GlossaryPhosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)

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 119 upvotes 8 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 Does melatonin dissolve in isopropyl alcohol

in Technology 7 upvotes 1 year ago

The conversation discusses making a topical melatonin solution for hair loss treatment, questioning if isopropyl alcohol can dissolve melatonin. Melatonin is soluble in lipids and alcohol, but it's unstable and should be mixed fresh regularly; it may help hair growth by affecting certain cellular signaling pathways and has anti-androgenic effects.

community The Real Cause Of Androgenetic Alopecia

in Research/Science 676 upvotes 3 months ago

Androgenetic alopecia is caused by DHT affecting hair growth. Finasteride and minoxidil are used to manage hair loss by blocking DHT and promoting hair growth.
