research Pathogenesis of pili annulati
The study on the pathogenesis of pili annulati involved examining plucked scalp hairs and hair roots using various microscopic techniques. It was found that the unique shiny appearance of the hair was due to cortical empty spaces. Transmission electron microscopy revealed small vacuoles, dense bodies, and abnormal spaces in the cytoplasm of differentiating cortical cells, along with large trichohyaline granules. The keratinized cortex of affected hairs had more residual SH groups than controls, suggesting a disorder of protein metabolism. This disorder likely involved partial dysfunction of cytoplasmic ribosomes, leading to inadequate cortical keratin formation.

5 / 85 resultscommunity Have people with aggressive balding genetics genuinely had any results after applying any natural remedies ie:rosemary oil,coconut oil,Onion Juice etc
Natural remedies like rosemary oil, coconut oil, and onion juice are generally seen as less effective compared to medical treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and microneedling. Some users believe natural oils can help, but modern medicine is often more reliable.
community What an amazing time to be alive
The post discusses a user's experience with hair loss treatments, specifically topical finasteride, minoxidil, and micro-needling, and their plan to switch to oral versions and add Dutasteride. The conversation includes various responses, with some users sharing their own experiences and side effects, and others expressing desire for a more permanent hair loss solution.
community Finasteride, 6 mo, my experience (and my personal take)
A user discussed using finasteride for six months to treat hair loss, noting minimal side effects and uncertain hair regrowth. They mentioned not using minoxidil and considering future options like hair transplants.
community Why do so many people trash on finasteride?
Finasteride is effective for hair regrowth, especially on the crown, but can cause side effects like reduced libido and erectile dysfunction in some users. Opinions are mixed, with some reporting positive results without side effects and others experiencing significant issues.
community Compressed part of research of theory of androgenic/anabolitic balance. AGA h-responders analytic. Theory of physio-metabolitic method of anti AGA treatment
The treatment for androgenetic alopecia involves using finasteride and minoxidil with intense exercise and cold exposure to boost metabolism and reduce androgenic effects, potentially leading to hair regrowth. This approach may activate biological pathways for improved hair and overall health.
