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 Does Not Increase DHT And Does Not Cause Hair Loss - Randomized Controlled Trial

in Research/Science 307 upvotes 6 months ago

Creatine does not increase DHT levels or cause hair loss. Personal experiences vary, but scientific evidence shows no link between creatine and hair loss.

community Creatine's effect on Hair Loss and DHT

in Research/Science 99 upvotes 1 year 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.

community What's your option on complementary treatment

in Product 3 upvotes 1 year ago

The conversation discusses complementary treatments for hair loss while using finasteride and minoxidil, including scalp massagers, scrubs, coconut oil, and vitamin supplements. The user seeks opinions on these additional treatments.
