    TLDR New curcumin analogues help fight prostate cancer by breaking down androgen receptors.
    The document discussed the role of the androgen receptor (AR) in various physiological and pathological conditions, including androgenetic alopecia and prostate cancer. It highlighted that while many curcumin analogues were known for their anticancer properties, they typically worked through general cytotoxic effects. However, new curcumin analogues, such as ASC-J9 and its analogues, were found to inhibit prostate cancer proliferation by specifically enhancing AR degradation, representing a novel mechanism of action.

      community How true is the statement: dead follicles don't grow back?

      in Research/Science  107 upvotes 8 months ago
      Hair follicles usually go dormant rather than die, and treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and hormone therapy can sometimes reactivate them, though results vary. Complete regrowth is rare, especially in long-term bald areas, but some individuals see significant improvement with these treatments.

      community Are there ever going to be any oral DHT blocking treatments in the future?

      in Product  6 upvotes 2 years ago
      The discussion revolves around the need for future oral DHT blockers for hair loss treatment that don't have the side effects of current options like Finasteride and Dutasteride. One user suggests that the future of hair loss treatment will likely be topical anti-androgens, as they can target hair follicles without affecting the entire system.
