research Androgenic Alopecia: Cross-Talk Between Cell Signal Transduction Pathways
Hair loss in Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is due to altered cell sensitivity to hormones, not increased hormone levels. Hair growth periods shorten over time, causing hair to become thinner and shorter. This is linked to miscommunication between cell pathways in hair follicles. There's also a change in gene expression related to blood vessels and cell growth in balding hair follicles. The exact molecular causes of AGA are still unclear.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity A concise, easy-to-understand post on Androgenic Alopecia theory and its practical applications
The mechanism of Androgenic Alopecia and practical applications of treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, RU58841, dermarolling, scalp massages, anti-fungals, progesterone, estrogen, PPAR-γ activators, reducing oxidative stress, and scalp exercises. It explains why DHT is important in AA and how other factors might be involved such as hypoxia, increased DKK-1 expression, morphological changes to the scalp, skull growth during childhood/puberty, and blood flow.
community How much would a high dose dutasteride scalp dht inhibition be?
The conversation discusses the potential for high doses of dutasteride to completely inhibit scalp DHT and speculates whether this could cure baldness when combined with a topical antiandrogen. Specific dosages mentioned are 0.5 mg reducing scalp DHT by 55% and 2.5 mg by about 79%.
community [1.4 years] [Day 240 dutasteride][pics] hair loss gets worse, I am a complete non responder, DHT inhibition does not halt hair loss for me. Should I try minoxidil?
The user experienced worsening hair loss despite using finasteride and dutasteride. They are considering trying minoxidil but are unsure if it will help.
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.
community An argument for why we should take topical Dutasteride seriously
Topical Dutasteride may halt hair loss and effectively treat androgenic alopecia. Combining low-dose oral Dutasteride with topical application could maximize regrowth and minimize side effects.
