    regulates gene expression by modifying chromatin structure

    Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) is a group of proteins that play a crucial role in regulating gene expression by modifying chromatin, the material that makes up chromosomes. PRC2 adds a specific chemical mark to histones (proteins around which DNA is wrapped), leading to the repression of genes that are not needed at certain times or in certain cell types. This process is essential for proper development and cellular differentiation.

      community MCL1 does anyone knows anthying about it

      in Research/Science  9 upvotes 11 months ago
      MCL-1 protein may help maintain hair follicles in the growth phase and prevent miniaturization. There is interest in experimental treatments like exosomes, peptides, or stem cell serums to upregulate MCL-1 for hair loss, especially for those not using minoxidil or finasteride.

      community Expectations control for SCUBE3

      in Research/Science  21 upvotes 2 years ago
      SCUBE3, a protein linked to hair growth in moles, was discovered over 25 years ago and is being developed by Amplifica for potential hair loss treatment. Concerns exist about SCUBE3's association with cancer, as it is a protein that promotes cell growth, which could potentially trigger cancer development if used for hair growth therapy.

      community ghk-cu is potent 5-ar inhibitor?

      in Product  10 upvotes 2 years ago
      GHK-Cu is a potent inhibitor of the type 1 5-alpha reductase enzyme in hair follicles, which may reduce hair loss without the side effects associated with type 2 5-alpha reductase inhibitors. The user previously experienced side effects with 5-alpha reductase inhibitors and is considering GHK-Cu as an alternative.
