community CRISPR Is Curing People Right Now. Genetic Hair Loss is Next?

in Technology 107 upvotes 1 month ago

CRISPR shows promise for treating hair loss by targeting specific genes. Current treatments include Minoxidil and finasteride, but CRISPR could offer a more precise solution, though it is still expensive and in early stages.

community This sub in a nutshell when it comes to medicine. Oral Minoxidil isn’t that bad

in Chat 446 upvotes 1 year ago

The post and conversation are about the use of oral Minoxidil (Min), Finasteride (Fin), and RU58841 for hair loss treatment, with mixed opinions on their safety and effectiveness.

community People need to start accepting that only medical therapy (Fin/Dut) can save your hair in the long run.

in Treatment 112 upvotes 10 months ago

Minoxidil can regrow hair but doesn't address the underlying issue of DHT, leading to continued hair loss. Users discuss their experiences with finasteride and dutasteride, mentioning side effects, personal outcomes, and alternatives like microdosing topical finasteride.

community Stem Cells May Get Rid Of Balding FOREVER!

in Technology 7 upvotes 4 months ago

Stem cell therapy shows promise in treating hair loss by mimicking DHT-resistant cells from the back of the head. Traditional treatments like finasteride are also discussed, but stem cells could potentially offer a more permanent solution.

community TWIST-1 and the cure: Is it really that easy?

in Research/Science 283 upvotes 2 years ago

TWIST-1 gene's role in hair loss and potential as a treatment target. Inhibiting TWIST-1 may prolong hair growth and reduce hair follicle sensitivity to DHT.
