research Symposium Proceedings of the 4th Intercontinental Meeting of Hair Research Societies: The World of Hair 2004
The 2004 hair research meeting presented new findings on hair cell differentiation, genetic factors in hair loss, hair pigmentation, and potential targeted therapies.
research Finasteride for Prostatic Disease: An Updated and Comprehensive Review
Finasteride helps treat prostate issues and may prevent prostate cancer in high-risk men.
research Interaction Between Dermal Papilla Cells and Follicular Epithelial Cells In Vitro: Effect of Androgen
Testosterone increases hair follicle cell growth when beard or axillary skin cells are present together.
research Balding Hair Follicle Dermal Papilla Cells Contain Higher Levels of Androgen Receptors Than Those From Non-Balding Scalp
Cells from balding scalps have more androgen receptors than cells from non-balding scalps.
research Androgen-Inducible TGF-β1 from Balding Dermal Papilla Cells Inhibits Epithelial Cell Growth: A Clue to Understanding Paradoxical Effects of Androgen on Human Hair Growth
Androgens may cause hair loss by increasing TGF-beta1 from scalp cells, which inhibits hair cell growth.

A user proposed genetically engineering scalp stem cells to stop androgen receptors from causing hair loss. Others discussed the feasibility, existing research, and potential issues with this approach, including targeting the correct cells and unintended effects.
community Why My Discipline Can't Beat My "Watery Belly" on Finasteride
A user experienced a "watery belly" and cellulite after starting finasteride, despite maintaining a disciplined fitness routine. Others suggest checking hormone levels, as changes in DHT and estrogen could affect fat metabolism, but age might also be a factor.
community Methionine? Glycine?
The conversation discusses the potential benefits and risks of using Methionine and Glycine for hair loss, with concerns about cancer risk if not balanced properly. The user seeks opinions on these amino acids for hair health and overall benefits.
community Occipitalis Muscle Tension Theory
Scalp tension from the occipitalis muscle is theorized to contribute to hair loss, but most believe DHT and genetics are the main causes. Treatments like finasteride and minoxidil are considered more effective than addressing scalp tension.
community I interviewed Kintor: GT20029 Clinical Trial Pictures. As well as KX826.
GT20029 and KX826 are promising hair loss treatments, with GT20029 increasing hair count and KX826 showing significant results. KX826 may be a good alternative for those who can't use finasteride or dutasteride, though results vary.
