This article argues that esthetic dermatology could benefit from a more biologically informed approach through the integration of advanced biomarkers and imaging technologies, but cautions that many tools are not yet fully validated for clinical use.
In this study, researchers identified three molecules in hair that varied with age, suggesting potential markers for aging and targets for cosmetic products.
This study identified aging-related epigenetic and transcriptomic biomarkers and suggested that curcumin might target and inhibit the JUN gene, implicating potential therapeutic strategies against aging.

This study describes the PandaOmics platform, which uses AI and bioinformatics to identify new therapeutic targets and biomarkers for various diseases, demonstrating validation in laboratory and animal studies.
Combining therapies like scyllo-inositol, alpha-ketoglutarate, and autophagy-inducing supplements may enhance hair growth and prevent hair loss. Reporting individual results can accelerate progress in hair loss treatments.
Higher doses of dutasteride, such as 2.5mg, are more effective at reducing scalp DHT than 0.5mg, but are costly and inconvenient. A 1mg dose is considered a more affordable and practical option, though its efficacy is uncertain.
A 21-year-old individual questioning the safety and potential side effects of using Dutasteride for hair loss, after Finasteride and RU58841 had limited effect. The responses vary, with some users suggesting it's safe and others advising to check hormone levels before proceeding.
Prolactin and cortisol are identified as key factors in hair loss, with stress hormones impacting hair shedding. Finasteride and minoxidil are effective treatments, while DHT's role and individual sensitivity are significant factors.
