    Glossary G1 phase

    cell grows and prepares for DNA replication

    The G1 phase, also known as the Gap 1 phase or First gap phase, is the first stage of the cell cycle that occurs right after a cell has divided. During this phase, the cell grows in size, produces RNA, and synthesizes proteins necessary for DNA replication. This phase is crucial for ensuring that the cell is ready for the next phase, the S phase, where DNA synthesis occurs.

      5 citations , April 2024 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)”
      This study observed that in adult mice, a cell-autonomous size control mechanism involving the RB pathway determines the timing of S phase entry in epidermal stem cells based on their size, while external microenvironment factors influence growth rates but not this intrinsic coupling.

      community Prolactin the Cause of Hair Loss? ABS-201 the Cure?

       29 upvotes 2 months ago
      Prolactin may contribute to hair loss, but targeting its receptor won't cure androgenetic alopecia. ABS-201 could be a useful alternative or adjuvant therapy, similar to JAK inhibitors, but not more effective than HMI-115.
