    chemical messages that cells use to communicate

    Molecular signals are chemical messages that cells use to communicate with each other. These signals can trigger various biological processes, such as cell growth, immune responses, or hair follicle development. For example, in the context of hair growth, specific molecular signals can activate or inhibit the activity of hair follicle cells, influencing whether hair grows or falls out.

      community Efficacy and Systemic DHT Suppression of Topical Finasteride vs Dutasteride

      in General  122 upvotes 4 months ago
      Topical dutasteride may have limited absorption due to its higher molecular mass compared to finasteride, potentially affecting its efficacy in suppressing DHT locally. Microneedling might enhance dutasteride absorption, possibly offering stronger local DHT suppression with fewer systemic effects.
