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 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 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 Is tazarotene potentially better than tretinoin in combination with topical minoxidil?

1 upvotes 10 months ago

Tazarotene may be more effective than tretinoin when combined with topical minoxidil for hair loss due to its selective binding to RAR-beta and gamma, though it can cause irritation. Tazarotene's potency can lead to indirect inflammatory reactions despite potentially causing less irritation than tretinoin.

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 Month 7. Dut/min/stemoxydine/microneedle. Nw7.

in Progress Pictures 172 upvotes 1 year ago

A user shared their 7-month progress on hair regrowth using a regimen of dutasteride, minoxidil, stemoxydine, microneedling, and keto shampoo. They noted significant improvement, particularly in vellus hair growth, and discussed the potential addition of RU58841, though they experienced side effects with it previously.
