system and the regulation of hair growth. Mutations or dysregulation of FGFR1 can lead to developmental disorders and contribute to conditions like cancer.

community Serum based on plant extracts boosts hair growth in weeks.

44 upvotes 11 months ago

A serum containing Centella asiatica extracellular vesicles, IGF-1, FGF-7, and caffeine significantly improved hair thickness, density, length, and reduced hair loss after 56 days. The conversation also discusses how treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and ketoconazole address different aspects of hair loss by reducing DHT, improving blood flow, and lowering inflammation.

community Breezula phase 3 results said to be released next month

26 upvotes 1 year ago

Breezula's phase 3 results are expected soon, with discussions on the effectiveness of androgen receptor antagonists like spironolactone and the potential of GT20029. Users express skepticism about new treatments and discuss the complexities of male pattern baldness, often relying on finasteride despite its side effects.

community Tazarotene shows strong standalone hair regrowth potential, not just a Minoxidil enhancer. Backed by VEGF, HF regeneration, and angiogenesis pathways. Here’s why.

135 upvotes 1 year ago

Tazarotene shows potential as a standalone treatment for hair regrowth by stimulating new hair follicle formation and promoting angiogenesis, similar to microneedling effects. It can be used topically without minoxidil, but users should start with a low concentration to avoid irritation.

community Occipitalis Muscle Tension Theory

13 upvotes 7 months ago

Scalp tension from the occipitalis muscle is theorized to contribute to hair loss, but most believe DHT and genetics are the main causes. Treatments like finasteride and minoxidil are considered more effective than addressing scalp tension.

community Got my Oleic fatty acid they used in Korean study. Fuck you mice!

247 upvotes 7 months ago

Oleic acid and microneedling are being explored for hair regrowth, but results are mixed. Addressing DHT and fibrosis is crucial, with treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and scalp massage also discussed.
