research An Efficient Method for Eccrine Gland Isolation from Human Scalp
Scientists developed a way to isolate sweat glands from the scalp during hair transplants, keeping them alive for 6 days for research and cosmetic uses.
research pH Stimulus-Responsive Hybrid Nanoparticles: A System Designed for Follicular Delivery of Brazilian Plant-Derived 5-Alpha-Reductase Enzyme Inhibitors
New nanoparticles deliver plant extracts to hair follicles to treat conditions like hair loss and acne.
research Smoothened Antagonists for Hair Inhibition
Two new compounds were found to effectively reduce hair growth in mice.
research Potential of Delonix Polymeric Nanoparticles Containing Isotretinoin for Acne Treatment
Delonix polymeric nanoparticles with isotretinoin effectively treat acne by targeting hair follicles and reducing skin irritation.
research Minoxidil Stimulates Mouse Vibrissae Follicles in Organ Culture

5 / 78 resultscommunity Fresh off the press: Dutasteride may cause chronic infertility
Dutasteride may cause chronic infertility by reducing semen volume and motility, with concerns about irreversible prostate fibrosis. Users consider switching to finasteride or using treatments like minoxidil and microneedling, weighing hair preservation against fertility.
community Ketoconazole shampoo has worked great for me. Those looking to take preventative measures should consider it.
Ketoconazole shampoo helps reduce hair shedding and improve thickness for some, but can cause dryness or irritation. Its effectiveness compared to finasteride or minoxidil varies among users.
community A better treatment would be a localized 5ar inhibitor that breaks down when it enters blood or leaves hair follicle
The conversation discusses the need for a localized 5-alpha reductase inhibitor that only affects the scalp without systemic side effects, similar to pyrilutamide's approach. Current treatments like topical liposomal finasteride and dutasteride are mentioned, but concerns about their systemic effects and lack of research are highlighted.
community The closest thing to a cure before hair cloning or genetic via?
The conversation discusses using finasteride or dutasteride to reduce DHT, CosmeRNA to target androgen receptors, and Minoxidil as a vasodilator for hair growth. The regimen aims to maintain hair by addressing DHT-AR ratio and continuous Minoxidil use.
community Flakey scalp due to minoxidil?
Minoxidil can cause scalp flaking and dryness, often due to its alcohol content. Switching to foam minoxidil or using antifungal shampoos like Ketoconazole may help reduce these side effects.
