    specific biological indicators signaling hair follicle activity and health

    Hair Growth Markers are specific biological indicators, such as proteins or genes, that signal the activity and health of hair follicles. These markers help scientists and medical professionals understand the phases of hair growth, diagnose hair loss conditions like alopecia, and develop targeted treatments to promote hair regrowth.

      community Fresh off the press: Dutasteride may cause chronic infertility

      in Research/Science  643 upvotes 3 months ago
      Dutasteride may cause chronic infertility by reducing semen volume and motility, with concerns about irreversible prostate fibrosis. Users consider switching to finasteride or using treatments like minoxidil and microneedling, weighing hair preservation against fertility.

      community Insane dutasteride shed 4 months after switching.

      If You Have DUPA, PLEASE READ THIS: Everyone Should Be Scalp Biopsied

      community If You Have DUPA, PLEASE READ THIS: Everyone Should Be Scalp Biopsied

      in Research  830 upvotes 11 months ago
      Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
