research FGF signaling for hair cycle resting phase alleviates radiation alopecia

1 citations , September 2016 in “Journal of Dermatological Science”

This study found that FGF18 signaling helps protect hair follicles from radiation damage by maintaining the resting phase and supporting stem cell survival, potentially reducing radiation-induced hair loss.

research Radiation- and Chemotherapy-Induced Permanent Alopecia: Case Series

14 citations , January 2013 in “Journal of Cutaneous Medicine and Surgery”

This study describes permanent scalp alopecia in patients receiving chemotherapy, radiation, or both, and highlights the need for further research to identify causative factors and mitigation strategies.

research Dermoscopic Findings in Radiation-Induced Alopecia after Angioembolization

13 citations , January 2014 in “Dermatology”

This study reported that alopecic lesions after radiation exposure during angioembolization share dermoscopic features with alopecia areata, highlighting the importance of accurate patient history to avoid misdiagnosis.

research Cicatricial alopecia secondary to radiation therapy: case report and review of the literature.

37 citations , February 2008 in “PubMed”

This article reviews radiation-induced cicatricial alopecia and suggests that controlling radiation dose depth could potentially prevent this condition.

research Combined Corticosteroid and Minoxidil Therapy for Early Recovery in Radiation-Induced Alopecia: A Case Report

June 2025 in “Clinical Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology”

In this case report, a 42-year-old man with radiation-induced alopecia following endovascular embolization for a cerebral arteriovenous fistula experienced complete hair regrowth after three months of treatment with intramuscular corticosteroids and topical 5% minoxidil, suggesting a novel therapeutic approach for faster recovery.

community Efficacy and Tolerability of N-Acetyl-Cysteine for Treatment of The Early-onset Androgenetic Alopecia in Men

26 upvotes 4 years ago

N-Acetyl-Cysteine (NAC) was found to improve hair parameters in men with early-onset androgenetic alopecia, showing increased terminal hair count and decreased vellus hair count, with good tolerability. NAC, used alone or with minoxidil, may help due to its antioxidant properties, though its effectiveness can vary among individuals.

community Evolution theory: AGA is your body trying to reduce the risk of prostate cancer by exposing your scalp to more UV

in Research/Science 9 months ago

Androgenic alopecia (AGA) might have evolved to reduce prostate cancer risk by increasing UV exposure to the scalp, but this theory is debated. Treatments like minoxidil and finasteride are used for AGA, though the exact causes and evolutionary reasons for hair loss are unclear.

Compressed part of research of theory of androgenic/anabolitic balance. AGA h-responders analytic. Theory of physio-metabolitic method of anti AGA treatment

community Compressed part of research of theory of androgenic/anabolitic balance. AGA h-responders analytic. Theory of physio-metabolitic method of anti AGA treatment

in Research 865 upvotes 1 year ago

The treatment for androgenetic alopecia involves using finasteride and minoxidil with intense exercise and cold exposure to boost metabolism and reduce androgenic effects, potentially leading to hair regrowth. This approach may activate biological pathways for improved hair and overall health.

community Scalp Sunburns cause permanent hair loss. UPF hats protect you. Watch if you use Tretinoin on the scalp

in Technology 2 years ago

Sunburns on the scalp can cause permanent hair loss, especially for those using Tretinoin or Tacrolimus. Wearing UPF 50+ hats is recommended to protect against UV radiation.

community If You Have DUPA, PLEASE READ THIS: Everyone Should Be Scalp Biopsied

in Research 830 upvotes 2 years ago

Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.

learn Alopecia Areata

autoimmune disorder causing patchy hair loss

learn Alfatradiol

Alfatradiol: Can it help if my hair loss is linked to DHT? The one randomised trial of topical alfatradiol — in 103 women — found hair thickness and density essentially unchanged after six months, while minoxidil improved both; its authors credited alfatradiol with slowing hair loss rather than regrowing hair. Laboratory work supports a local effect on follicular DHT, but no controlled trial in men appears to have been published.
Alfatradiol: What does a form of estrogen have to do with hair loss in men? Alfatradiol (17α-estradiol) is a prescription topical hormone, licensed for androgenetic alopecia in Germany but not FDA-approved. The controlled trial evidence is in women, where it produced stabilisation rather than regrowth and was outperformed by minoxidil; no comparable placebo-controlled trial in men appears to have been published.

learn Sulforaphane

compound from cruciferous vegetables has some mild effects on DHT

learn Vitamin D

Are topical Vitamin D treatments useful for alopecia? Topical Vitamin D treatments may help some individuals with alopecia.

learn GHK-Cu

Heard alopecia areata leaves scar-like spots? Some peptides are helping those areas regrow hair. Alopecia areata patches usually still have living follicles. Peptides are being studied as a possible add-on, but the evidence is small and early. See a dermatologist for treatment.

learn TDM-105795

What types of alopecia or hair loss conditions might TDM-105795 be designed to target based on current research? TDM-105795 may target non-scarring alopecia, particularly androgenetic alopecia.
