research Oral Minoxidil Bio-Activation by Hair Follicle Outer Root Sheath Cell Sulfotransferase Enzymes Predicts Clinical Efficacy in Female Pattern Hair Loss
Minoxidil activation by hair enzymes predicts treatment success for female hair loss.
research Low-Dose Oral Minoxidil for Treating Alopecia: A 3-Year North American Retrospective Case Series
Low-dose oral minoxidil is an effective and well-tolerated treatment for hair growth in alopecia patients.
research The Effect of Topical Minoxidil Treatment on Follicular Sulfotransferase Enzymatic Activity
Topical minoxidil does not change the activity of hair follicle enzymes that metabolize it.
research Tretinoin Enhances Minoxidil Response in Androgenetic Alopecia Patients by Upregulating Follicular Sulfotransferase Enzymes
Tretinoin boosts minoxidil's effect on hair loss by increasing enzyme activity.
research Sulfotransferase SULT1A1 Activity in Hair Follicle: A Prognostic Marker of Response to Minoxidil Treatment in Androgenetic Alopecia
Sulfotransferase SULT1A1 activity may predict minoxidil treatment success for hair loss.

5 / 238 resultscommunity I literally can’t find any evidence of sulfotransferase being upregulated by microneedling or retinoids like tretinoin
Microneedling and tretinoin may enhance minoxidil absorption for hair loss, but evidence on their effectiveness is limited. Iron supplements and broccoli sprouts are suggested for enzyme activation, but their impact on hair is unclear.
community Will minoxidil not work if there’s too much DHT present in the scalp?
The user has been using topical finasteride and minoxidil for five months with little progress and is considering oral dutasteride to lower DHT levels, questioning if minoxidil is more effective with reduced DHT. They also use microneedling and tretinoin in their treatment routine.
community Does CosmeRNA target the root cause of MPB?
.
CumsOnYourFeet69 has been discussing a new treatment called CosmeRNA which claims to target the root cause of male pattern baldness, and is considering using it in conjunction with Minoxidil instead of Finasteride due to possible side effects. Replies have highlighted that the efficacy of this treatment is still unknown, but it could be used as an effective maintenance option if successful.
community Minoxidil Response Bottlenecks: Why Sulfation and Transport Matter (And Where Tretinoin Fits In)
Minoxidil's effectiveness is limited by the need for sulfation and proper transport to hair follicles, with tretinoin potentially enhancing its effects by promoting enzyme activity and keratinocyte differentiation. Tretinoin may improve minoxidil's response by boosting the expression of necessary enzymes and transporters.
community We should actually be hopeful for these recent new developments
AI advancements, like AlphaFold, are speeding up drug discovery for hair loss, promising more effective treatments. Current options like minoxidil and finasteride have limitations, but new developments could improve solutions in 5-10 years.
