Did you mean Retinoid X Receptor?

Glossary Retinoid X Receptor

regulates gene expression by binding to specific DNA sequences

The Retinoid X Receptor (RXR) is a type of nuclear receptor that plays a crucial role in regulating gene expression. It binds to specific DNA sequences and partners with other receptors to control various biological processes, including cell growth, differentiation, and metabolism. RXRs are important in the context of skin health and hair growth, as they can influence the activity of genes involved in these processes.

community Minoxidil works only with Retinoic acid

314 upvotes 1 year ago

Minoxidil is more effective when combined with retinoic acid, such as tretinoin or tazarotene, enhancing hair growth. Some users experience significant regrowth, while others see minimal effects or side effects.

community DLQ01: A Better "Minoxidil" PGF2a synthetic analogue.

3 upvotes 1 year ago

DLQ01, a prostaglandin F2α analog, shows promise for hair growth by directly stimulating PGE2/PGF receptors without needing conversion, and can be combined with minoxidil and retinoids like tretinoin for enhanced effectiveness. Minoxidil's efficacy may be reduced by COX-1 inhibitors, but using prostaglandin analogs like Latanoprost or Bimatoprost can help maintain its effectiveness.

community Tazarotene shows strong standalone hair regrowth potential, not just a Minoxidil enhancer. Backed by VEGF, HF regeneration, and angiogenesis pathways. Here’s why.

135 upvotes 1 year ago

Tazarotene shows potential as a standalone treatment for hair regrowth by stimulating new hair follicle formation and promoting angiogenesis, similar to microneedling effects. It can be used topically without minoxidil, but users should start with a low concentration to avoid irritation.

community Androgenetic alopecia is a skin disease: DHT-mediated skin disorders

63 upvotes 2 years ago

Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) impacts various skin conditions, including Androgenetic alopecia and seborrheic dermatitis, by causing overactivity in sebaceous glands. Topical medications Tacrolimus and Clobetasol can reduce these inflammatory conditions, and treatments like RU58841, Minoxidil, and Finasteride may also be beneficial.

community Minox 3mg, Finasteride 1.2mg (6 month perfect adherence)

370 upvotes 5 months ago

Significant hair improvement was achieved using 3mg Minoxidil and 1.2mg Finasteride over six months, with no side effects, leading to reconsideration of a hair transplant. A detailed skincare routine, including tretinoin and SPF, also improved skin appearance.
