Did you mean MAPK inhibitors?

GlossaryMAPK pathway inhibitors

drugs that block cell growth and survival signaling pathways

MAPK pathway inhibitors are drugs that block the Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase (MAPK) pathway, a critical signaling pathway that regulates cell growth, division, and survival. By inhibiting this pathway, these drugs can help treat conditions like cancer and certain types of alopecia, where abnormal cell growth or survival is a problem.

community New Research- Creatine Increasing Scalp DHT Without Corresponding Serum DHT Increase

in Research/Science 120 upvotes 7 months ago

Creatine may increase scalp DHT without affecting serum DHT, potentially speeding up male pattern baldness (MPB) for those genetically prone. Treatments mentioned include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.

community Polydopamine Synergizes with Quercetin Nanosystem to Reshape the Perifollicular Microenvironment for Accelerating Hair Regrowth in Androgenetic Alopecia.

in Research/Science 13 upvotes 7 months ago

A quercetin-encapsulated and polydopamine-integrated nanosystem (PDA@QLipo) shows promise for treating androgenetic alopecia by reshaping the perifollicular microenvironment, outperforming minoxidil in hair regeneration. The nanosystem promotes cell proliferation, hair follicle renewal, and recovery by scavenging reactive oxygen species and enhancing neovascularity.
