    GlossaryWnt signaling pathway

    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 Better Than Minoxidil? Topical Sodium Valproate

      in Research/Science  51 upvotes 9 months ago
      Topical sodium valproate may promote hair growth by inhibiting GSK3β, allowing beta-catenin to proliferate, but it has potential side effects and requires more research. The conversation also mentions skepticism about a product called Vdphlo1, which includes sodium valproate and other ingredients.

      Peppermint oil may increase hair thickness more effectively than minoxidil, but its effects are mostly studied in animals. Users report mixed results, with some seeing no regrowth and others noting slight improvements when combined with other treatments.

      community The mechanism of androgenic alopecia

      in Research/Science  33 upvotes 1 month ago
      DHT may inhibit hair growth by affecting mitochondrial function, leading to hair follicle miniaturization. Treatments like minoxidil and PP405 may promote hair growth by altering metabolic pathways, potentially counteracting DHT's effects.
