research Psoriasis patients demonstrate HLA-Cw*06:02 allele dosage-dependent T cell proliferation when treated with hair follicle-derived keratin 17 protein
This study found that in psoriasis patients, the K17 protein probably functions as an autoantigen, with the HLA-Cw*06:02 risk genotype strongly linked to the T cell response size.
research In response to the letter to the editor by Soha Ghanian et al. re our publication “Shorter androgen receptor polyQ alleles protect against life-threatening COVID-19 disease in European males”
This paper reports no new results; it addresses the effects of Dutasteride on testosterone and DHT in men, and discusses the implications for androgen deprivation and COVID-19 outcomes.
research Investigation of Vaspin and Visfatin -4689G/T Gene Polymorphisms in Alopecia Areata Patients
This study reported no significant association between vaspin and visfatin -4689G/T gene polymorphisms and alopecia areata in the Turkish population, although the visfatin GT genotype may pose a risk factor for the condition.
research Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase C677T mutation in patients with alopecia areata in Turkish population
This study found that the MTHFR gene C677T mutation appears to be a susceptibility factor for alopecia areata in the Turkish population.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity 2023 study: Novel Hemp extract causes great hair (allegedly better than fin/min) growth with little to no side effects. Photos included… Thoughts?
A novel hemp extract allegedly promotes better hair growth than minoxidil and finasteride, with minimal side effects, but the study's credibility is questioned due to potential bias and confounding factors like peppermint oil. Users express skepticism and suggest sticking with proven treatments like minoxidil and finasteride.
community He just doesn't want Finasteride 🙃
A man is experiencing hair thinning and is hesitant to use finasteride due to concerns about side effects, despite its effectiveness when combined with minoxidil. He currently uses PRP treatments and Saw Palmetto, but these are considered insufficient by others who suggest finasteride and minoxidil as necessary for preventing further hair loss.
community Veradermics VDPHL01: why isn’t anyone talking about it?
Veradermics' new hair loss treatment, VDPHL01, is likely a modified release oral minoxidil, which has received $75 million in funding for clinical trials. Despite skepticism about investing in a known treatment, some believe it could offer improved efficacy and reduced side effects.
community Chromosome 20’s balding effects and why fin likely isn’t working for some.
Finasteride is effective for DHT/AR-driven hair loss but not for chromosome 20-driven cases, where treatments like minoxidil, prostaglandin analogs, and low-level laser therapy may be more beneficial. Genetic testing can help determine the underlying cause of hair loss to tailor treatment effectively.
community Why Fin/Dut Isn't Working for You GPR133: a new hairloss mechanism + Steroid Hair Loss Deep Dive
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.

5 / 801 results- Dutasteride: Why don't some doctors prescribe it if it's stronger than finasteride? Some doctors avoid prescribing dutasteride due to its higher risk of side effects.
- Why can't I see my scalp micropigmentation after a week? Initial fading of scalp micropigmentation is normal and density improves with subsequent sessions.
- What happens if I don't have enough donor hair for a hair transplant? Body hair or beard hair can be used if scalp donor hair is insufficient.
- Ever wonder why your hair doesn’t grow back thick anymore? Maybe your scalp needs better blood flow: centella could help. There is no clinical trial of centella asiatica for hair loss and no study measuring scalp blood flow in people using it; the only hair-related evidence is a 2017 cell-culture study. Centella products are cosmetics that may soothe an irritated scalp, and the link between scalp circulation and pattern hair loss is itself unproven.
- What does Redensyl do that other natural ingredients don't? Redensyl uniquely targets hair follicle stem cells to reactivate hair growth.
