A New Technique for Quantitative Analysis of Hair Loss in Mice Using Grayscale Analysis

Developing hair monitoring technology to track scalp and hair changes over time. It aims to provide insights into the effectiveness of hair loss treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.

The post discusses using ImageJ software to objectively track hair regrowth progress. The user is treating Androgen alopecia with dutasteride and minoxidil.

Hair loss treatments are being tested on mice, with methods like minoxidil and stem cell therapy showing promising results. However, human trials are still years away, leading to humorous frustration about mice benefiting first.

A user recommends using a microscope to assess hair density and track hair loss progress, finding it useful for evaluating treatment effectiveness, particularly with dutasteride and minoxidil. They advise against obsessing over hair loss and emphasize focusing on other meaningful life aspects.

The conversation discusses hair regrowth progress using Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841. It highlights the transformation of vellus hairs into terminal hairs in a Norwood 6 frontal area.

A sugar gel applied to mice showed potential for hair regrowth, possibly with fewer side effects than minoxidil. Users are skeptical and await human trials to assess its effectiveness and safety.
