research Changes in the Hydrophobic Proteins in Response to Biotin Administration in Serum of Infant Patients with Alopecia as Assessed by the Protein Micro-Sequencing Method

4 citations , January 2015 in “Journal of microbial & biochemical technology”

In this study, the researchers observed that biotin administration in biotin-deficient children with alopecia eliminated certain membrane proteins from their blood, suggesting that biotin might regulate these proteins' expression.

research Membrane androgen receptors may mediate androgen reinforcement

37 citations , February 2010 in “Psychoneuroendocrinology”

This study found that nuclear androgen receptors are not necessary for androgen self-administration, suggesting that plasma membrane receptors might be involved.

research SUPEROXIDE DISMUTASE LOADED NIOSOMES DELIVERY TO HAIR FOLLICLES: PERMEATION THROUGH SYNTHETIC MEMBRANE AND GUINEA PIG SKIN

2 citations , August 2019 in “International Journal of Applied Pharmaceutics”

This study explored the use of SOD-loaded niosomes as carriers to enhance the delivery of superoxide dismutase into hair follicles on guinea pig skin, finding that niosomes improved SOD penetration and preservation compared to free SOD, suggesting their potential as effective delivery vehicles.

research Concentration homeostasis and elements in hair and dried serum observed by X-ray fluorescence analysis using synchrotron radiation

5 citations , July 2014 in “Journal of X-Ray Science and Technology”

This study suggests that hair analysis could serve as a diagnostic tool for detecting calcium channel activity, which influences hair calcium levels and may indicate calcium deficiency or related disease states.

research 4. Bullous/Mucous Membrane

July 2003 in “Journal of Cutaneous Medicine and Surgery”

High blood pressure drugs often cause skin lupus, stopping the drug usually helps. A vaccine helps prevent genital herpes and HPV-16. More frequent light therapy clears psoriasis faster. No link was found between low iron and chronic hair loss.

community Taiwan scientists used naturally derived fatty acids serum to regrow hairs (in mice <.<)

96 upvotes 11 months ago

A serum with oleic and palmitoleic acids shows promise for hair regrowth in mice, but its effectiveness in humans is unproven. Minoxidil and finasteride remain the recommended treatments.

community Why is dutasteride's volume of distribution so much bigger than finasteride? Is it more lipophilic and crosses barriers better?

23 upvotes 1 year ago

Dutasteride has a larger volume of distribution than finasteride due to its lipophilic nature, allowing it to concentrate in hydrophobic areas and making it difficult to excrete. A user experiencing hair loss has been using oral finasteride for 10 months with minimal regrowth and is considering switching to dutasteride or adding oral minoxidil.

community My Fluridil/Eucapil 2% experience 30 days.

4 upvotes 5 years ago

The user experienced side effects like fatigue and aches after using Eucapil 2% for hair loss, suspecting it went systemic. Other users debated whether Eucapil can cause such effects, with some suggesting it might affect testosterone levels.

community Why Fin/Dut Isn't Working for You GPR133: a new hairloss mechanism + Steroid Hair Loss Deep Dive

6 upvotes 2 months ago

Hair loss may be linked to the GPR133 receptor, independent of the androgen receptor pathway. Treatments like finasteride, dutasteride, minoxidil, RU58841, and KX-826 show varying results, with hair loss persisting due to high testosterone and GPR133's role.

community My DHT levels have increased after taking 0.25mg Fin for 47 days!

186 upvotes 1 year ago

A user experienced increased hair shedding and unchanged DHT levels after taking 0.25mg of finasteride for 47 days, leading them to increase the dose to 0.5mg. Others discussed varying experiences with finasteride, minoxidil, and the importance of measuring scalp DHT.

learn Hyaluronic Acid

What’s the difference between using hyaluronic acid as a serum on the scalp versus taking it as a supplement? A serum sits on the scalp surface. Oral hyaluronic acid has small trials on facial wrinkles, none on the scalp or hair.

learn Baicapil

Could a daily serum with Baicapil help revive dormant hair follicles before it’s too late? There is no independent evidence that Baicapil revives dormant follicles; the only human data are the supplier's own unpublished test. A dermatologist can tell whether follicles are still active and which treatments have evidence.

learn Bimatoprost

Can a lash-growth serum like bimatoprost actually work for your scalp? Bimatoprost (Latisse) is FDA-approved only for eyelashes, not the scalp. In the larger of two Allergan phase 2 scalp trials, every bimatoprost formulation gave smaller hair-count gains than minoxidil 5%; the results were posted to ClinicalTrials.gov but never published in a journal, and scalp use remains off-label and experimental.

learn Exosomes

Are exosomes applied as a serum, an injection, or combined with other hair treatments? Clinics offer exosomes as scalp injections, as serums applied after microneedling, or combined with PRP. No exosome product is FDA-approved, and no reliable evidence shows that any of these methods works.

learn Rapamycin

Are there any visible side effects when using rapamycin cream or serum on the scalp? No study has tested rapamycin on the scalp; in facial trials skin reactions were common (64% vs 29% placebo; Aitken et al. 2023, PMID 37463422).
