Did you mean SMAD signaling?

GlossarySMAD signaling

cellular process transmitting signals from surface to nucleus

SMAD signaling, also known as the SMAD pathway, is a cellular process that transmits signals from the cell surface to the nucleus in response to transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) and related cytokines. This pathway involves SMAD proteins, which are activated by receptor kinases and then move into the nucleus to regulate gene expression. This signaling is crucial for various biological processes, including cell growth, differentiation, and development, and has implications in conditions like cancer and fibrosis.

community Creatine's effect on Hair Loss and DHT

in Research/Science 102 upvotes 6 months ago

A 21-year-old male managed to control his hair loss using Nizoral, RU58841, and finasteride, but experienced increased scalp itchiness after starting creatine, which subsided upon stopping creatine. Users shared mixed experiences on whether creatine affects hair loss, with some reporting negative effects and others seeing no change or defending its benefits.
