GlossaryPhosphoinositide 3-kinase

enzyme involved in cell growth and survival signaling

Phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in cell growth, proliferation, and survival by activating signaling pathways inside cells. It is particularly important in the context of cancer research, as abnormal PI3K activity can lead to uncontrolled cell division and tumor growth.

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

in Research/Science 122 upvotes 5 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.
