GlossarymTOR pathway

regulates cell growth and metabolism in response to nutrients

The mTOR pathway, short for the mechanistic target of rapamycin pathway, is a crucial cellular signaling pathway that regulates growth, metabolism, and survival in response to nutrients, growth factors, and other environmental cues. It plays a significant role in various biological processes, including cell proliferation, protein synthesis, and autophagy, and is implicated in conditions like cancer, diabetes, and neurodegenerative diseases.

community How ET-02 Works. Also no proof that it's better than Minoxidil. At least for now.

in Research/Science 45 upvotes 10 months ago

ET-02, a PAI-1 inhibitor, is not proven to be more effective than Minoxidil for hair loss. Other treatments like finasteride, dutasteride, PP405, and AMP-303 are also discussed, focusing on cellular senescence and oxidative stress.

community A Novel Synergistic Strategy for Hair Loss Prevention and Reversal: Rapamycin, Finasteride, and Minoxidil

in Research/Science 40 upvotes 3 days ago

Rapamycin, finasteride, and minoxidil are discussed as a strategy for hair loss prevention and reversal. Pulsed dosing of rapamycin is suggested to avoid conflicting effects with minoxidil.
