    TLDR The authors confirmed that β-estradiol inhibits hair growth in mice when used at the correct concentration.
    The authors acknowledged a mistake in their initial experiments regarding the concentration of β-estradiol used, which was not as reported in the original study by Oh and Smart. Upon repeating the experiments with the correct concentrations, they confirmed that β-estradiol inhibited the normal progression of spontaneous anagen in pigmented mice (C57B16). This led to new insights into estrogen receptor-mediated signaling in murine hair growth control. They expressed gratitude to Drs. Oh and Smart for highlighting this phenomenon and apologized for any confusion caused by their oversight. The editorial office also apologized for not allowing Drs. Smart and Oh to respond to the original letter.

      The conversation discusses the side effects of finasteride, including low libido and erectile dysfunction, and the possibility of these effects being permanent, known as post-finasteride syndrome (PFS). Some users report personal experiences with PFS and debate whether the condition is real, with varying opinions on the reversibility of side effects and the role of individual biology.
