Did you mean TGF-beta signaling?

GlossaryTGF-beta signaling

cellular communication process regulating growth, differentiation, and immune responses

TGF-beta signaling, or Transforming Growth Factor-beta signaling, is a cellular communication process that regulates various biological functions, including cell growth, differentiation, and immune responses. This pathway involves the binding of TGF-beta proteins to specific receptors on the cell surface, which then activate intracellular molecules called SMADs to transmit signals to the nucleus, influencing gene expression. This pathway is crucial in maintaining tissue homeostasis and has implications in conditions like cancer, fibrosis, and alopecia.

community A concise, easy-to-understand post on Androgenic Alopecia theory and its practical applications

in Research/Science 93 upvotes 4 years ago

The mechanism of Androgenic Alopecia and practical applications of treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, RU58841, dermarolling, scalp massages, anti-fungals, progesterone, estrogen, PPAR-γ activators, reducing oxidative stress, and scalp exercises. It explains why DHT is important in AA and how other factors might be involved such as hypoxia, increased DKK-1 expression, morphological changes to the scalp, skull growth during childhood/puberty, and blood flow.
