research Diverse cellular players orchestrate regeneration after wounding
Different cell types work together to repair skin, and targeting them may improve healing and reduce scarring.
research Physiologic functions of PP2A: Lessons from genetically modified mice
Mice studies show that Protein Phosphatase 2A is crucial for cell growth, development, and disease prevention.
research Cellular senescence in tissue repair: every cloud has a silver lining
Cell aging can be both good and bad for tissue repair.
research Spiny mice ( Acomys ) have evolved cellular features to support regenerative healing
Spiny mice can regenerate tissues instead of forming scars.
research Calreticulin: non‐endoplasmic reticulum functions in physiology and disease
Calreticulin has roles in healing, immune response, and disease beyond its known functions in the endoplasmic reticulum.

5 / 136 resultscommunity My Theory Of Androgenic Alopecia
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.
community Creatine is the opposite of minoxidil !
Creatine may counteract minoxidil's hair growth effects by closing potassium ATP channels, potentially leading to hair loss in predisposed individuals. Despite anecdotal reports, there is no conclusive evidence linking creatine to hair loss.
community New Research- Creatine Increasing Scalp DHT Without Corresponding Serum DHT Increase
Creatine may increase scalp DHT without affecting serum DHT, potentially speeding up male pattern baldness (MPB) for those genetically prone. Treatments mentioned include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
community Study: There is 70x Higher Unconjugated DHT in Feces Compared To Blood Levels in Young Adults - Gut Microbiota Manages DHT Recycling and Metabolism
Gut microbiota significantly influences androgen metabolism, impacting hair loss treatments like finasteride. Probiotics, dietary changes, and fecal microbiota transplants may help manage DHT levels and improve hair health.
community A meta analysis of 18 popular hair loss treatments. An 2022 guide on efficacy. From finasteride and minoxidil to caffeine shampoo, saw palmetto and biotin. 96 Scientific References included.
Most hair loss treatments are ineffective; only finasteride, dutasteride, and minoxidil show effectiveness.
