research A Study to Assess the Incidence and Severity of Self-Reported Side Effects of Chemotherapy among the Patients in a Day Care Chemotherapy Unit in a Cancer Hospital Guwahati, Assam

November 2025 in “International Journal of Science and Research (IJSR)”

The researchers reported that among 100 patients undergoing chemotherapy, the most common self-reported side effects were lack of energy, altered taste, and loss of appetite, with a significant association between age and severity of side effects but no significant link to gender.

research Polyamine Oxidase Expression Is Downregulated by 17β-Estradiol via Estrogen Receptor 2 in Human MCF-7 Breast Cancer Cells

8 citations , July 2022 in “International Journal of Molecular Sciences”

This study found that in estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer cells, 17β-estradiol repressed polyamine oxidase transcription by interacting with AP-1 sites on its promoter.

research CircERCC6 Positively Regulates the Induced Activation of SHF Stem Cells in Cashmere Goats via the miR-412-3p/BNC2 Axis in an m6A-Dependent Manner

January 2024 in “Animals”

In this study, researchers found that circERCC6, a circular RNA identified in cashmere goat hair follicles, helps activate secondary hair follicle stem cells, with its role dependent on specific m6A modifications that interact with miR-412-3p to regulate BNC2 expression.

research Versican expression by dermal papilla-regenerated hair follicles - a promising tool for hair-regrowth products

5 citations , May 2004 in “International Journal of Cosmetic Science”

This study demonstrated that the large molecule versican plays a critical role in hair induction in dermal papilla cells, with potential implications for developing new hair growth treatments.

community Topical dutasteride significantly outperforms oral finasteride

in Research/Science 65 upvotes 11 months ago

Topical dutasteride 0.05% is reported to outperform oral finasteride with minimal side effects, but concerns about study bias exist due to company funding. Some users report mixed results with topical dutasteride, noting issues with skin penetration and systemic absorption.

community Hair regrowth without drugs (99% natural) 25M

528 upvotes 3 months ago

A user shared their experience with hair regrowth using supplements like NAC and DIM, and briefly using minoxidil with microneedling. They reported some improvement in hair density, but the community questioned the effectiveness compared to traditional treatments like finasteride.

community Minoxidil is a 5ar inhibitor according to research

150 upvotes 11 months ago

Minoxidil may inhibit androgen receptors and affect hormonal pathways, potentially explaining its effectiveness in treating androgenetic alopecia (AGA). Users discuss its varying effectiveness on scalp versus facial hair and note fewer side effects with topical use compared to oral.

community Has anyone find a way to stop/limit ru58841 to go systematic ?

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 4 upvotes 1 year ago

RU58841 is a strong non-steroidal antiandrogen for hair loss but may cause cardiovascular issues in some users. Alternatives like Pyrilutamide and Breezula are suggested due to better safety profiles and lower systemic risks.

community Dutasteride SAVES your hair follicles: MAJOR BS on people who say it destroyed their hair permanently.

158 upvotes 2 years ago

The conversation discusses the effectiveness of hair loss treatments, specifically finasteride and dutasteride. The conclusion is that dutasteride significantly reduces DHT levels and may be more effective than finasteride for long-term hair retention, with some users reporting personal experiences and side effects.

learn Setipiprant

What side effects or limitations have been reported with Setipiprant use in hair loss research? In the one published hair-loss trial (DuBois 2021, 169 men, 24 weeks), setipiprant produced no significant hair regrowth over placebo. Treatment-related side effects — mostly mild headaches, stomach upset and fatigue — were reported in about a quarter of the setipiprant group versus just over twelve percent on placebo, and no serious events were attributed to the drug. It is an unapproved, experimental compound with no long-term safety data.
