Could someone with a more scientific background interpret what this study found out about the use of PAK1 for hair loss? It seems very promising, no? Link to the study: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28098826
The research team isolated bioactive compounds from a flower (alpinia) that are believed to block the PAK1 enzymes, whose blocking is believed to correlate negatively with hair loss and cancer.
Well, it seems too good to be true and we know very little about it, to boot.
Nice finding, though.
Well done!
Thnx...

Nice find!

(In vitro )increased the proliferation of human follicle dermal papilla cells by approximately 117%-180% and 132%-226%, respectively,

It is extra nice that the compound works against cancer as well, which should mean extra traction to get it out and to the market.

Maybe we can ask Kane to do it?

And is it possible to add this in Minoxdidil?

dermarolling + propolis?
Maybe, I'm personally tired of trying these treatments. I already did curcumin and dermarolling to no results

Sigma Aldrich also sells the Cucurbitacin I molecule that's apparently more effective than propolis

JAKS are already here. It "cured" AA, we have photos and studies but they're still not on the market after 3 or more years!

and now we are reading about something completely new, we have no studies, no photos, nothing. It makes me very pessimistic :|
How can we be happy for something when we have no proof when JAKS have shown us everything but still no one can use it...

Scientists tend to ignore that DHT is actually a hair growth promoting substance anywhere on human skin except the top of the scalp(DHT paradox).
We don't need another hair stimulant that works in vitro,we have hundreds of them and none is effective in reversing scalp miniaturization.
