research The increasing incidence of frontal fibrosing alopecia. In search of triggering factors
This study reports that variable environmental factors, including dietary habits, may contribute to the increasing incidence and diverse clinical presentations of frontal fibrosing alopecia.
research Early embryonic exposure of freshwater gastropods to pharmaceutical 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors results in a surprising open-coiled “banana-shaped” shell
This study found that inhibiting 5α-reductase in molluscs provokes a specific shell morphology, suggesting gastropods might have unique 5α-reductase substrates absent in vertebrates.
research Fadrozole and finasteride exposures modulate sex steroid- and thyroid hormone-related gene expression in Silurana (Xenopus) tropicalis early larval development
The researchers reported that during early embryogenesis and larval development in Silurana tropicalis, inhibiting steroidogenic enzymes cyp19 and srd5beta affects genes related to thyroid and reproductive systems.
research A microscopy-based small molecule screen in primary neurons reveals neuroprotective properties of the FDA-approved anti-viral drug Elvitegravir
This study reports that Elvitegravir, a drug currently approved for other uses, shows potential as a neuro- and mitoprotective agent by attenuating mitochondrial damage caused by NMDA receptors in primary mouse cortical neurons.

5 / 94 resultscommunity Evolution theory: AGA is your body trying to reduce the risk of prostate cancer by exposing your scalp to more UV
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.
community This is what some balding dudes are like
Some people avoid finasteride due to side effects but engage in unhealthy habits. Minoxidil and finasteride are common hair loss treatments, with varied side effect experiences.
community Kintor stealing pictures from a hair transplant clinic to promote their failed product (KX826, Pyrilutamide)
Kintor is accused of using fake pictures to promote their product, Pyrilutamide (KX826), which failed Phase 3 trials. Users express disappointment and note similar false advertising has occurred with finasteride and minoxidil.
community Most Underrated Hack for Hair Loss is Water
Filtered shower heads may improve scalp and hair health but do not affect male pattern baldness (MPB). Genetics and factors like DHT and scalp tension are more significant in hair loss.
community Finasteride and “anti-aging” effects
Finasteride may help users look younger by suppressing DHT, affecting skin and hair. Users also emphasize skincare, sunscreen, and lifestyle for maintaining a youthful appearance.
