research Calcineurin/Nfatc1 signaling links skin stem cell quiescence to hormonal signaling during pregnancy and lactation

40 citations , April 2014 in “Genes & Development”

The researchers reported that in mice, prolactin signaling in the skin epithelium inhibits hair follicle stem cell activation, promoting quiescence during periods of high serum prolactin like pregnancy and lactation.

research Sex differences in and hormonal regulation of Kv1 potassium channel gene expression in the electric organ: Molecular control of a social signal

22 citations , February 2007 in “Developmental neurobiology”

This study found that variations in Kv1 channel gene expression in the electric organ of Sternopygus correlate with sex differences and individual variations in their electric communication signals.

Machine Learning-Guided Multi-Omics Suggests Iron-Dependent Hormonal Signaling Drives Root Morphological Plasticity in Wheat Under Temperature Stress

research Machine learning‐guided multi‐omics suggests iron‐dependent hormonal signaling drives root morphological plasticity in wheat under temperature stress

June 2026 in “New Phytologist”

This study used multi-omics analysis to explore how wheat roots adapt to temperature stress, revealing that distinct hormonal signaling pathways are linked to iron homeostasis and drive root morphological changes, supporting the idea of an 'iron-dependent hormonal trade-off' model.

research Arabidopsis ADF8 and ADF11 contribute to root hair growth to respond to hormone and environmental signals

February 2026 in “The Plant Journal”

This study found that in Arabidopsis, root hair-specific proteins ADF8 and ADF11 are crucial for responding to hormonal signals like auxin and ethylene, which in turn modulate actin filament dynamics and are key for root hair growth under various environmental conditions.

research Hormonal regulation in male androgenetic alopecia—Sex hormones and beyond: Evidence from recent genetic studies

15 citations , June 2020 in “Experimental Dermatology”

This review discusses recent genetic findings on hormonal signaling pathways in androgenetic alopecia, reporting no new study results but highlighting the need for further investigation.

community Why does the same hormone grow your beard and destroy your hairline?

44 upvotes 4 months ago

DHT promotes beard growth but causes scalp hair loss due to inflammation and fibrosis. Treatments like finasteride and minoxidil help with hormonal signals and blood flow but don't address underlying inflammation.

community The Real Reason For Hair Loss?

8 months ago

Hair loss is linked to scalp fibrosis and tension, which result from chronic mechanical stress and androgenic signaling. Treatments include blocking androgens with finasteride, promoting hair growth with topical minoxidil, and improving scalp mobility through exercises.

community Going off oral fin AND oral min when trying to conceive?

in Minoxidil 4 upvotes 1 month ago

A user is considering stopping oral finasteride and minoxidil while trying to conceive. Users suggest stopping finasteride to improve fertility but continuing minoxidil, as it is non-hormonal.

community DHT Isn't (Directly) Important

101 upvotes 1 year ago

Finasteride's potential side effects, especially sexual dysfunction, are discussed, with emphasis on hormonal balance between testosterone and estradiol. Users share experiences with finasteride, minoxidil, and dutasteride, highlighting the variability in side effects and the influence of mindset and lifestyle.

community Latest study on RU58841 done 19. August 2026.

25 upvotes 1 month ago

RU58841 can be absorbed systemically after topical application, but the study did not find immediate hormonal disruption. The study highlights the need for more research on long-term safety and effects of RU58841, as well as the importance of quality control in products from the grey market.

learn Osteopontin

signaling protein that, when suppressed, may grow hair by reducing inflammation and stem cell loss

much-hyped research compound targeting prolactin receptor in scalp

natural substance from Neem tree with medicinal and pesticidal properties

learn Overview

learn Lavender

Is lavender effective for hormonal hair loss or just stress? Lavender may help with stress-related hair loss but has limited evidence for hormonal hair loss.

learn procapil

Want to stop hormonal hair loss without touching your hormone levels? Procapil could block the enzyme doing the damage. Procapil's supplier describes it as inhibiting 5-alpha reductase at the scalp without changing hormone levels, but the published support is cell and animal work plus one small human study of a caffeine-plus-Procapil formula. It is a cosmetic ingredient, not an approved hair-loss treatment, and no trial has compared it with finasteride or minoxidil.

learn Baicapil

Losing hair from hormonal imbalance? Baicapil might block DHT without messing with your hormones. No published study shows that Baicapil blocks DHT — the only data on the ingredient itself is the manufacturer's own unpublished dossier, and the baicalin research behind the claim is cancer cell-line work in which the effect was explicitly independent of the androgen receptor.

learn Adenosine

Adenosine : Can it help if my hair loss is due to a hormonal imbalance like PCOS or DHT? Adenosine may help improve hair growth affected by hormonal imbalances like PCOS or DHT.

learn Bicalutamide

Why are some women using bicalutamide to fight hormonal hair loss? Bicalutamide blocks androgens, helping women combat hormonal hair loss effectively.
