research The Circadian Molecular Clock Creates Epidermal Stem Cell Heterogeneity
The circadian clock affects skin stem cell behavior, impacting aging and cancer risk.
research Molecular Insights Into Chronotype and Time-of-Day Effects on Decision-Making
People's decision-making can be influenced by their internal biological clocks, as shown by gene expression, not just self-reported preferences for morning or evening.
research Recent Advances in the Molecular Mechanisms Determining Tissue Sensitivity to Glucocorticoids: Novel Mutations, Circadian Rhythm, and Ligand-Induced Repression of the Human Glucocorticoid Receptor
New findings explain how genetic changes, body clocks, and certain molecules affect tissue response to stress hormones.
research The Clock Within: Molecular Clock in Epidermis Regulates Circadian Rhythms and Stem Cell Cycles
The circadian clock in skin cells controls their growth and rest cycles.
research Circadian Clocks: From Stem Cells to Tissue Homeostasis and Regeneration
Circadian rhythms are crucial for stem cell function and tissue repair, and understanding them may improve aging and regeneration treatments.

5 / 615 resultscommunity Why I really believe the tension theory is the cause of MPB
The conversation discusses the tension theory as a cause of male pattern baldness (MPB), suggesting that scalp tension and reduced subcutaneous fat layer contribute to hair loss. Treatments mentioned include Minoxidil, finasteride, microneedling, scalp massages, and Botox.
community JXL082 is not PP405 and Everychem followed the wrong lead
JXL082 is not the same as PP405, leading to a halt in sales and a plan to synthesize the real PP405. There is skepticism about the safety and effectiveness of JXL082 and PP405, with concerns about patent issues and the long-term impact on hair growth.
community Please can someone explain all the Dutasteride horror stories on here
Switching from finasteride to dutasteride for hair loss yields mixed results, with some users experiencing improvements and others facing worsening conditions or side effects like shedding. Patience is advised as dutasteride may take longer to show results, and combining treatments is suggested by some users.
community Bee venom better than minoxidil?
Bee venom at 0.001% concentration was more effective than 2% minoxidil in promoting hair growth in mice, possibly due to increased growth factors and reduced inflammation. Caution is advised due to potential allergic reactions and the reliance on animal data.
community Dht kills hair, but no one says why?
DHT affects hair follicles, contributing to hair loss, but the exact mechanism is unclear. Treatments like finasteride and minoxidil are used to manage hair loss, though they may have side effects and varying effectiveness.
