Glossary WNT gene family

group of genes producing proteins for cell signaling pathways

The WNT gene family consists of a group of genes that produce proteins involved in signaling pathways crucial for cell growth, development, and differentiation. These pathways play a significant role in various biological processes, including embryonic development and the regulation of hair growth, making them important in both normal physiology and disease states like cancer and alopecia.

community DHT Isn’t the Only Factor in Hair Loss and That Might Be the Key to a Real Cure

373 upvotes 6 months ago

Hair loss involves more than just DHT, with genetic factors like TRPS affecting hair follicles. Treatments such as Amplifica's AMP-601 and AMP-303 target stem cells for potential hair growth solutions.

community DIY treatment... Shedding completely stopped after 1.5 yrs

251 upvotes 4 years ago

Vitamin C mixed with shampoo stopped shedding and promoted hair regrowth after 1.5 years. Both the person and their wife experienced significant hair loss reduction with this method.

community Damn, the trash hormone DHT was losing so hard it pulled the "old social media post" card

196 upvotes 2 years ago

The conversation is about hair loss treatments, including minoxidil, finasteride, dutasteride, tretinoin, stemoxydine, adenosine, castor oil, baicalin, and bimatoprost. The user shares their nightly and morning routines and discusses the role of DHT in hair loss.

community So we have 20k dollars human like machines available but no new effective treatment for hairloss since finasteride :)

in Chat 237 upvotes 1 year ago

There have been no new effective hair loss treatments since finasteride, despite technological advancements. Current treatments include finasteride, minoxidil, and RU58841, with ongoing challenges and potential future solutions in research.

community My Theory Of Androgenic Alopecia

16 upvotes 9 months ago

Hair loss is linked to cellular physiology and the IGF-1 to TGF-B1 ratio, not just androgen sensitivity. The theory lacks evidence, while finasteride and minoxidil are effective treatments.
