research Androgenic Alopecia: Cross-Talk Between Cell Signal Transduction Pathways
Hair loss in Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is due to altered cell sensitivity to hormones, not increased hormone levels. Hair growth periods shorten over time, causing hair to become thinner and shorter. This is linked to miscommunication between cell pathways in hair follicles. There's also a change in gene expression related to blood vessels and cell growth in balding hair follicles. The exact molecular causes of AGA are still unclear.

5 / 648 resultscommunity Why does Pelage PP405 receive so much attention, while Eirion ET-02 seems to be almost forgotten?
ET-02 is seen as promising for addressing hair loss and graying, but PP405 is more advanced in development and has better publicity. Some users plan to use both treatments alongside minoxidil and dutasteride.
community Hair loss causes are still a myth.
The conversation discusses the complexity of hair loss causes, suggesting that DHT sensitivity alone doesn't fully explain it. Treatments mentioned include finasteride and dutasteride.
community What’s needed to mix ru and k&b solution?
Mixing RU58841 with a solution for hair loss treatment, with suggestions to use propylene glycol and ethanol instead of k&b solution due to scalp irritation. Recommendations include using ketoconazole shampoo for itchiness and considering oral minoxidil if topical causes irritation.
community Is it possible that dutasteride won’t make you depressedd if finasteride did?
The conversation discusses whether dutasteride might cause less depression than finasteride for hair loss treatment, with some users suggesting it could due to different mechanisms of action or molecular size, while others express skepticism or share personal experiences with these medications.
community Occipitalis Muscle Tension Theory
Scalp tension from the occipitalis muscle is theorized to contribute to hair loss, but most believe DHT and genetics are the main causes. Treatments like finasteride and minoxidil are considered more effective than addressing scalp tension.
