Glossary Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor 2

protein involved in cell growth and tissue repair

Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor 2 (FGFR2) is a protein that plays a crucial role in cell growth, differentiation, and tissue repair. It is particularly important in the development of bones and skin, and mutations in the FGFR2 gene can lead to various developmental disorders and contribute to conditions like craniosynostosis and certain cancers.

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 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 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 865 upvotes 1 year 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.

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

247 upvotes 8 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.
