    GlossaryActin Cytoskeleton

    dynamic network of actin filaments supporting cell shape and movement

    The actin cytoskeleton, also known as the actin filament network, is a dynamic structure composed of actin proteins that form filaments within cells. It plays a crucial role in maintaining cell shape, enabling cell movement, and facilitating various cellular processes such as division and intracellular transport. This network is essential for the structural integrity and functionality of cells, including those involved in hair growth and maintenance.

Replies suggest that without finasteride, the plan is unlikely to be effective, and recommend either using finasteride or shaving their head.

      community Mechanism of action of alfatradiol (17 alpha estradiol)

      in Research/Science  5 upvotes 1 year ago
      The conversation discusses the mechanism of action of alfatradiol (17 alpha estradiol) in treating hair loss. It explores theories that it either inhibits 5 alpha reductase to prevent T->DHT conversion or aromatizes scalp T into 17-alpha-estradiol to save hair.

      community Mechanism of Action these drugs re-grow hair?

      in Technology  2 upvotes 2 years ago
      Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841 promote hair growth by different mechanisms, with minoxidil and prostaglandin E1 being specifically mentioned. Corticosteroids can also cause hair growth.
