Glossary Regulation of Cell Death

processes controlling when and how cells die

Regulation of cell death refers to the processes that control when and how cells die, ensuring that damaged or unnecessary cells are removed in a controlled manner. This is crucial for maintaining healthy tissues and organs, and involves mechanisms like apoptosis (programmed cell death) and necrosis (uncontrolled cell death). Proper regulation prevents diseases such as cancer, where cells avoid death and proliferate uncontrollably, or degenerative diseases, where excessive cell death occurs.

research 319 Mechanisms of cell death regulation in hair regeneration

October 2021 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology”

This study found that overexpression of the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 in mice disrupted cell death during the hair cycle, impairing hair regeneration by delaying anagen entry and hair growth.

research Role of neurosteroids in regulating cell death and proliferation in the late gestation fetal brain

76 citations , July 2009 in “Neuroscience”

This study found that inhibiting allopregnanolone synthesis in late gestation fetal sheep increased apoptosis and dead cell count in the hippocampus and cerebellum, effects that were mitigated by alfaxalone co-infusion.

research Implication of microRNA regulation in para-phenylenediamine-induced cell death and senescence in normal human hair dermal papilla cells

8 citations , March 2015 in “Molecular Medicine Reports”

This study found that para-phenylenediamine induces cytotoxic effects in normal human hair dermal papilla cells by altering microRNA expression and causing cell death, cell cycle arrest, and oxidative stress.

Post-Transcriptional Regulation of Keratinocyte Progenitor Cell Expansion, Differentiation, and Hair Follicle Regression by miR-22

research Post-transcriptional Regulation of Keratinocyte Progenitor Cell Expansion, Differentiation and Hair Follicle Regression by miR-22

52 citations , May 2015 in “PLOS Genetics”

This study found that the microRNA miR-22 is a key regulator of the hair cycle, influencing hair loss by promoting the transition from growth to rest phases and repressing keratinocyte differentiation.

Pharmacological Activation of Thermo-Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid 3 Channels Inhibits Hair Growth by Inducing Cell Death of Hair Follicle Outer Root Sheath

research Pharmacological Activation of Thermo–Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid 3 Channels Inhibits Hair Growth by Inducing Cell Death of Hair Follicle Outer Root Sheath

12 citations , June 2019 in “The journal of pharmacology and experimental therapeutics/The Journal of pharmacology and experimental therapeutics”

This study found that inhibiting the TRPV3 channel may significantly promote hair growth and suggests a potential therapeutic approach for hair loss and related skin diseases.

community Peptides that Stop Hair Loss? | In-depth Literature Review Video

76 upvotes 2 years ago

Peptides like TB500, KPV, GHK-CU, and BPC-157 are overhyped for hair growth with limited proven effectiveness in humans. Combining peptides with delivery methods like iontophoresis and sonophoresis shows promise, but many claims remain unproven.

community The end of balding: We may have just found the secret to hair regrowth

in Technology 680 upvotes 1 year ago

MCL-1 is important for hair follicle stem cell survival, but its impact on human hair regrowth is unclear. Minoxidil and finasteride are the main treatments, with doubts about new discoveries leading to effective human solutions soon.

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

121 upvotes 2 years 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 Comprehensive Microneedling Guide

292 upvotes 4 years ago

Microneedling for hair restoration involves daily use of a 0.3 mm device and weekly use of a 0.5 mm device. Combining microneedling with Minoxidil can enhance hair growth.

community PP405 Won't Work Long Term: Hair Follicle Damage Due to Abuse of the ISR System

67 upvotes 11 months ago

PP405 may damage hair follicles if used long-term, suggesting cycling might be necessary. Combining it with finasteride could help maintain hair growth.
