research Reduction of Radiation-Induced Hair Loss by Topical Application of Radioprotectors

1 citations , January 1994 in “Drug Development and Industrial Pharmacy”

This study suggests that certain combinations of topical radioprotectors and vehicles can reduce radiation-induced hair loss in mice, with effectiveness varying by radiation dose and vehicle type.

research Topical RT1640 treatment effectively reverses gray hair and stem cell loss in a mouse model of radiation‐induced canities

7 citations , July 2020 in “Pigment cell & melanoma research”

In this study, RT1640 was found to promote hair pigment system regeneration and expand melanocyte stem cell pools in a mouse model, suggesting potential applications for aging-related hair disorders.

research Drug induced hair loss.

4 citations , March 1989 in “The BMJ”

Naproxen is not the cause of hair loss in a child; it's due to a toxic event with expected hair regrowth.

Mobilizing Transit-Amplifying Cell-Derived Ectopic Progenitors Prevents Hair Loss from Chemotherapy or Radiation Therapy

research Data from Mobilizing Transit-Amplifying Cell-Derived Ectopic Progenitors Prevents Hair Loss from Chemotherapy or Radiation Therapy

March 2023

This study suggests that targeting the activation of transit-amplifying cell-derived progenitor cells may help prevent hair loss from chemotherapy and radiotherapy by promoting hair follicle regeneration.

research The preventive effect of vitamin D3 on radiation-induced hair toxicity in a rat model

14 citations , November 2005 in “Life sciences”

This study indicates that vitamin D3 administration may protect rat hair follicles from radiation-induced damage, as evidenced by maintained follicle numbers and increased Vitamin D receptor activity in treated skin.

community Sunlight: Does it Stimulate Hair Growth or Hair Loss?

in Research/Science 64 upvotes 2 years ago

The conversation discusses whether sunlight exposure affects hair growth or loss, with mixed anecdotes and theories but no clear consensus. Some suggest moderate sunlight can benefit hair by providing vitamin D, while others doubt its effectiveness compared to treatments like Minoxidil or finasteride.

community Why do we have head hair in first place if we evolved to start losing it in some cases as soon as puberty hits

140 upvotes 11 months ago

Hair loss is influenced by genetics and sensitivity to hormones like DHT. Treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride are commonly used, and baldness persists as it doesn't affect reproductive success.

community New molecule PP405 vs exercise

36 upvotes 1 year ago

PP405 targets hair follicle stem cells differently than exercise-induced lactate, suggesting exercise alone may not replicate its benefits. Minoxidil and finasteride are recommended alongside exercise for hair regrowth, with additional suggestions like spicy food and infrared exposure.

community Other factors involved then DHT/5aR

5 upvotes 3 months ago

DHT is the primary cause of hair loss, but factors like diet, stress, and lifestyle can influence its severity. Treatments like finasteride and dutasteride target DHT, while maintaining overall health is also important.

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.

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 RU58841

Will I lose my hair if I stop using RU58841? (Spoiler: I might.) There is no published human trial of stopping RU58841; community members commonly report shedding within weeks to months, and androgen biology suggests miniaturization would resume once the topical anti-androgen is withdrawn.

learn vitamin A

Are you unknowingly overdoing vitamin A? It could be speeding up hair loss linked to hormones like DHT. Sustained vitamin A intake above the tolerable upper limit (3,000 mcg/day of retinol for adults) is linked in case reports to diffuse hair shedding; the claim that it amplifies DHT-driven hair loss has no published human evidence behind it.
