Did you mean Reactive Oxygen Species?

Glossary Reactive Oxygen Species

highly reactive molecules containing oxygen that can damage cells

Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) are highly reactive molecules containing oxygen, such as peroxides and free radicals. They are natural byproducts of cellular metabolism but can cause damage to cells, proteins, and DNA if their levels become too high, contributing to aging and various diseases.

community Possible topical option for preventing BDNF-related hair loss

6 upvotes 2 years ago

The conversation discusses hair loss linked to BDNF-increasing nootropics like Semax and Lions Mane. Suggested topical treatments include capsaicin, beta-glucan, and ginseng to counteract TGF-B activation.

community Polydopamine Synergizes with Quercetin Nanosystem to Reshape the Perifollicular Microenvironment for Accelerating Hair Regrowth in Androgenetic Alopecia.

11 upvotes 2 years ago

A quercetin-encapsulated and polydopamine-integrated nanosystem (PDA@QLipo) shows promise for treating androgenetic alopecia by reshaping the perifollicular microenvironment, outperforming minoxidil in hair regeneration. The nanosystem promotes cell proliferation, hair follicle renewal, and recovery by scavenging reactive oxygen species and enhancing neovascularity.

community Hypoxia (lack of oxygen) enhances hair growth via stem cells

49 upvotes 1 year ago

Hypoxia may enhance hair growth by stimulating stem cells, but it could also risk fibrosis. Some users humorously discuss extreme methods like choking while using minoxidil, highlighting the need for new treatments.

community Cell senescence-targeted treatment for hair loss, has anyone tried any products/enzymes etc. that use this theory

5 upvotes 1 year ago

DHT causes hair loss by driving cells into senescence, and a polyphenol in black chokeberry may reverse this. A product using this theory is being considered for use alongside finasteride, minoxidil, and microneedling.

community How ET-02 Works. Also no proof that it's better than Minoxidil. At least for now.

44 upvotes 1 year ago

ET-02, a PAI-1 inhibitor, is not proven to be more effective than Minoxidil for hair loss. Other treatments like finasteride, dutasteride, PP405, and AMP-303 are also discussed, focusing on cellular senescence and oxidative stress.
