5 / 1000+ resultsresearch Tsc2 Disruption in Mesenchymal Progenitors Regulates Hair Follicles and TGF Beta Signaling
Disrupting the Tsc2 gene in certain cells leads to thicker skin, larger hair, and changes in hair growth signaling, which can be partly reversed with specific treatment.
research TGF-β Family Signaling in Stem Cells
TGF-β signaling is crucial for stem cell maintenance, differentiation, and has implications for cancer treatment.
research TGFβ Signaling Regulates Lipogenesis in Human Sebaceous Gland Cells
TGFβ signaling prevents sebaceous gland cells from producing fats.
research TGF-β Signaling During the Early Phase of Regeneration Is Required for Wound-Induced Hair Follicle Neogenesis
TGF-β signaling is essential for new hair growth after a wound.
research CXXC5: A Novel Regulator and Coordinator of TGF-β, BMP, and Wnt Signaling
CXXC5 is a protein that controls cell growth and healing processes, and changes in its activity can lead to diseases like cancer and hair loss.

5 / 59 resultscommunity Rethinking DHT and Hair Loss: Are We Targeting the Wrong Enemy?
Blocking DHT is not a cure for hair loss; instead, altering how scalp follicles respond to DHT might be more effective. Current treatments like topical finasteride and minoxidil are temporary solutions, and future approaches may involve gene therapy and bioengineering to change follicle behavior.
community Rethinking DHT and Hair Loss: Are We Targeting the Wrong Enemy?
Blocking DHT is not a complete solution for hair loss; instead, altering the scalp's response to DHT may be more effective. Topical finasteride and minoxidil are current treatments, but future approaches may involve bioengineering, gene therapy, and inflammation control.
community Why is Minoxidil not enough for hair loss? (No fin)
Minoxidil alone is often insufficient for treating hair loss because it doesn't address the DHT-related cause. Combining it with finasteride, a DHT blocker, is generally more effective.
community Peptides that Stop Hair Loss? | In-depth Literature Review Video
Peptides like TB500, KPV, GHK-CU, and BPC-157 are overhyped for hair growth with limited proven effectiveness in humans. Combining peptides with delivery methods like iontophoresis and sonophoresis shows promise, but many claims remain unproven.
community A concise, easy-to-understand post on Androgenic Alopecia theory and its practical applications
The mechanism of Androgenic Alopecia and practical applications of treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, RU58841, dermarolling, scalp massages, anti-fungals, progesterone, estrogen, PPAR-γ activators, reducing oxidative stress, and scalp exercises. It explains why DHT is important in AA and how other factors might be involved such as hypoxia, increased DKK-1 expression, morphological changes to the scalp, skull growth during childhood/puberty, and blood flow.
