TLDR AL136131.3 slows hair growth by affecting energy processes in hair loss.

The study investigates the role of long non-coding RNA AL136131.3 in androgenetic alopecia (AGA) by analyzing miniaturized and normal hair follicles from 10 AGA patients. It identifies 378 mRNAs and 137 lncRNAs with differential expression between these follicles. AL136131.3, among others, is up-regulated in miniaturized follicles and is linked to fructose and mannose metabolism pathways. The study finds that overexpression of AL136131.3 inhibits hair shaft growth, accelerates the transition of hair follicles into the catagen phase, and affects glycolysis-related genes PPARγ and PKM, suggesting its inhibitory role in hair growth in AGA.

community So we have 20k dollars human like machines available but no new effective treatment for hairloss since finasteride :)

in Chat 237 upvotes 2 months ago

There have been no new effective hair loss treatments since finasteride, despite technological advancements. Current treatments include finasteride, minoxidil, and RU58841, with ongoing challenges and potential future solutions in research.

community We need to keep these snake oil companies accountable.

Biotin is being misleadingly marketed as a primary treatment for androgenic alopecia, overshadowing more effective treatments like finasteride and minoxidil. There is a call for increased awareness and accountability to prevent misinformation.

community Why is dht bad for scalp hair but good for hair on the rest of body?

in Satire 109 upvotes 1 year ago

The conversation discusses why DHT (dihydrotestosterone) negatively affects scalp hair but promotes growth elsewhere on the body. Various opinions include genetic predispositions, differences in hair follicle reactions to DHT, and the potential role of Omega-3 in reducing inflammation and promoting hair health.

community How do we only have two treatments to combat hair loss at this point in time?

in Chat 211 upvotes 1 year ago

The post discusses frustration over the limited and not always effective treatments for hair loss, mainly Minoxidil and Finasteride. The conversation includes mentions of potential new treatments like GT20029, HMI-115, CosmeRNA, KX-826, and microneedling, but also highlights the challenges of funding and prioritizing research in this area.

community Quit vaping/smoking = 80% less loss

in Research/Science 235 upvotes 8 months ago

Quitting vaping significantly reduced hair loss for a user who was a heavy vaper and also taking finasteride. Some participants suggest nicotine's vasoconstrictive properties may worsen hair loss, while others share personal anecdotes of hair improvement after quitting smoking or vaping.

community I find it funny a bunch of us on here are on drugs for hairloss and maintain clean/healthy lives and then there’s these mf’s in the 90’s juiced to the gills with steroids and have better hair than all of us lol

The conversation is about the effects of steroids on hair loss. Some users believe that steroids can cause hair loss, while others argue that it depends on individual sensitivity to DHT. There is also discussion about the appearance of balding individuals who use steroids.
