5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Why hasn’t anyone made a "DHT sponge" biologic yet???
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.
community Why do patients drop back to baseline/pre-treatment soon after quitting Finasteride?
Stopping finasteride often leads to rapid hair loss, returning to a genetic baseline, as the drug temporarily halts hair loss and promotes regrowth. The discussion explores the complexity of hair loss, suggesting that factors beyond DHT, such as genetics and scalp conditions, may play a role.
community If we can clone a sheep why we can't cure baldness till now
Hair loss treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, and stem cell therapies exist, but a complete cure is hindered by genetic complexity and market dynamics. Cloning hair follicles is considered a potential solution, but it's currently not feasible.
community Wtf have we been doing for the last 30 years
Hair loss treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and dutasteride work but have side effects. A permanent cure is still not available due to the complexity of hair loss and limited investment.
community Pelage Pharmaceutical Raises 120 million to continue PP405 Research. Link inside.
Pelage Pharmaceutical raised $120 million to continue research on PP405, a promising hair loss treatment that showed a 20% increase in hair density in 31% of men during a Phase 2a trial. The treatment was well-tolerated, with no systemic absorption, and Phase 3 trials are planned for 2026.
