Did you mean Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase?

GlossaryExtracellular Signal-Regulated Kinase (Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase)

protein that transmits signals from cell surface to DNA

Extracellular Signal-Regulated Kinase (ERK) is a type of protein kinase that plays a crucial role in the MAPK (Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase) signaling pathway. It helps transmit signals from the cell surface to the DNA in the cell nucleus, influencing processes like cell division, differentiation, and survival. This pathway is important in various biological functions and can be implicated in conditions like cancer and alopecia when dysregulated.

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

in Research/Science 122 upvotes 6 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.
