This review discusses the structural and functional advances in understanding sulfotransferases and sulfatases, highlighting new insights into enzyme mechanisms and inactivation by clinically relevant aryl sulfamates, but provides no new experimental results.
research Role of cholesterol sulfate in epidermal structure and function: Lessons from X-linked ichthyosis
This paper discusses X-linked ichthyosis and its genetic causes, focusing on biochemical pathways and their role in epidermal differentiation and barrier function, but it presents no new clinical findings.
research Steroid Sulfatase Deficiency and Androgen Activation Before and After Puberty
This study suggests that patients with STSD show a different pattern in androgen activation compared to healthy controls, potentially due to increased 5α-reductase activity and absent prepubertal serum DHEA surge.

Some people may not respond to topical minoxidil due to low SULT1A1 enzyme activity, but oral minoxidil can be effective. Tretinoin may enhance minoxidil's effectiveness, and some users prefer oral minoxidil despite side effects.
community Minoxidil with Tretinoin together
Combining tretinoin with minoxidil may improve absorption by exfoliating the scalp, but results vary. Users suggest starting with low frequency to avoid irritation, and some recommend additional treatments like finasteride or microneedling.
community Why is minoxidil the “regrowth stimulant” and finasteride “the maintenance”, when official studies show more growth on finasteride ?
Finasteride is more effective for long-term hair maintenance by addressing the root cause of hair loss, while minoxidil acts as a growth stimulant with faster visible results. Combining both treatments is optimal, with oral minoxidil often showing better results for some individuals.
community Considering Switch to Oral Finasteride 1mg & Minoxidil 3mg/Day: Seeking Advice on Efficacy and Side Effects
The user plans to switch from topical to oral finasteride (1mg/day) and minoxidil (3mg/day) due to unsatisfactory results with topical treatments. They seek advice on the effectiveness, potential side effects, and the timing for considering a hair transplant, with recommendations to monitor health metrics like blood pressure and conduct thorough bloodwork before starting.
community Hair loss research is a money grab
Hair loss is linked to DHT, with treatments like finasteride and minoxidil being common but not definitive. Economic interests influence research, and there is potential for new treatments like PP405 and RU58841.
