GlossaryERK inhibitors

drugs that block proteins involved in cell signaling

ERK inhibitors are drugs or molecules that block the activity of ERK (Extracellular signal-Regulated Kinases), which are proteins involved in sending signals within cells. These signals can control various functions, including cell growth and division. By inhibiting ERK, these drugs can potentially treat conditions like cancer, where cell growth is uncontrolled, or even certain types of hair loss by affecting the pathways that regulate hair follicle activity.

community New Research- Creatine Increasing Scalp DHT Without Corresponding Serum DHT Increase

in Research/Science 121 upvotes 2 years ago

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 Compressed part of research of theory of androgenic/anabolitic balance. AGA h-responders analytic. Theory of physio-metabolitic method of anti AGA treatment

in Research 865 upvotes 1 year ago

The treatment for androgenetic alopecia involves using finasteride and minoxidil with intense exercise and cold exposure to boost metabolism and reduce androgenic effects, potentially leading to hair regrowth. This approach may activate biological pathways for improved hair and overall health.
