The post and conversation are about the role of the enzyme 3alpha-hydroxysteroid reductase in hair loss and the potential of compounds like procyanidin B2 and sulforaphane to boost its activity for hair regrowth. Further research is needed to develop effective treatments based on this theory.
Hair cloning is being developed by companies like Kangstem Biotech and Stemson, with potential availability in a few years. Initial costs are expected to be high, but prices may decrease over time.
Topical finasteride is considered a safer option for hair regrowth with fewer systemic side effects compared to oral finasteride. Some users report similar efficacy and side effects between topical and oral treatments, while others prefer topical due to reduced systemic exposure.
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.
Potential treatments for hair loss, including Minoxidil, finasteride, RU58841 and various upcoming pharmaceuticals, gene editing and cloning. It is suggested that a cure, if found, would be highly profitable due to the large number of people affected by hair loss globally.
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.
Hair loss treatments, including minoxidil, dermarolling, finasteride, dutasteride, hair transplants, hair systems, and shaving the head. The conversation covers various opinions on these treatments and mentions possible side effects as well as alternatives like wigs, vitamins, and lifestyle changes.

The conversation includes various opinions on attractiveness, with some agreeing that being bald can work for certain men, while others suggest maintaining hair is generally more appealing.
Hair loss can begin in early adolescence and cause mental anguish. Treatments mentioned include eating cruciferous vegetables, engaging in physical activity, and maintaining scalp hygiene.
PP405, a topical LDH inhibitor, has shown to stimulate hair folliclestemcell proliferation in humans with moderate hair loss. They are advancing to more detailed trials this year.
JW0061 shows superior hair growth results compared to existing treatments, with significant increases in hair follicles. The Wnt/β-catenin pathway is crucial for hair growth, and JW0061 activates this pathway effectively.
Treatments used to prevent and treat male pattern baldness, the difficulty in finding a permanent cure for hair loss, and the potential financial motivations of companies not wanting to find a cure.
A user's hairline recovery after severe hair loss, which was treated with Dutasteride and Minoxidil; other users offered their opinions on the severity of the hair loss.
A man who claimed to have regrown his hair using stemcell treatment, sparking a debate about its effectiveness and cost. Some users suggested he might be using other treatments or substances, while others shared their own experiences with stemcell therapy for hair loss.
User hoodoomoovoo discusses their interest in stemcell research and its potential for hair loss treatment. They share links to studies and mention ongoing trials, expressing optimism for a future solution to hair loss.
Users discuss potential game-changing hair loss treatments in the next 10 years. Some mention KX-826, SCUBE3, and stemcells as promising options, while others express doubt due to past disappointments and lack of focused research.
This conversation discusses the advancements in treatments for hair loss, including finasteride, dutasteride, minoxidil and new promising treatments such as pyrilutamide and verteporfin. Other treatments discussed were taking minoxidil orally, tretinoin to turn non-responders into responders and microneedling to further boost growth.
Dr. Bloxham's trial is testing verteporfin on hair transplant patients to see if it can improve hair regrowth in treated areas. People are discussing the potential for follicle regeneration, expected results timeline, and concerns about side effects like cancer.
User "Ant1pal" shares progress pictures of hair regrowth using Minoxidil, Estradiol valerate, and Spironolactone. Users discuss potential side effects and the possibility of localizing estrogen to hair follicles for better treatment.
