GlossaryPI3K/AKT pathway (PI3K-AKT)

regulates cell growth, survival, and metabolism

The PI3K/AKT pathway is a critical cell signaling pathway that helps regulate various cellular processes, including growth, survival, and metabolism. When activated, it can promote cell proliferation and inhibit programmed cell death (apoptosis), making it significant in contexts like cancer research and treatment, as well as in understanding hair growth and conditions like alopecia.

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 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 667 upvotes 2 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.
