    proteins on cell surfaces aiding attachment and communication

They play a crucial role in various biological processes such as cell signaling, immune responses, and wound healing, making them essential for maintaining tissue structure and function.

      community Atherosclerosis as cause of balding and treatment

      in Treatment  62 upvotes 2 years ago
      Hair loss may be caused by calcification of capillaries in the scalp, restricting blood flow to hair follicles. A daily treatment regimen including high doses of Vitamins D and K, Magnesium, and Nattokinase could potentially decalcify these capillaries, improving blood flow and hair growth. However, some users warn against excessive Vitamin D intake and emphasize the need for medical consultation.

      community Tretinoin for some men(not all) can cause non-telogen effluvium hair loss

      in Research/Science  6 upvotes 7 months ago
      Tretinoin can cause non-telogen hair loss in some men by inducing catagen-like changes in hair follicles and through retinoid toxicity, especially when used with minoxidil. Some users report hair loss even when using retinoids on the face, while others experience benefits when combined with treatments like finasteride and minoxidil.
