community How ET-02 Works. Also no proof that it's better than Minoxidil. At least for now. in Research/Science 42 upvotes 7 months ago ET-02, a PAI-1 inhibitor, is not proven to be more effective than Minoxidil for hair loss. Other treatments like finasteride, dutasteride, PP405, and AMP-303 are also discussed, focusing on cellular senescence and oxidative stress.
