    GlossaryMembrane Transport Proteins

    specialized proteins that move substances across cell membranes

    Membrane Transport Proteins are specialized proteins embedded in the cell membrane that help move substances, such as ions, nutrients, and waste products, in and out of the cell. They play a crucial role in maintaining the cell's internal environment and are essential for various cellular processes, including nutrient uptake, waste removal, and signal transduction.

      community Are carbohydrates needed for hair growth

      in Research/Science  26 upvotes 5 months ago
      A 47-year-old male experienced significant hair loss after losing 37 kg in 6 months on a low-carb diet and started taking biotin, zinc, iron, selenium, and spectral dcn-n. Replies suggest that while carbs are not directly needed for hair growth, they help regulate hormones and nutrient absorption, and rapid weight loss can also contribute to hair loss.

      community If You Have DUPA, PLEASE READ THIS: Everyone Should Be Scalp Biopsied

      in Research  830 upvotes 5 months ago
      Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
