Comparison Between the Effectiveness of Topical Latanoprost and Topical Minoxidil in Treating Scalp Alopecia Areata in Relation to CD8 Cell Expression: A Study Using Clinical, Dermoscopic, and Immunohistochemical Methods

    TLDR Minoxidil is more effective than Latanoprost for treating patchy alopecia areata.
    The study compared the effectiveness of topical Latanoprost and topical Minoxidil in treating Scalp Alopecia Areata, focusing on CD8 cell expression. Using clinical, dermoscopic, and immunohistochemical methods, the researchers found that both treatments were effective, but Latanoprost showed a slightly higher improvement in hair regrowth and reduction in CD8 cell expression. The study involved a sample size of 50 patients, providing a robust comparison between the two treatments.

      community DLQ01: A Better "Minoxidil" PGF2a synthetic analogue.

      in Research/Science  3 upvotes 2 weeks ago
      DLQ01, a prostaglandin F2α analog, shows promise for hair growth by directly stimulating PGE2/PGF receptors without needing conversion, and can be combined with minoxidil and retinoids like tretinoin for enhanced effectiveness. Minoxidil's efficacy may be reduced by COX-1 inhibitors, but using prostaglandin analogs like Latanoprost or Bimatoprost can help maintain its effectiveness.
