GlossaryMAPK pathway (Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase signaling)

crucial cell signaling mechanism regulating growth, division, and stress response

The MAPK pathway, or Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase pathway, is a crucial signaling mechanism in cells that helps regulate various activities such as growth, division, and response to stress. It involves a series of proteins that communicate signals from the cell surface to the DNA in the nucleus, ultimately influencing gene expression and cellular behavior. This pathway is significant in many biological processes and is often studied in the context of diseases like cancer and conditions affecting hair growth, such as alopecia.

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

in Research/Science 123 upvotes 1 year 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.

The treatment for androgenetic alopecia involves using finasteride and minoxidil with intense exercise and cold exposure to boost metabolism and reduce androgenic effects, potentially leading to hair regrowth. This approach may activate biological pathways for improved hair and overall health.
