community Debunking Androgenetic Theory (Hair Transplants)

in Research/Science 25 upvotes 2 years ago

The post discusses a theory that hair regrowth after transplant is due to the angiogenesis process (new blood vessels forming), not because the transplanted hair is unaffected by DHT. The responses highlight the established belief in 'donor dominance' (the importance of the hair's origin in transplantation) and skepticism about the new theory.

community Prolactin the Cause of Hair Loss? ABS-201 the Cure?

29 upvotes 2 months ago

Prolactin may contribute to hair loss, but targeting its receptor won't cure androgenetic alopecia. ABS-201 could be a useful alternative or adjuvant therapy, similar to JAK inhibitors, but not more effective than HMI-115.

community Fun thought experiment about halting hair loss permamently

59 upvotes 2 years ago

A user proposed genetically engineering scalp stem cells to stop androgen receptors from causing hair loss. Others discussed the feasibility, existing research, and potential issues with this approach, including targeting the correct cells and unintended effects.

community I'm quitting finasteride after almost 3 years of daily use

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 166 upvotes 11 months ago

A 23-year-old stopped using finasteride due to sexual side effects after three years. The discussion covers experiences with finasteride, dutasteride, and other treatments, noting varied side effects and effectiveness.

community Anyone here have a lot of knowledge on hair follicle stem cells and progenitor cells for PP405?

in Chat 4 upvotes 8 months ago

Hair follicle stem cells remain in bald individuals, but progenitor cells do not, raising questions about hair regrowth claims by Pelage. PP405 is discussed as a potential treatment, with skepticism about its effectiveness compared to existing treatments like Minoxidil and Finasteride.

Are exosomes applied as a serum, an injection, or combined with other hair treatments? Exosomes are typically injected directly or combined with other hair treatments.

learn Verteporfin

Is Verteporfin used as a topical treatment, injection, or oral medication for hair loss? Verteporfin is an intravenous drug approved only for an eye condition; it is not approved for hair loss in any form. In the few published hair reports it was injected into the scalp alongside surgical wounding — unverified case reports of one and two patients, not trial evidence.
