    regulates cell growth and differentiation, crucial for hair regeneration

    The Wnt signaling pathway is a complex network of proteins that play a crucial role in regulating cell growth, development, and differentiation. It is particularly important in the context of hair growth and regeneration, as it influences the activity of hair follicle stem cells. Dysregulation of this pathway can lead to conditions like alopecia or other hair growth disorders.

      community Does melatonin dissolve in isopropyl alcohol

      in Technology  7 upvotes 1 year ago
      The conversation discusses making a topical melatonin solution for hair loss treatment, questioning if isopropyl alcohol can dissolve melatonin. Melatonin is soluble in lipids and alcohol, but it's unstable and should be mixed fresh regularly; it may help hair growth by affecting certain cellular signaling pathways and has anti-androgenic effects.

      community A concise, easy-to-understand post on Androgenic Alopecia theory and its practical applications

      in Research/Science  92 upvotes 2 years ago
      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.
