    GlossaryGlycogen Synthase Kinase 3 (GSK3)

    enzyme involved in regulating cell functions and signaling pathways

    Glycogen Synthase Kinase 3 (GSK-3) is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in various cellular processes, including the regulation of glycogen synthesis, cell division, and cell survival. It is involved in multiple signaling pathways and can influence conditions like diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, and even hair growth by affecting cellular functions and gene expression.

      community Better Than Minoxidil? Topical Sodium Valproate

      in Research/Science  52 upvotes 1 month ago
      Topical sodium valproate may promote hair growth by inhibiting GSK3β, allowing beta-catenin to proliferate, but it has potential side effects and requires more research. The conversation also mentions skepticism about a product called Vdphlo1, which includes sodium valproate and other ingredients.

      community Does melatonin dissolve in isopropyl alcohol

      in Technology  7 upvotes 2 years ago
      The conversation discusses making a topical melatonin solution for hair loss treatment, questioning if isopropyl alcohol can dissolve melatonin. Melatonin is soluble in lipids and alcohol, but it's unstable and should be mixed fresh regularly; it may help hair growth by affecting certain cellular signaling pathways and has anti-androgenic effects.
