    Glossary Neuropeptides

    small protein-like molecules that neurons use to communicate

    Neuropeptides are small protein-like molecules used by neurons to communicate with each other. They influence a variety of brain functions, including pain perception, reward, food intake, metabolism, reproduction, social behaviors, and learning. In the context of hair and alopecia, neuropeptides can affect hair growth by modulating the activity of hair follicle cells and influencing the local immune response.
