5 / 1000+ resultsresearch The presence of glycoproteins in the cell membrane complex of a variety of keratin fibres
Glycoproteins are present in the cell membranes of various keratin fibers.
research The cell membrane complex: Three related but different cellular cohesion components of mammalian hair fibers
The cell membrane complex in mammalian hair has three distinct types with different structures and chemical properties.
research Histochemical observation of the cell membrane complex of hair.
The Cell Membrane Complex in hair has both water-attracting and water-repelling layers.
research A novel method for visualizing hair lipids at the cell membrane complex: Argon sputter etching/scanning electron microscopy1
The method shows how hair lipids form specific patterns and their roles in hair structure.
research Hair Pores Caused by Surfactants via the Cell Membrane Complex and a Prevention Strategy through the Use of Cuticle Sealing
Surfactants damage hair, but sealing the cuticle can prevent this.

5 / 628 resultscommunity The end of balding: We may have just found the secret to hair regrowth
MCL-1 is important for hair follicle stem cell survival, but its impact on human hair regrowth is unclear. Minoxidil and finasteride are the main treatments, with doubts about new discoveries leading to effective human solutions soon.
community Clearing the air on how non-surgical treatments really work
Treatments for hair loss, including finasteride, dutasteride, minoxidil, ketoconazole, microneedling, and low level laser light therapy, which aim to reduce DHT production, increase cell absorption and blood flow, and stimulate epidermal stem cells. It also stresses the importance of patience when using these treatments.
community Minoxidil’s mechanism of action on blood pressure as a potassium channel opening molecule
Minoxidil works by opening potassium channels, leading to reduced blood pressure and potential side effects like reflex tachycardia. It is used for hair growth and affects blood pressure at high doses.
community I think we should all keep an eye out for Pelage PP405. February 2025 will be interesting.
Pelage PP405 is a new hair loss treatment in trials, potentially reactivating dormant hair follicles without affecting hormones. Results are expected in February 2025, offering an alternative to minoxidil and finasteride.
community Does melatonin dissolve in isopropyl alcohol
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.
