    regulates cell signaling pathways affecting hair follicle development

    Secreted Frizzled-Related Protein 2 (SFRP2) is a protein that plays a role in regulating cell signaling pathways, particularly the Wnt signaling pathway, which is crucial for cell growth, differentiation, and development. In the context of hair biology, SFRP2 can influence hair follicle development and cycling, potentially impacting conditions like alopecia.

      community Another blow to the cursed baldness

      in Research/Science  91 upvotes 6 months ago
      A South Korean company, Therazyne, has developed a promising hair loss treatment using a WNT chain surrogate that binds to Frizzled 7, with human follicle testing expected soon. Current treatments like minoxidil and finasteride are not seen as cures, and while optimism exists for future solutions like PP405, approval processes are lengthy.

      community Expectations control for SCUBE3

      in Research/Science  21 upvotes 2 years ago
      SCUBE3, a protein linked to hair growth in moles, was discovered over 25 years ago and is being developed by Amplifica for potential hair loss treatment. Concerns exist about SCUBE3's association with cancer, as it is a protein that promotes cell growth, which could potentially trigger cancer development if used for hair growth therapy.

      community IGF-1 and Peptides? Miracle molecule waiting to be found

      in Research/Science  10 upvotes 6 months ago
      The conversation discusses potential hair loss treatments focusing on stimulating IGF-1 at the follicle level using growth-factor cocktails and engineered peptides, such as Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3, Copper Tripeptide-1, Oligopeptide-20, Thymosin-β4, and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7. It suggests that device-assisted delivery methods like microneedling may enhance effectiveness.
