    TLDR A PTH-based treatment improved hair regrowth better than ruxolitinib in a mouse model of hair loss.
    The study compared the effects of a single subcutaneous injection of PTH-CBD and daily oral administration of the JAK inhibitor ruxolitinib on hair regrowth and anagen hair follicle counts in C3H/HeJ mice with alopecia areata over 8 weeks. Results showed that PTH-CBD treatment led to a significant increase in anagen hair follicles (p<0.05) and improved hair regrowth compared to ruxolitinib, despite similar immune cell infiltration. Additionally, PTH-CBD-treated mice exhibited increased beta-catenin production in hair follicles. The findings suggest that PTH-CBD can promote hair regrowth comparable to ruxolitinib, potentially by enhancing beta-catenin production and stimulating the anagen phase transition of hair follicles.

      The conversation is about a user trying a new hair loss treatment, Ruxolitinib, alongside their existing regimen of finasteride, minoxidil, ketoconazole shampoo, and microneedling. They plan to apply Ruxolitinib to their temples daily for 1-2 months.

      Key treatments for hair preservation include minoxidil, finasteride/dutasteride, and microneedling, with additional options like specific shampoos, oils, biotin, zinc, tretinoin, clascoterone, and low-level laser therapy. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, reducing stress, and addressing nutrient deficiencies can also support hair health.
