GlossaryCell Signaling Proteins

molecules that transmit signals within and between cells

Cell signaling proteins, also known as signaling proteins or signal transduction proteins, are molecules that help cells communicate with each other and respond to their environment. They play a crucial role in transmitting signals from the cell surface to the interior, triggering various cellular responses such as growth, division, or apoptosis. These proteins are essential for maintaining normal cellular functions and can be involved in pathways that affect hair growth and conditions like alopecia.

community Korean scientists breakthrough in hair regeneration targeting CXXC5 protein and WNT Signaling Pathway

54 upvotes 8 years ago

A potential non-invasive topical treatment targeting the WNT Signaling Pathway for hair regeneration is being researched, with positive results on human hair follicle cells. Current effective treatments for hair loss include Minoxidil, finasteride, and hair transplantation.

community Proof DHT is not the main cause of hair loss. TRPS1 Gene and Protein might be. PP405 won’t work. AMP-303 might!

in Research/Science 145 upvotes 4 months ago

Hair loss may be linked to the TRPS1 gene and protein, not just DHT. Amplifica's AMP-303 targets mesenchymal stem cells and shows promise in treating hair loss, unlike Pelage's PP405.
