research 1049 Novel strategy to promote hair follicle growth and stem cell activation in human male scalp skin: Targeting prolactin receptor with ABS-201

July 2026 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

ABS-201 may effectively promote hair growth in men by targeting the prolactin receptor.

Analysis of Mice Skin Distribution Using MALDI-MSI After Subcutaneous Injections of a New Potent Inhibitor of Human Hair Growth, FOL-005

research 201 Analysis of mice skin distribution using MALDI-MSI after subcutaneous injections of a new potent novel inhibitor of human hair growth, FOL-005

August 2016 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

This study observed that the osteopontin-derived peptide FOL-005 inhibited hair growth in human scalp skin models, contrary to its hair growth promotion in mice, supporting further clinical testing for excessive hair growth treatment.

Using MALDI-MSI Analysis to Study Distribution of FOL-005, a Potent, Novel Inhibitor of Human Hair Growth, After Subcutaneous Injection in Mice

research 695 Using MALDI-MSI analysis to study distribution of FOL-005, a potent, novel inhibitor of human hair growth, after subcutaneous injection in mice

April 2016 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

This study found that a newly developed peptide, FOL-005, significantly inhibited hair growth and counteracted minoxidil's effects in organ-cultured human male scalp skin and mouse models, without apparent toxicity.

research Azasteroids as inhibitors of testosterone 5α-reductase in mammalian skin

34 citations , February 1993 in “Journal of steroid biochemistry and molecular biology/The Journal of steroid biochemistry and molecular biology”

This study found that 4-MA is a potent inhibitor of testosterone 5α-reductase in human tissues, promising potential for treating androgen-dependent skin conditions like male pattern baldness.

research New topical antiandrogenic formulations can stimulate hair growth in human bald scalp grafted onto mice

37 citations , January 2000 in “International Journal of Pharmaceutics”

In a study using human scalp skin grafts on SCID mice, topical flutamide and finasteride significantly improved hair growth in male-pattern baldness compared to placebo, with flutamide showing superior results to finasteride.

community Could male-pattern baldness have a secondary photobiological function? The Solar Window Hypothesis

11 upvotes 3 weeks ago

Male-pattern baldness might increase UVB exposure on the scalp, potentially affecting vitamin D and skeletal health. The hypothesis is debated, with some seeing it as a minor benefit in specific contexts.

community Fin for 7 months and my sclap is now transparent

in Progress Pictures 16 upvotes 6 months ago

A 24-year-old male has been using finasteride for 7 months and noticed thinning hair, especially when wet, and is concerned about the effectiveness of the treatment. Suggestions include continuing finasteride, considering minoxidil, and possibly trying micro-needling.

community Natural sweetener Stevia found to turbocharge male pattern baldness treatment: Mice given Stevia patch had 18 times better absorption of minoxidil and hair coverage of 67.5% in bald areas after just 35 days.

1741 upvotes 8 months ago

Stevia microneedles increased minoxidil absorption and hair growth in mice. The conversation humorously questions the applicability of these results to humans.

community A stress hormone has been found to signal through skin cells to repress the activation of hair-follicle stem cells in mice

30 upvotes 5 years ago

Stress can lead to hair loss by affecting hair-follicle stem cells, and this loss is harder to recover from if one has male pattern baldness (MPB). Treatments like finasteride and minoxidil are used to address hair loss, but stress-related hair loss differs from androgenic alopecia.

community DHT Itch is real. The connection between Acne and Male Pattern Baldness shows this

in Research/Science 64 upvotes 3 years ago

The conversation discusses the link between seborrheic dermatitis, acne, and male pattern baldness, suggesting that DHT may cause both skin conditions and hair loss. Treatments mentioned include RU58841, finasteride, dutasteride, minoxidil, Nizoral shampoo, and other topical anti-androgens.
