      in Research/Science  45 upvotes 2 weeks ago
      The conversation discusses the potential for developing a biologic "DHT sponge" to neutralize DHT in the bloodstream as a treatment for hair loss, suggesting it could be more targeted and have fewer side effects than current treatments like finasteride and dutasteride. Concerns include the complexity, cost, and potential side effects of such a treatment, as well as skepticism about its feasibility and market interest.

      in Research/Science  17 upvotes 2 weeks ago
      Hair loss is linked to cellular physiology and the IGF-1 to TGF-B1 ratio, not just androgen sensitivity. The theory lacks evidence, while finasteride and minoxidil are effective treatments.

      community Sometimes the hair loss was in our control the whole time

      The conversation discusses hair loss and the potential impact of diet and lifestyle changes, particularly increased protein intake, on hair health. The original poster shared their experience of improved hair appearance after weight loss and dietary changes, despite skepticism from others about lighting differences in photos and the effectiveness of diet alone without finasteride or minoxidil.
