research 27 Preclinical ex vivo and in vivo evidence supporting selective inhibition of tyrosine kinase 2-dependent, IL-12-mediated signaling as a novel pharmacological strategy for alopecia areata management
Blocking TYK2 might be a new way to treat hair loss from alopecia areata.
research 705 Particulate matter induces inflammatory response in human outer root sheath cells via oxidative stress-dependent MAPK and JAK-STAT signaling pathways
Particulate matter causes inflammation in hair cells, potentially harming hair growth.
research Tannic Acid Accelerates Cutaneous Wound Healing in Rats Via Activation of the ERK 1/2 Signaling Pathways
Tannic acid helps wounds heal faster in rats by activating certain cell signals and reducing inflammation.
research A ‘hot’ new twist to hair biology – involvement of vanilloid receptor‐1 signaling in human hair growth control
VR1 signaling can inhibit hair growth by affecting cell processes and increasing hair growth inhibitors.
research Advances in molecular pathogenesis of hidradenitis suppurativa: Dysregulated keratins and ECM signaling
Recent findings suggest that genetic factors, immune system issues, and skin cell defects might contribute to the development of hidradenitis suppurativa.

HMI-115, a newly discovered hair loss treatment that could potentially be effective for those with diffuse thinning and telogen effluvium. It is based on prolactin receptor antagonist signaling and has already undergone Phase I trials in women, with potential commercialization by 2027.
community Why I believe PFS is not a "real" condition (and what I believe it is instead)
The post argues that Post-Finasteride Syndrome (PFS) is likely not real and suggests symptoms may be due to mental health issues or the nocebo effect. The conversation includes personal experiences with finasteride, highlighting both positive and negative effects, and emphasizes consulting doctors and using reliable sources for medication.
community Making your own RT1640 in China
RT1640, a combination of cyclosporin A, minoxidil, and RT175, is discussed as a potential treatment for hair regrowth and repigmentation. The unique formulation aims to enhance hair follicle growth and restore hair pigment without the negative side effects of immunosuppressants.
community Reducing Fibrosis in Hair Loss: Topical Pirfenidone
Topical pirfenidone is highlighted as an effective anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic treatment for hair loss, particularly in addressing perifollicular fibrosis, which may enhance the effectiveness of standard treatments like finasteride and minoxidil. The user also uses calcipotriol, MCT oil, ciclopirox shampoo, and benzoyl peroxide shampoo as part of their regimen.
community Hair Loss “Cure” for Inflammation: Topical Roflumilast
Topical roflumilast is effective for reducing inflammation in various scalp conditions like seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis, and eczema, but not proven to stop scarring alopecia. Alternatives like apremilast and Vtama are also discussed for their anti-inflammatory benefits.
