GlossaryS100 Proteins

calcium-binding proteins involved in cell regulation and signaling

S100 Proteins are a family of calcium-binding proteins involved in various intracellular and extracellular functions, such as regulation of protein phosphorylation, enzyme activities, and cell growth and differentiation. They are implicated in several diseases, including cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, and inflammatory conditions, making them significant both in basic biological research and clinical diagnostics.

community In my opinion baldness is more prevalent now and it's being ignored..

in Chat 236 upvotes 2 years ago

The conversation is about the prevalence of baldness among young men and the potential factors contributing to it. Specific treatments mentioned include minoxidil and finasteride.

community Fin isn’t working anymore after 3 years, afraid to switch to dut?

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 27 upvotes 1 year ago

Finasteride stopped working for a user after 3 years, and they are considering switching to dutasteride. Other users suggest trying dutasteride, with some sharing positive experiences and additional treatments like minoxidil and RU58841.

community Creatine is the opposite of minoxidil !

in Research/Science 322 upvotes 1 month ago

Creatine may counteract minoxidil's hair growth effects by closing potassium ATP channels, potentially leading to hair loss in predisposed individuals. Despite anecdotal reports, there is no conclusive evidence linking creatine to hair loss.

community What the hell happened in my family genes?

in Chat 116 upvotes 1 year ago

A user is frustrated about early balding despite older male relatives retaining hair into old age. Another user plans to start finasteride soon to address their hair thinning.

community Does creatine really speed up hair loss if you have male pattern baldness?

in Chat 128 upvotes 1 month ago

Creatine is not proven to cause hair loss, but some report increased shedding, especially with male pattern baldness. Finasteride or minoxidil are suggested to counteract potential hair loss while using creatine.
