5 / 423 resultscommunity I believe CRISPR-on & CRISPR-off is an ultimate CURE for baldness, unlike Hair Cloning or hair loss treatments.
The conversation discusses CRISPR-on & CRISPR-off as a potential cure for baldness, contrasting it with hair cloning and other treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841. It also mentions the potential of mRNA for gene expression control and the prioritization of gene editing for severe genetic conditions.
community How promising is th RCH-01/Replicel treatment? Is there any new info that suggests it will be as successful as it claims? What other promising treatments are close?
The conversation is about the potential of the RCH-01/Replicel hair loss treatment and its lack of updates since 2013, with the user expressing hope for its success and considering using Minoxidil, finasteride, and dermarolling in the meantime. Other treatments mentioned as promising are Breezula and Tsuji.
community Verteporfin and Microneedling
Clinical studies by Dr. Barghouthi and Dr. Bloxham indicate that Verteporfin, when used with FUE and FUT hair transplantation methods, shows promise in hair follicle regeneration and minimal scarring due to its ability to inhibit Yes-associated protein (YAP). Microneedling at depths of 3-3.5mm, combined with Verteporfin, could potentially reactivate dormant follicles, although the optimal dosage and application method are still under investigation. Concerns remain about the DHT sensitivity of regenerated follicles, highlighting the need for further research to optimize trauma levels and Verteporfin concentrations to achieve effective and scar-free hair regeneration.
community 22 years since the last major development
The conversation discusses the lack of significant advancements in hair loss treatments since the introduction of finasteride 22 years ago, with many expressing frustration over the failure of new projects and skepticism about future developments. Some users mention hair transplants and other potential alternatives like Alfatradiol and Fluridil, but acknowledge finasteride's dominance in the market due to its effectiveness and affordability.
community The ending of alopecia? Corticosterone inhibits GAS6 to govern hair follicle stem-cell quiescence
Corticosterone inhibits GAS6, affecting hair follicle stem-cell activity, with potential implications for stress-related hair loss. Ashwagandha and Vitamin K are suggested for reducing cortisol, but their effectiveness is debated.
