Did you mean SMAD signaling?

Glossary SMAD 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.

research Live imaging of Smad2/3 signaling in mouse skin wound healing

12 citations , September 2007 in “Wound repair and regeneration”

This study found that in vivo bioluminescence can track Smad2/3-dependent TGF-β signaling during the wound healing process in mice, with signaling increasing after healing rather than immediately post-wounding.

Network Pharmacology and In Vivo Experimental Analysis for Validating the Antifibrotic Potential of Punica Granatum Leaves Against Skin Scleroderma: The Role of Oxidative Stress, Inflammation and TGF-β1/Snail 1/p-Smad 3 Signaling Pathway

research Network pharmacology and in vivo experimental analysis for validating the antifibrotic potential of Punica granatum leaves against skin scleroderma: the role of oxidative stress, inflammation and TGF-β1/Snail 1/p-Smad 3 signaling pathway

April 2026 in “Inflammopharmacology”

This study found that Punica granatum ethanolic leaf extract may alleviate skin fibrosis in rats by modulating inflammation-related pathways and reducing dermal alterations.

research Reduced SMAD2/3 activation independently predicts increased depth of human cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma

11 citations , February 2018 in “Oncotarget”

This study observed that reduced activation of SMAD2/3 proteins in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma tissue compared to adjacent tissue may indicate a tumor suppressor role in disease progression.

Kaempferol Enhances Hair Growth by Regulating JAK3/STAT6 and TGF-β/Smad Signaling in Human Dermal Papilla Cells and a C57BL/6 Mouse Model

research Kaempferol enhances hair growth by regulating JAK3/STAT6 and TGF-β/Smad signaling in human dermal papilla cells and a C57BL/6 mousemodel

October 2025 in “Records of Natural Products”

This research found that kaempferol, a flavonoid from hair growth-promoting plants, significantly enhanced human dermal papilla cell proliferation and inhibited specific signaling pathways, outperforming minoxidil, with topical application in mice promoting hair growth and thickness, indicating potential as a natural hair loss treatment.

research Paracrine TGF-β Signaling Counterbalances BMP-Mediated Repression in Hair Follicle Stem Cell Activation

321 citations , January 2012 in “Cell stem cell”

This study identified TGF-β2 as a crucial signal in hair follicle stem cell regeneration, highlighting its role in counteracting BMP signaling to promote tissue regeneration.

community Reducing Fibrosis in Hair Loss: Topical Pirfenidone

59 upvotes 5 months ago

Topical pirfenidone is highlighted as an effective anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic treatment for hair loss, particularly in addressing perifollicular fibrosis, which may enhance the effectiveness of standard treatments like finasteride and minoxidil. The user also uses calcipotriol, MCT oil, ciclopirox shampoo, and benzoyl peroxide shampoo as part of their regimen.

community Amplifica: Hope or Cope? A Review of Their Pipeline

9 upvotes 4 weeks ago

Amplifica's AMP-303 showed a modest increase in hair growth, but results were inconsistent and potentially misleading. Hyaluronic acid and osteopontin are being explored for hair growth, with varying effects on different hair types and conditions.
