    GlossaryHypoxia-Inducible Factor 1-alpha (HIF1A)

    protein that helps cells adapt to low oxygen levels

    Hypoxia-Inducible Factor 1-alpha (HIF-1α) is a protein that helps cells respond to low oxygen levels (hypoxia). It activates various genes that enable cells to adapt to hypoxic conditions, such as those involved in increasing blood supply and altering metabolism. This protein is crucial in processes like wound healing and can also play a role in diseases like cancer, where it can help tumors grow by improving their oxygen supply.

      community The mechanism of androgenic alopecia

      DHT may inhibit hair growth by affecting mitochondrial function, leading to hair follicle miniaturization. Treatments like minoxidil and PP405 may promote hair growth by altering metabolic pathways, potentially counteracting DHT's effects.
