research Molecular Genetics of Androgen Insensitivity
Mutations in the androgen receptor gene cause different levels of androgen insensitivity, making it hard to create simple tests for the condition.
research Clinical, Pathological, and Molecular Features of Classical and L-Type Atypical BSE in Goats
Both classical and L-type atypical BSE from cattle can infect goats with different incubation times, and tests can distinguish between the two strains.
research Update on the Genetics of Androgenetic Alopecia, Female Pattern Hair Loss, and Alopecia Areata: Implications for Molecular Diagnostic Testing
Genetic factors affect hair loss, and molecular testing may help predict, diagnose, and treat it.
research Screening for Diabetes in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Women with PCOS should have an oral glucose tolerance test for effective diabetes screening.
research Assessment of Serum Levels of Antigliadin Antibodies (IgG and IgA) in Patients with Alopecia Areata and Their Relation to Severity of the Disease
Higher antigliadin antibodies are linked to more severe alopecia areata, suggesting screening for celiac disease in these patients.

In this conversation, 4990 discussed various treatments for hair loss, including oral minoxidil, PRP, transplan, Jak inhibitors, Dutasteride, Finasteride, Olumiant, Ketoconazole, RU58841, microneedling, baricitinib, and CCCA. They recommended scalp biopsies in unclear cases of DUPA, twice weekly to twice daily shampooing for topical minoxidil users, and two sessions spaced one month apart with follow up at month three to determine the effectiveness of PRP treatment.
community Protac degradation of the androgen receptor in mice shows good efficacy and no systemic drug could be found
The efficacy of degrading the androgen receptor through dermal application in DP cells, a delivery system for topical drugs that involves dissolving microneedles, and rosemary oil as an alternative anti-androgen.
community How did you get over the fear mongering of Fin/Dut?
The conversation is about overcoming fear of finasteride/dutasteride for hair loss treatment. Users suggest starting with a small supply, noting side effects are rare and reversible, and emphasize personal comfort and confidence.
community KX-826: Long-Term Safety Results are out!
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.
community Molecular mechanisms triggered by Micronedlling -- Intersting Publication to better understand Dermarolling
This post and conversation are about the molecular mechanisms triggered by microneedling, specifically its effects on inflammation, tissue remodeling, epithelial proliferation, differentiation, and collagen synthesis. The discussion highlights the potential benefits of microneedling for hair loss treatment.
