    GlossaryIGF-1 Receptor

    protein on cell surfaces that binds to growth hormone IGF-1

    The IGF-1 Receptor (Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 Receptor, IGF1R) is a protein found on the surface of human cells that binds to the hormone IGF-1. This interaction plays a crucial role in cell growth, development, and survival. In the context of hair biology, IGF-1 and its receptor are important for hair follicle development and the regulation of hair growth cycles.

      The conversation discusses whether finasteride's reduction of DHT and increase in scalp testosterone contribute to hair follicle miniaturization. Some participants argue testosterone does not cause miniaturization, while others suggest that even with reduced DHT, other androgens like testosterone may still contribute to hair loss.
