    GlossaryApoptosis Regulator

    protein controlling programmed cell death in cells

    An apoptosis regulator, also known as a cell death regulator, is a protein that controls the process of apoptosis, which is the programmed death of cells. This process is crucial for maintaining healthy tissue by eliminating damaged or unnecessary cells. Dysregulation of apoptosis can lead to diseases such as cancer, where cells avoid death and proliferate uncontrollably, or degenerative diseases, where excessive cell death occurs.

      PP405 is a potential hair loss treatment that may work by blocking signals that cause hair cells to stop growing, requiring daily application for effectiveness. It could serve as an alternative to minoxidil and finasteride, but it is not yet available on the market and may take several years to be released.

      Topical finasteride is considered a safer option for hair regrowth with fewer systemic side effects compared to oral finasteride. Some users report similar efficacy and side effects between topical and oral treatments, while others prefer topical due to reduced systemic exposure.
