community Prevention of age-related beard graying in humans by the topical application of Eriodictyon angustifolium extract

5 upvotes 4 years ago

Topical application of Eriodictyon angustifolium extract can prevent and reverse age-related beard graying and darken gray hair by increasing melanin production. Sterubin, a component of the extract, also promotes hair pigmentation and protects cells from DNA damage.

community We already know how to permanently fix hair loss. The science is done. The only thing missing is the funding to run one experiment.

in Technology 613 upvotes 4 months ago

A permanent hair loss solution could involve reprogramming hair follicles to resist DHT using mRNA and siRNA. However, high costs, safety concerns, and the pharmaceutical industry's preference for ongoing treatments over one-time cures are major obstacles, with finasteride and minoxidil remaining standard treatments.

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.

learn Hair Transplant

Hair transplantation moves DHT-resistant follicles from a donor area (back and sides of the scalp) into thinning or bald areas. The transplanted hair is generally permanent, though surrounding native hair can keep thinning.

Where do they take hair from for a hair transplant? Transplant hair is usually taken from the back and sides of the scalp, where hair resists pattern loss; clinics say body hair can be used when scalp donor supply is short.
Can hair be taken from other parts of the body for hair transplantation? Body hair can be used for transplantation but is generally a secondary option.
Where does donor hair for a hair transplant come from? Donor hair for transplants typically comes from the back and sides of the scalp.
