    TLDR Retinoic acid reduces cell damage from oxidative stress.
    The study investigated the protective effects of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) on oxidative stress-induced damage in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell-derived hair cells. The research focused on the impact of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as an oxidative stressor. The expression of MATH1 and SOX2 genes was analyzed using immunocytochemistry, and the apoptosis rate was assessed with acridin-orange staining. The results demonstrated that ATRA significantly reduced apoptosis in hair cell-like cells exposed to H2O2, indicating its protective role against oxidative stress damage.

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

      in Research/Science  3 upvotes 11 months 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.

      community Painkillers May Block Minoxidil

      in Research/Science  14 upvotes 10 months ago
      Painkillers like Aspirin may reduce Minoxidil's effectiveness by inhibiting the enzyme PGHS-1, which is crucial for hair growth. Using NSAIDs that inhibit COX-2 or combining Minoxidil with PGF2/E2 analogues or retinoids may enhance its efficacy.

      community Looks like a real cure to the root of baldness (DHT-induced senescence) was proven earlier this year

      A study that outlines the full model for androgenic alopecia (AGA) which links DHT to cellular senescence in dermal papilla cells, and suggests black chokeberry as a source of cyanidin 3-O-arabinoside polyphenol with potential anti-oxidant properties that could reverse this process. The post encourages reaching out to experts in anti-aging and longevity to research treatments involving the polyphenol.
