research In Ovo Injection of CHIR-99021 Promotes Feather Follicle Development via Modulating the Wnt Signaling Pathway and Transcriptome in Goose Embryos (Anser cygnoides)
This study suggests that an in ovo injection of CHIR-99021 promoted feather growth and follicle development in goose embryos by activating the Wnt signaling pathway.
research Modulation of Hair Growth with Small Molecule Agonists of the Hedgehog Signaling Pathway
This study found that a topical hedgehog agonist can stimulate hair growth by promoting the transition from the resting to growth phase of the hair cycle in adult mouse skin.
research Signaling pathways and targeted therapeutic strategies for polycystic ovary syndrome
This review investigates molecular mechanisms behind PCOS pathogenesis and discusses potential therapies, but reports no new clinical results.
research 5alpha-reductase inhibitors dampen L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia via normalization of dopamine D1-receptor signaling pathway and D1-D3 receptor interaction
This study found that both finasteride and dutasteride significantly reduced L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia in a rat model of Parkinson's disease, with dutasteride showing greater effectiveness at lower doses.

5 / 756 resultscommunity The mechanism of androgenic alopecia
DHT may inhibit hair growth by affecting mitochondrial function, leading to hair follicle miniaturization. Treatments like minoxidil and PP405 may promote hair growth by altering metabolic pathways, potentially counteracting DHT's effects.
community Tretinoin for some men(not all) can cause non-telogen effluvium hair loss
Tretinoin can cause non-telogen hair loss in some men by inducing catagen-like changes in hair follicles and through retinoid toxicity, especially when used with minoxidil. Some users report hair loss even when using retinoids on the face, while others experience benefits when combined with treatments like finasteride and minoxidil.
community 6 months on minoxidil and finastreride
A 24-year-old experienced improved hair growth using 5% minoxidil, 1 mg finasteride, and dermastamping, but faced side effects like low libido and mild erectile dysfunction. They plan to reduce finasteride dosage after full results and may consider a hair transplant if thinning recurs.
community There’s nothing better on the horizon [RANT]
There is skepticism about new hair loss treatments, with the belief that current options like minoxidil, finasteride, and hair transplants are the best available. Concerns are raised about the systemic side effects of androgen-related treatments, even those marketed as topical, and doubts about the effectiveness of emerging treatments like clascoterone.
community No fearmongering /just facts on yesterday someone posting on eye issues
Finasteride and dutasteride may not significantly impact meibomian gland function since these glands do not rely on DHT. Some users report dry eyes and other side effects from finasteride, but these may be influenced by other factors or medications.
