community Hair loss research focused on chemistry for decades because we misunderstood the mechanics of growth.

51 upvotes 7 months ago

Hair growth relies on mechanical forces, not just chemicals, with tissue acting like a motor. Minoxidil and finasteride help, but maintaining tissue elasticity and addressing mechanical issues are essential.

community Hair loss research is a money grab

227 upvotes 10 months ago

Hair loss is linked to DHT, with treatments like finasteride and minoxidil being common but not definitive. Economic interests influence research, and there is potential for new treatments like PP405 and RU58841.

community People who moan that more important things than hair loss treatment should be researched need to shut the

10 upvotes 1 year ago

Hair loss research is important and contributes to overall scientific advancement, benefiting emotional well-being and potentially aiding other medical fields. Treatments mentioned include PP405 and SCUBE3.

community Solving Hair Loss with Research at MIT

in Research/Science 595 upvotes 1 year ago

Hair loss treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, TDM-105795, and PP405. MIT is hosting a hackathon to find innovative hair loss solutions.

community Researchers working on ways to regenerate lost hair from stem cells identified a recipe for normal hair regeneration in the lab. “A method for cyclical regeneration of hair follicles from hair follicle stem cells and will help make hair follicle regeneration therapy a reality in the near future.”

263 upvotes 5 years ago

Hair loss treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and hair transplants have side effects and limitations. There is hope for future advancements in stem cell therapy and hair follicle regeneration, though skepticism about their effectiveness and timeline persists.

learn Setipiprant

What side effects or limitations have been reported with Setipiprant use in hair loss research? In the one published hair-loss trial (DuBois 2021, 169 men, 24 weeks), setipiprant produced no significant hair regrowth over placebo. Treatment-related side effects — mostly mild headaches, stomach upset and fatigue — were reported in about a quarter of the setipiprant group versus just over twelve percent on placebo, and no serious events were attributed to the drug. It is an unapproved, experimental compound with no long-term safety data.

learn Thymosin Beta 4

What is Thymosin Beta 4, and why is it being researched in relation to hair follicle function and regeneration? Thymosin Beta 4 is a peptide being researched for its potential to enhance hair follicle regeneration.

learn Tofacitinib

How does tofacitinib differ when used orally versus topically in hair loss treatment research? Oral tofacitinib acts on immune signalling throughout the body and has the stronger regrowth evidence in alopecia areata, alongside an FDA boxed warning; topical tofacitinib aims to act only on the scalp, but the human evidence is a handful of small compounded-formulation studies with no large randomized trial. Neither route is approved for hair loss, and regrowth generally reverses after treatment stops.
