HairClone is developing cell replacement treatments to rejuvenate and generate hair follicles, and has launched a crowdfunding campaign. A user expressed skepticism about the need for crowdfunding.
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 Dental technician is convinced that he has found the cause of pattern hair loss
A dental technician claims malocclusion causes pattern hair loss due to poor scalp circulation. Users debate this, noting treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and microneedling focus on DHT and blood flow.
community FCE 28260: A Forgotten 5α-Reductase Inhibitor
FCE 28260 (PNU 156765), an under-explored 5α-reductase inhibitor, showcases promising results in research by Giudici et al., outperforming well-known treatments like Finasteride in reducing the conversion of testosterone to DHT. Its superior efficacy, demonstrated through lower IC50 values in both natural and human recombinant enzyme studies, suggests it could offer more effective management of DHT-related conditions. Additionally, its lower molecular weight hints at better potential for topical application, potentially offering advantages in treating conditions such as androgenic alopecia. Despite its potential, it has not advanced in development, possibly due to financial limitations, leaving its therapeutic prospects and side effect profile largely unexplored.
community Yes, most models are absolutely on finasteride
The conversation discusses how many male models and celebrities likely use finasteride to prevent hair loss, with some expressing surprise that it's not just good genetics keeping their hair intact. Specific treatments mentioned include finasteride and, in one query, minoxidil.
