    GlossaryLocal Signaling

    cells communicate with nearby cells using signaling molecules

    Local signaling refers to the process by which cells communicate with nearby cells through the release of signaling molecules. This type of communication is crucial for coordinating activities such as tissue repair, immune responses, and the regulation of hair growth. For example, in the context of hair biology, local signaling can influence the behavior of hair follicle cells, potentially affecting conditions like alopecia.

Some users report hair loss even when using retinoids on the face, while others experience benefits when combined with treatments like finasteride and minoxidil.

      A serum containing Centella asiatica extracellular vesicles, IGF-1, FGF-7, and caffeine significantly improved hair thickness, density, length, and reduced hair loss after 56 days. The conversation also discusses how treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and ketoconazole address different aspects of hair loss by reducing DHT, improving blood flow, and lowering inflammation.
