research Prevention and treatment of experimental prostate cancer in lobund-wistar rats. I. Effects of estradiol, dihydrotestosterone, and castration

31 citations , January 1989 in “The Prostate/The prostate”

This study found that early treatment with estradiol or dihydrotestosterone significantly reduced prostate adenocarcinoma development in Lobund-Wistar rats, while later treatments were ineffective.

research The effects of a combination treatment with mesenchymal stem cell and platelet rich plasma on tendon healing: an experimental study

6 citations , January 2021 in “TURKISH JOURNAL OF MEDICAL SCIENCES”

In this study, the authors observed that the combined treatment group showed a significant increase in inflammatory cell density and a higher maximum tensile breaking force in tendon repair by the end of the second month.

research NON-PSORALEN TREATMENT OF VITILIGO. PART II. LESS COMMONLY USED AND EXPERIMENTAL THERAPIES

19 citations , May 1992 in “International Journal of Dermatology”

This article discusses less commonly used and experimental treatments for vitiligo, focusing on therapies other than psoralen, but does not report new clinical results.

research Treatment of contact burn injury with hypericum perforatum: An experimental study

5 citations , April 2019 in “Ege Tıp Dergisi”

This study found that applying Hypericum perforatum methanol extract-containing gel to experimental burns in rats reduced collagen discoloration and vascular damage while preserving hair follicles and epidermal thickness compared to treatment with silver sulfadiazine cream.

research Evaluation of acaricide treatments to experimentally reduce winter tick load on moose

2 citations , November 2024 in “Wildlife Society Bulletin”

The researchers found that combining permethrin (44%) and fluralaner effectively reduced tick load in moose calves, as indicated by less severe hair loss, compared to untreated calves, while topical permethrin (5%) alone had no clear effect on tick load, body mass, or hematocrit.

community Balding for 15 Years, Started Treatment as an Experiment in April — 11 Week Update

170 upvotes 2 months ago

A 37-year-old man has been using a hair loss treatment for 11 weeks, including topical minoxidil, finasteride, tretinoin, dermastamping, and Nizoral shampoo, and is surprised by the progress, noting thicker and longer vellus hairs. He plans to continue and possibly escalate to oral treatments if needed, reporting no side effects so far.

community My experimental hair loss journey under medical supervision: finasteride/dutasteride, oral/topical minoxidil+tretinoin (3-month progress and hair transplant insights for those considering it)

in Treatment 43 upvotes 1 year ago

A 23-year-old discusses their hair loss treatment using finasteride, dutasteride, oral and topical minoxidil, and topical tretinoin under medical supervision. They stress stabilizing hair loss before a hair transplant and plan to continue the regimen for at least 18 months.

community Has anybody experimented with home-remedy sprays to promote hair growth?

in Treatment 4 upvotes 10 months ago

A user is considering using homemade hair sprays with ingredients like fenugreek seeds, rosemary, and lavender to promote hair growth, alongside topical minoxidil. Other users suggest that while these sprays may improve hair health, they are not as effective as minoxidil and finasteride for regrowing hair, and recommend using proven treatments like finasteride for better results.

community Verteporfin and KY19382 experiment

80 upvotes 2 weeks ago

The conversation discusses an experiment involving hair loss treatments, including the use of Verteporfin, KY19382, dutasteride, oral and topical minoxidil, AHK-Cu, and microneedling. The experiment aims to test the effectiveness of these treatments in promoting hair growth and healing without scarring, with updates planned every few months.

community Highly experimental stack! Self Study Coming!

6 upvotes 5 months ago

A 19-year-old plans to use an experimental hair loss treatment stack including micro-needling, Minoxidil, Pyrilutamide, Ketoconazole shampoo, and other unreleased compounds like PP405. Users advise against using unverified treatments and suggest sticking to proven options like Finasteride, with some recommending topical application to avoid side effects.

learn Valproic acid

What biological mechanisms related to hair follicles are linked to valproic acid in experimental treatments? Valproic acid affects hair follicles by modulating cell signaling and gene regulation.

learn TDM-105795

How does TDM-105795 differ from more established hair loss ingredients when included in experimental or emerging treatments? TDM-105795 targets thyroid hormone receptors, differing from established treatments like minoxidil and finasteride.
How is TDM-105795 used in hair-related products, and is it being explored as a topical treatment, an oral option, or both? TDM-105795 is not sold in any hair product — it is an unapproved experimental compound. The public trial registry shows it has been studied only as a topical scalp solution, in three completed company trials (the largest a 71-participant, 16-week Phase 2); no oral programme is registered, and no peer-reviewed publication exists.

learn Verteporfin

How does Verteporfin differ from standard treatments like minoxidil or finasteride? Verteporfin is an experimental treatment, while minoxidil and finasteride are FDA-approved therapies.

learn Follistatin

Are there any clinical studies supporting follistatin as a hair loss treatment? There is no controlled human trial showing follistatin treats hair loss; the published work is mouse and laboratory biology on the activin/follistatin signalling system, plus one small 2011 phase 1 injection study of a combination product, so follistatin remains experimental and unapproved.
