community The ending of alopecia? Corticosterone inhibits GAS6 to govern hair follicle stem-cell quiescence

63 upvotes 4 years ago

Corticosterone inhibits GAS6, affecting hair follicle stem-cell activity, with potential implications for stress-related hair loss. Ashwagandha and Vitamin K are suggested for reducing cortisol, but their effectiveness is debated.

community Journey against alopecia - Finasteride 3 month

17 upvotes 4 years ago

A 26-year-old man from France started experiencing hair loss in September 2020 and began using finasteride in June 2021, reporting some improvement after three months without side effects. He plans to continue finasteride for a year before considering additional treatments like minoxidil or dermarolling.

community Polydopamine Synergizes with Quercetin Nanosystem to Reshape the Perifollicular Microenvironment for Accelerating Hair Regrowth in Androgenetic Alopecia.

11 upvotes 2 years ago

A quercetin-encapsulated and polydopamine-integrated nanosystem (PDA@QLipo) shows promise for treating androgenetic alopecia by reshaping the perifollicular microenvironment, outperforming minoxidil in hair regeneration. The nanosystem promotes cell proliferation, hair follicle renewal, and recovery by scavenging reactive oxygen species and enhancing neovascularity.

community Update and new paper from Dr tsuji

26 upvotes 7 years ago

Hair follicle regenerative therapy is being developed, with clinical trials planned in Japan, potentially allowing for hair cloning and eliminating the need for treatments like finasteride. If successful, the treatment could be available in Japan by 2025, but widespread access and affordability may take longer.

community DHT Harms Scalp Microbiome: DHT Itch is REAL

413 upvotes 1 year ago

Increased Malassezia and Cutibacterium in the scalp microbiome are linked to higher sebum production and inflammation in androgenetic alopecia (AGA). Treatments include ciclopirox shampoo, benzoyl peroxide shampoo, clobetasol propionate, calcipotriol, minoxidil, finasteride, and dutasteride.

learn Follistatin

How does follistatin compare to finasteride or dutasteride for treating androgenic alopecia? Finasteride and dutasteride are prescription drugs with large controlled trials showing they lower DHT and slow androgenic hair loss, at the cost of documented hormonal side effects; follistatin targets a different, regenerative pathway but has only one small phase 1 human trial behind it, so it is experimental with unknown safety rather than a comparable alternative.

learn TDM-105795

What types of alopecia or hair loss conditions might TDM-105795 be designed to target based on current research? TDM-105795 may target non-scarring alopecia, particularly androgenetic alopecia.

learn Finasteride

Does hair strand thickness decrease in men with androgenic alopecia? Can finasteride help restore it? Androgenic alopecia thins hair strands by miniaturizing follicles. The pivotal finasteride trials (1,553 men, 1 mg/day, two years) report increased hair counts and improved assessed appearance, but they measured density, not the diameter of individual strands, so the effect on thickness itself is not established.
