Cannabis and THC may have mixed effects on hair, with some studies suggesting potential negative impacts on hair growth in isolated hair follicles, but these results are hard to apply to living humans. Treatments like minoxidil and finasteride are commonly used for hair loss, and the effects of cannabis might be neutral or vary based on individual factors.
Chinese researchers have successfully created hair follicles in vitro, potentially offering unlimited hair for transplantation and a cure for hair loss. They plan to test these follicles in vivo on human scalps.
A new "third cell" discovery in Japan could be key to fully regenerating hair follicles, with human trials possibly starting in 2027-2028. AI is expected to accelerate medical discoveries, potentially leading to a hair loss cure within a few years.
miR-205, a tiny RNA, can stimulate hair growth by softening aging hair follicle stem cells in mice. Future tests aim to see if this can work in humans.
Pilose antler extracts may promote hair growth in androgenetic alopecia by activating hair follicle stem cells through the AKT and Wnt pathways. However, results in mice may not directly apply to humans due to differences in genetic and biochemical conditions.
A peptide from Japanese water chestnut fruit may help with hair loss by suppressing DHT's effect on hair follicle cell death, potentially serving as a finasteride alternative. The treatment's effectiveness and safety in humans remain uncertain.
MCL-1 is important for hair follicle stem cell survival, but its impact on human hair regrowth is unclear. Minoxidil and finasteride are the main treatments, with doubts about new discoveries leading to effective human solutions soon.
A potential treatment for alopecia involving a protein that calms hair follicles has shown promise in rats, but skepticism remains about its applicability to humans. Many users express doubt about the timeline for effective hair loss treatments, comparing it to past unfulfilled promises.
Topical Metformin shows potential for regenerating hair follicles and minimizing scarring in hair transplant donor areas, similar to Verteporfin but without its side effects. The discussion suggests considering Metformin for post-hair transplant care, though more human trials are needed.
Japanese scientists discovered ABM cells, enabling successful human hair follicle cloning, potentially curing hair loss. The treatment may be available in Japan by 2028, but it will be expensive and require travel.
A potential breakthrough in hair loss treatment involves softening hair follicle stem cells, but its effectiveness in humans is uncertain. Users express skepticism, noting past successes in mice that haven't translated to human treatments.
A recent discovery in hair cloning identified a previously unknown cell type essential for hair follicle growth, which could potentially make lab-grown hair viable if translated to humans. However, skepticism remains due to past delays and the challenges of replicating results in humans and making the process affordable.
Deoxyribose sugar gel may stimulate hair regrowth similarly to minoxidil by enhancing blood supply and follicle activity. Human trials are necessary, and current products have mixed results.
Liposomal formulations of finasteride and minoxidil may enhance drug delivery to the skin and hair follicles more effectively than traditional solutions, potentially improving treatment outcomes. However, more human clinical trials are needed to confirm these benefits.
A potential non-invasive topical treatment targeting the WNT Signaling Pathway for hair regeneration is being researched, with positive results on human hair follicle cells. Current effective treatments for hair loss include Minoxidil, finasteride, and hair transplantation.
A sugar gel called 2-deoxy-D-ribose (2dDR) shows potential for promoting hair regrowth by increasing blood supply to hair follicles, similar to Minoxidil, but its effectiveness in humans is unproven. It may benefit those who don't tolerate Minoxidil, but it is not a replacement for treatments like Finasteride or RU58841.
The conversation discusses an interview with Dr. Tsuji about hair follicle stem cell multiplication and the financial challenges of starting human clinical trials. It also mentions the need for funding to secure a patent for a protein that promotes hair growth.
A South Korean company, Therazyne, has developed a promising hair loss treatment using a WNT chain surrogate that binds to Frizzled 7, with humanfollicle testing expected soon. Current treatments like minoxidil and finasteride are not seen as cures, and while optimism exists for future solutions like PP405, approval processes are lengthy.
PP405, a topical LDH inhibitor, has shown to stimulate hair follicle stem cell proliferation in humans with moderate hair loss. They are advancing to more detailed trials this year.
Hair loss can be treated by correcting glucose metabolism in hair follicles and using equol as a safer DHT blocker. Production of these treatments is starting soon, and a Discord channel is available for more information.
Human pluripotent stem cells have been used to create hair and skin, potentially offering a new solution for baldness. A user also mentioned starting finasteride but experiencing unexpected hair thinning.
PP405 is ineffective for miniaturized, fibrosed hair follicles in androgenetic alopecia. AMP303 may activate hair follicle stem cells, but minoxidil and finasteride are still the main treatments.
PP405 was ineffective for hair growth as some follicles were already active before treatment, raising doubts about its efficacy. Users discussed other hair loss treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841, expressing skepticism and hope for future solutions.
ABS-201 shows promise for male hair regrowth by blocking the prolactin receptor, with higher expected efficacy than current treatments. The discussion also covers dosing differences between macaques and humans for hmi115, highlighting a significant dosage disparity.
Scientists have successfully grown functional hair follicles in the lab, marking a significant advancement in hair regeneration research. A user shared their personal experience with hair loss treatments, including Minoxidil and Finasteride, and plans to share a detailed protocol for hair restoration.
Creating new hair follicles is unlikely in the next 10-20 years, with current treatments focusing on stimulating existing follicles. Experimental treatments like ky19382 are being tested, but reliable solutions are not yet available.
