Research
5 / 1000+ resultsresearch Expression of apoptosis-related genes in the mouse skin during the first postnatal catagen stage, focused on localization of Bnip3L and caspase-12
The research found changes in gene expression related to cell death in mouse skin that help understand hair follicle development and skin health.
research TGF‐β and HSP70 profiles during transformation of yak hair follicles from the anagen to catagen stage
TGF-β2 helps yak hair follicles enter the regression phase, while HSP70 tries to prevent it.

5 / 22 resultscommunity 2 months topical dutasteride plus minoxidil, very happy with the results!
A user's success in treating their hair loss with 2x daily topical dutasteride and minoxidil, as well as the potential for using less frequent application of topical dutasteride due to its long half-life.
community A lot of hair falling out like this, what does it mean? Diffuse thinning, chronic dandruff and scalp crust (seborrheic dermatitis), 28 y/o male
A 28 year old male experiencing diffuse thinning, chronic dandruff and scalp crust (seborrheic dermatitis), with replies discussing the use of topical fin for hormone imbalances and Nizoral for seb derm.
community New and Interesting HairLoss Studies/Papers/Reviews
Hair loss treatments discussed include Dutasteride with Ketoconazole, tissue engineering strategies, and androgenetic alopecia therapies. Massage doubles follicular retention, improving treatment effectiveness.
community Losing gains from 7 months of oral min, fin, dut.
A user reported losing hair after 7 months of using oral minoxidil, finasteride, and dutasteride, but others reassured that this is likely just a shedding phase where old hairs fall out to make way for new growth. Some users experience sheds every 7-8 months and suggest staying consistent with treatment.
community 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.
