GlossaryPhosphorylation of ERK

process activating ERK protein by adding phosphate groups

Phosphorylation of ERK, also known as ERK activation, refers to the process where the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) protein is activated by the addition of phosphate groups. This activation is a crucial step in the MAPK/ERK signaling pathway, which transmits signals from the cell surface to the DNA in the cell nucleus, influencing cell functions such as division, differentiation, and survival. This process is significant in various biological contexts, including hair growth and the response to stress or injury.

community Wait, so retinol actually helps with hair growth? I heard it was the other way around a while ago and just accepted it..

in Treatment 6 upvotes 5 years ago

Retinol can help with hair growth, contrary to previous beliefs. Treatments discussed include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.

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

in Research/Science 120 upvotes 7 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.

community Looks like a real cure to the root of baldness (DHT-induced senescence) was proven earlier this year

in Research/Science 743 upvotes 2 years ago

A study that outlines the full model for androgenic alopecia (AGA) which links DHT to cellular senescence in dermal papilla cells, and suggests black chokeberry as a source of cyanidin 3-O-arabinoside polyphenol with potential anti-oxidant properties that could reverse this process. The post encourages reaching out to experts in anti-aging and longevity to research treatments involving the polyphenol.
