      community Prolactin the Cause of Hair Loss? ABS-201 the Cure?

       29 upvotes 2 months ago
      Prolactin may contribute to hair loss, but targeting its receptor won't cure androgenetic alopecia. ABS-201 could be a useful alternative or adjuvant therapy, similar to JAK inhibitors, but not more effective than HMI-115.

       82 upvotes 3 years ago
      The conversation is about the role of testosterone in hair loss and the effectiveness of different treatments. The conclusion is that DHT is the main culprit for hair loss, and finasteride has been proven to work long-term in maintaining and regrowing hair.

      learn HMI-115

      much-hyped research compound targeting prolactin receptor in scalp
      • What is HMI-115 and how is it different from common treatments like minoxidil? HMI-115 (BAY 1158061) is an investigational monoclonal antibody that blocks the prolactin receptor, not a GnRH antagonist. It is given by injection in trials and is not approved anywhere; minoxidil is an approved topical vasodilator with decades of published data, while HMI-115's hair-loss trial results remain unpublished.
