This study suggests that fibromodulin may regulate transforming growth factor-β activity during scar formation, influencing the transition from fetal scarless repair to adult scar-forming repair in rats.
Finasteride is discussed as a hair loss treatment with benefits like reduced prostate enlargement and skin aging, but it is not seen as a "fountain of youth." Users report mixed experiences, including side effects like decreased libido and dry eyes.
Topical Finasteride doesn't directly reduce 5ar enzyme on scalp and has the same mechanism as oral, needing to go through the liver. Users debate the accuracy of this information and discuss various studies and experiences.
The user saw no significant changes in hair loss after three months on 3mg Dutasteride, having previously used Finasteride and 0.5mg Dutasteride. They plan to continue the high dose for a year despite concerns about side effects and diminishing returns.
Stevia microneedles increased minoxidil absorption and hair growth in mice. The conversation humorously questions the applicability of these results to humans.
