5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Scientists have found that a naturally occurring sugar in humans and animals could be used as a topical treatment for male pattern baldness | In the study, mice received 2dDR-SA gel for 21 days, resulting in greater number of blood vessels and an increase in hair follicle length and denseness
Scientists discovered a sugar gel, 2dDR-SA, that increased hair growth in mice. Users discussed its potential, comparing it to other treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride.
community Is PP405 actually different, or does it fall into the same pattern as previous treatments?
PP405 is being discussed as a potential new approach to hair loss by targeting follicle stem cells, suggesting a different mechanism from existing treatments like finasteride and minoxidil. However, there is skepticism about whether it will lead to meaningful long-term outcomes or follow the pattern of previous treatments that showed promise but lacked consistent results.
community Scalp tension and thickness of the galea aponeurotica, inflammation and potential treatment pathways
Scalp tension potentially affecting hair loss, and potential treatments for male pattern baldness such as Minoxidil, Finasteride and RU58841. Evidence from a study was discussed which suggests that the cause of MPB lies within the follicle itself and is not dependent on its surrounding environment.
community What are these spots on my scalp
A user noticed non-itchy, non-bleeding spots on their scalp while experiencing hair loss. Replies suggest the spots are likely sunspots or liver spots and recommend seeing a dermatologist; hair loss is attributed to male pattern baldness.
community Hair loss research focused on chemistry for decades because we misunderstood the mechanics of growth.
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.
