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.

research Hairless Modulates Ligand-Dependent Activation of the Vitamin D Receptor-Retinoid X Receptor Heterodimer

28 citations , January 2012 in “Biological & pharmaceutical bulletin”

This study found that the protein hairless acts as both a corepressor and coactivator of the vitamin D receptor, influencing gene transcription in a ligand-selective manner.

research Suppression of Vitamin D Receptor and Induction of Retinoid X Receptor α Expression During Squamous Differentiation of Cultured Keratinocytes

15 citations , March 2000 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology”

This study found that vitamin D receptor expression is associated with proliferating keratinocytes, while retinoid X receptor α is linked to differentiating keratinocytes, suggesting differential targeting by vitamin D metabolites.

research Expression of retinoid-X receptors (-Æ,-a,-a) and retinoic acid receptors (-Æ,-a,-a) in normal human skin: an immunohistological evaluation

January 1997

This study found that RXR and RAR proteins were detectable in normal human skin, suggesting they may play a role in epidermal cell differentiation and hair and gland physiology.

research Expression of retinoid nuclear receptor superfamily members in human hair follicles and its implication in hair growth.

34 citations , September 1997 in “Acta Dermato Venereologica”

This study found that RXR agonists stimulated human hair follicle growth and survival in vitro, suggesting potential for promoting hair growth in humans.

research Pinkie, the First Viable Germline Hypomorph Allele of Retinoid X Receptor Alpha, Reveals an Important Role for RXRa in Th2 Development.

2 citations , November 2004 in “Blood”

In this study, researchers reported that the Pinkie mutation in mice, affecting RXRa activity, leads to skewed Th1 development and suggests RXRa's role in Th2 differentiation, impacting immune responses.

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 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.

community Looking for microneedling experiences (over needling)

4 upvotes 2 weeks ago

The user is concerned about potentially overdoing microneedling for hair loss and is using topical finasteride and minoxidil, with underwhelming results. Other users suggest using tretinoin for better results and discuss the effectiveness of different needle lengths, recommending shorter needles.

community Spironolactone topically with a try ?!

in Research/Science 1 upvotes 2 years ago

A 30-year-old male is considering using dutasteride and fluridil for hair loss maintenance and is curious about the effectiveness of topical spironolactone, as he cannot take finasteride. He is also planning a hair transplant.
