Glossary Heat Shock Proteins

help cells survive stress by stabilizing and refolding damaged proteins

Heat Shock Proteins (HSPs) are a group of proteins that are produced by cells in response to stressful conditions, such as elevated temperatures, toxins, or other environmental stressors. They function as molecular chaperones, helping to stabilize and refold damaged proteins, thereby protecting cells from stress-induced damage. HSPs are crucial for maintaining cellular function and integrity, and their role is significant in various biological processes, including protein homeostasis and the stress response.

This review summarizes current knowledge on the role of heat shock proteins in the pathogenesis of PCOS and their potential implications in developing new treatment strategies, but it reports no new experimental results.

research Single-cell analysis of basal cell carcinoma reveals heat shock proteins promote tumor growth in response to WNT5A-mediated inflammatory signals

1 citations , October 2021 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)”

This study found that targeting HSP70 can suppress basal cell carcinoma growth, underscoring the importance of tumor microenvironment interactions in cancer progression.

research Elevated serum heat shock protein-70 and interleukin-15: prognostic biomarkers correlating with clinical severity and diagnostic efficacy in active alopecia areata

January 2026 in “Journal of the Egyptian Womenʼs Dermatologic Society”

This study observed that male patients with alopecia areata had elevated serum levels of HSP70 and IL-15, with levels increasing alongside disease severity, suggesting these markers are strongly associated with the disease's pathogenesis.

research Correlation of immunological variables of interleukin-17 and heat shock protein-70 in ethnic women with polycystic ovary syndrome

October 2024 in “South Eastern European Journal of Public Health”

This study on women aged 18–40 with polycystic ovary syndrome reported that a three-month treatment involving dietary changes, oral contraceptives, fertility drugs, and supplements significantly improved ovulation, menstrual regularity, BMI, and reduced hirsutism, acne, and certain immune factors compared to pre-treatment and control groups.

community (Topical) Quercetin might be a good add on to the hair loss stack

8 upvotes 3 years ago

Quercetin might help with hair loss by inhibiting HSP-70, which increases androgen receptors. Concerns include its staining properties and unclear topical absorption.

community Isn't it kind of strange that hair loss happens at where the 2 main superficial temporal arterty branches (temples and crown) are?

5 upvotes 3 years ago

Hair loss may be linked to blood flow and inflammation, with treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, and quercetin being discussed. The conversation also mentions the role of 5AR enzyme distribution in hair follicles.

community 12 month fin update. Long curly hair

676 upvotes 1 year ago

A user experienced significant hair regrowth after using 1mg of finasteride daily for a year, avoiding minoxidil due to its toxicity to cats. They attributed success to quitting smoking, a better diet, and reduced stress, with only watery semen as a side effect.

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 I tried mixing 3 grams RU58841 into 60ml minoxidil 5% solution and shook for 5 minutes and I can still see tiny crystals floating around like a snow globe when I shine a torch in the bottle

4 upvotes 5 months ago

OP mixed RU58841 with minoxidil and initially saw crystals, but realized they were bubbles. They asked for advice on application frequency for a 5% solution.
