Glossary Immune Markers

specific molecules indicating immune cell types and activity

Immune markers, also known as immunological markers, are specific molecules or proteins found on the surface of cells that help identify and differentiate between various types of immune cells. These markers are crucial for diagnosing and monitoring immune-related conditions, such as autoimmune diseases and infections, by providing insights into the immune system's activity and health.

community Dutasteride thins eyebrows and facial hair but doesn't stop scalp loss.

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 37 upvotes 1 year ago

Dutasteride may not effectively stop scalp hair loss and can cause thinning of facial and body hair, including eyebrows. Users suggest considering other causes like autoimmune conditions or vitamin deficiencies and exploring treatments like finasteride or minoxidil.

community Ray Peat: Testosterone Isn’t the Culprit, Prolactin and Cortisol Drive Hair Loss (2016)

in Research/Science 110 upvotes 11 months ago

Prolactin and cortisol are identified as key factors in hair loss, with stress hormones impacting hair shedding. Finasteride and minoxidil are effective treatments, while DHT's role and individual sensitivity are significant factors.

community Minox 3mg, Finasteride 1.2mg (6 month perfect adherence)

370 upvotes 5 months ago

Significant hair improvement was achieved using 3mg Minoxidil and 1.2mg Finasteride over six months, with no side effects, leading to reconsideration of a hair transplant. A detailed skincare routine, including tretinoin and SPF, also improved skin appearance.

community Telogen Effluvium/Chronic TE and immune-related hair loss advice

5 upvotes 8 years ago

Chronic Telogen Effluvium can be managed by avoiding inflammatory foods, exercising, staying hydrated, and using supplements like krill oil, saw palmetto, or licorice root. Minoxidil is discouraged due to its cost and potential for worsening hair loss, while castor oil is recommended to strengthen hair roots and reduce shedding.
