research Functional analysis of vitamin D receptor (VDR) using adenovirus vector

4 citations , February 2023 in “Journal of steroid biochemistry and molecular biology/The Journal of steroid biochemistry and molecular biology”

In this study, only Vdr-knockout rats showed both abnormal skin formation and alopecia, which may provide insights into vitamin D receptor function and its role in the hair growth cycle.

research Ligand-Independent Actions of the Vitamin D Receptor Maintain Hair Follicle Homeostasis

144 citations , December 2004 in “Molecular Endocrinology”

This study found that the effects of the vitamin D receptor on hair follicle cycling in mice are independent of its ability to bind a hormone, with specific domain mutations influencing hair regrowth outcomes.

research A Novel Point Mutation in the Ligand-Binding Domain (LBD) of the Human Glucocorticoid Receptor (hGR) Causing Generalized Glucocorticoid Resistance: The Importance of the C Terminus of hGR LBD in Conferring Transactivational Activity

91 citations , May 2005 in “The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism”

In this study, a novel mutation in the glucocorticoid receptor gene was identified in a young woman, impairing glucocorticoid signaling and leading to generalized glucocorticoid resistance.

research The vitamin D receptor functions as a transcription regulator in the absence of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3

37 citations , August 2015 in “The Journal of Steroid Biochemistry and Molecular Biology”

This study found that in a mouse model with hereditary 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D resistant rickets, a mutant vitamin D receptor lacking hormone-binding ability could restore normal hair cycling and affect parathyroid hormone regulation.

research A Humanized Mouse Model of Hereditary 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D–Resistant Rickets Without Alopecia

25 citations , August 2014 in “Endocrinology”

This study created a humanized mouse model of hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets that lacks alopecia, indicating the mutant receptor's potential to explore the syndrome's characteristics beyond vitamin D binding.

community Making your own RT1640 in China

4 years ago

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 Amplifica: Hope or Cope? A Review of Their Pipeline

9 upvotes 1 month ago

Amplifica's AMP-303 showed a modest increase in hair growth, but results were inconsistent and potentially misleading. Hyaluronic acid and osteopontin are being explored for hair growth, with varying effects on different hair types and conditions.

community What if DHT is not the vilan.

13 upvotes 5 years ago

Hair loss may be influenced more by inflammation, microbiome imbalances, and gut health than DHT. Treatments discussed include minoxidil, finasteride, RU58841, fecal microbiota transplants, and JAK inhibitors.

community Study: There is 70x Higher Unconjugated DHT in Feces Compared To Blood Levels in Young Adults - Gut Microbiota Manages DHT Recycling and Metabolism

in Research/Science 194 upvotes 1 year ago

Gut microbiota significantly influences androgen metabolism, impacting hair loss treatments like finasteride. Probiotics, dietary changes, and fecal microbiota transplants may help manage DHT levels and improve hair health.

community KX-826: Long-Term Safety Results are out!

159 upvotes 1 year ago

KX-826 initially improves hair growth but declines after 24 weeks, with mild itching as a side effect. Combining it with minoxidil and finasteride may improve results, but long-term effectiveness is uncertain.
