    regulates cell signaling pathways affecting hair follicle development

    Secreted Frizzled-Related Protein 2 (SFRP2) is a protein that plays a role in regulating cell signaling pathways, particularly the Wnt signaling pathway, which is crucial for cell growth, differentiation, and development. In the context of hair biology, SFRP2 can influence hair follicle development and cycling, potentially impacting conditions like alopecia.

      community No, Finasteride as a treatment for MPB was not an "accident"

      in Research/Science  105 upvotes   3 years ago
      Finasteride was intentionally developed to treat BPH and later approved for male pattern baldness (MPB) due to its 5AR inhibition effects. The delay in MPB approval was due to concerns about off-label use for female hirsutism and the prioritization of treating a more debilitating condition.

      community Minoxidil can prevent hair follicle miniaturization!?

      in Minoxidil  6 upvotes   3 years ago
      Minoxidil can prevent hair follicle miniaturization, not just stimulate hair growth. Finasteride and dutasteride don't work for everyone, suggesting DHT may not be the sole cause of hair loss; hair loss could be due to multiple factors, including autoimmune conditions.
