research 1339 Casein kinase 1 inhibition in keratinocytes enhances the migration of melanocyte precursors in the hair follicle via KitL/c-Kit signaling pathway
Blocking casein kinase 1 in skin cells can help melanocyte precursors move better, potentially helping with conditions like vitiligo or gray hair.

research Immunohistochemical study assessing stem cell factor receptor C-kit in patients with alopecia
People with alopecia have shorter hair follicles and more c-kit, a stem cell factor receptor, which could predict how the condition progresses.

5 / 366 resultscommunity C’est terrible - at my wits end
A 29-year-old woman is experiencing gradual hair thinning since age 15, suspects Androgenic Alopecia, and has tried 5% minoxidil with little success. She has purchased various hair loss treatments including minoxidil, dutasteride, finasteride, and spironolactone, but is cautious about starting them due to potential interactions with her ADHD medication.
community Rosemary out here changing lives for the better
Rosemary oil is being used as an addition to minoxidil and finasteride for hair health, with mixed opinions on its effectiveness. Some users report positive results, while others see no benefit or experience adverse effects.
community 1 year of regular fin after years of anxiety
User GreatCanuck experienced hair regrowth after using finasteride for a year, reducing anxiety about hair loss. Others in the conversation shared similar positive experiences and discussed family members using the treatment.
community How is it possible for someone to be a non responder to ORAL minoxidil?
Some individuals do not respond to oral minoxidil for hair loss, despite it generally working by improving blood flow to hair follicles. Factors like metabolism, drug interactions, and individual variations in the drug's activation may influence its effectiveness.
community 9 month update - no improvement so far. Are my chances of regrowth slim at this point?
A 35-year-old has seen no hair regrowth after 9 months using treatments including finasteride, pyrilutamide, microneedling, ketoconazole shampoo, and topical dutasteride, but experienced side effects with RU58841. Commenters suggest starting minoxidil for better results and question why it wasn't included from the beginning.
