research Androgenic Alopecia: Cross-Talk Between Cell Signal Transduction Pathways
Hair loss in Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is due to altered cell sensitivity to hormones, not increased hormone levels. Hair growth periods shorten over time, causing hair to become thinner and shorter. This is linked to miscommunication between cell pathways in hair follicles. There's also a change in gene expression related to blood vessels and cell growth in balding hair follicles. The exact molecular causes of AGA are still unclear.

community M18 Is it smart to start with minox only?
An 18-year-old is considering starting minoxidil for hair loss due to a receding hairline but is hesitant about using finasteride due to age and lack of health insurance. A suggestion was made to use topical finasteride and minoxidil, along with lifestyle changes like exercise and cold showers.
community Progress: From June 2022 (7 months of min + fin) to now (1 year) — I’ve lost so much density in this period and I have no idea why. I was getting pretty good resultup until that point. Is there anything else I can try? I’ve tried min, fin, tretinoin, micro needling, and castor oil. I feel hopeless.
The user lost hair density after 7 months of using minoxidil and finasteride and is seeking advice on other treatments after trying tretinoin, microneedling, and castor oil. Suggestions include checking for scalp conditions like eczema or psoriasis, changing minoxidil brands, and questioning hair dryer use and finasteride dosage.
community Physio-metabolic method of treating androgenic alopecia. Cold receptors. The relationship between DHT, cold receptors, minoxidil and antiandrogens.
A method for treating androgenic alopecia using minoxidil, antiandrogens, exercise, and cold exposure to promote hair growth. Environmental factors and lifestyle changes, like diet and exercise, can improve treatment effectiveness.
community Physio-metabolic method of treating androgenic alopecia. Cold receptors. The relationship between DHT, cold receptors, minoxidil and antiandrogens
Treating androgenic alopecia with minoxidil, finasteride, and antiandrogens, alongside exercise, cryotherapy, and natural substances to stimulate cold receptors for better hair growth. The method focuses on enhancing treatment effectiveness by considering environmental and behavioral factors and the role of cold receptors and muscle stress.
