PrEP doesn't increase STI risk in high-risk men, anti-androgen drugs may lower ICU admission for male COVID-19 patients, a 3-point injection is better for crow's feet, and the 'Geriatric-8' tool could help assess frailty in older skin cancer patients.
research Letter from Brisbane [Letters to editor]
This study found a severe MBTPS2 gene mutation in a Japanese IFAP syndrome patient, suggesting other factors may influence the syndrome's clinical features compared to previously studied patients.

5 / 349 resultscommunity If we lose hair because of our sensitivity to DHT, then why are we trying to reduce DHT when our sensitive androgen receptors are the culprit?
The conversation discusses the effectiveness of reducing DHT for hair loss treatment and explores alternative approaches like reducing androgen receptor sensitivity. Specific treatments mentioned include finasteride, dutasteride, pyrilutamide (KX-826), GT20029, and RU58841.
community Long term finasteride users; Did you notice any improvement after 2 years?
Long term Finasteride users and whether or not they have noticed improvements after two years of use, with other treatments such as Minoxidil and dermarolling also discussed. Some replies suggest that improvement is possible even beyond the two year mark while others caution against believing studies backed by the Post-Finasteride Foundation.
community We already know how to permanently fix hair loss. The science is done. The only thing missing is the funding to run one experiment.
A permanent hair loss solution could involve reprogramming hair follicles to resist DHT using mRNA and siRNA. However, high costs, safety concerns, and the pharmaceutical industry's preference for ongoing treatments over one-time cures are major obstacles, with finasteride and minoxidil remaining standard treatments.
community How far are we from gene editing stem cells and implanting them?
Gene editing for hair loss is not yet viable due to technological and economic challenges. Current treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, and hair transplants remain the most practical options.
community Seeking Suggestions for VEGF Gene Therapy in Hair Transplants
A user is exploring VEGF gene therapy to enhance hair transplant results, considering measuring hair shaft diameter and growth rate. Suggestions include using phototrichograms and possibly adding PRP, though its effectiveness is uncertain.
