research Alopecia areata possibly induced by autoimmune reaction in a patient with human T‐cell lymphotropic virus‐1‐associated myelopathy

6 citations , May 2013 in “The Journal of Dermatology”

This case study suggests that autoimmunity involving cytotoxic CD8+ T cells may link alopecia areata and human T-cell lymphotropic virus-1-associated myelopathy in adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma patients.

research CAQ Corner: Basic concepts of transplant immunology

May 2022 in “Liver transplantation”

This source does not report original research findings but reviews the mechanisms and challenges of immune response and immunosuppressive management in liver transplantation.

research Nail involvement in frontal fibrosing alopecia

17 citations , January 2015 in “International Journal of Trichology”

This case report suggests that frontal fibrosing alopecia with nail involvement may be associated with lichen planus and improved with oral dutasteride due to an inflammatory reaction related to androgenetic alopecia.

research Rare and misdiagnosed entity fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution: A case report

March 2023 in “Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology”

This case report illustrates that fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution may be misdiagnosed as androgenetic alopecia due to similar hair loss patterns, but distinctive trichoscopic and histopathologic features help differentiate it.

research Fibrosing Alopecia in a Pattern Distribution

November 2021 in “CRC Press eBooks”

This article reviews the characteristics and presentation of fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution, a form of scarring alopecia similar to androgenetic alopecia and lichen planopilaris, but provides no new clinical findings.

community So does oral minoxidil age your skin or not

43 upvotes 2 years ago

Oral minoxidil may cause dry skin and dark eye bags but doesn't significantly age the skin. Topical minoxidil is toxic to cats, and some users prefer finasteride.

community Prolactin the Cause of Hair Loss? ABS-201 the Cure?

29 upvotes 2 months ago

Prolactin may contribute to hair loss, but targeting its receptor won't cure androgenetic alopecia. ABS-201 could be a useful alternative or adjuvant therapy, similar to JAK inhibitors, but not more effective than HMI-115.

community Dutasteride: More Than a DHT Reducer – A Potential Androgen Receptor Inhibitor?

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 31 upvotes 1 year ago

Dutasteride may inhibit androgen receptors in addition to reducing DHT, potentially explaining its effectiveness over finasteride for hair loss. Concerns about its impact on muscle growth are debated, with some suggesting no significant effects.

community One year on finasteride has reversed some aging

in Chat 198 upvotes 11 months ago

Finasteride and minoxidil use resulted in a more youthful appearance and improved skin. There is debate about their effects on collagen and skin aging, with no solid evidence supporting significant changes due to finasteride.

The conversation discusses the potential of long-chain unsaturated fatty acids, like oleic and linoleic acid, as an additional treatment for hair loss, which may inhibit the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone to DHT and promote hair growth. Users humorously suggest using oils topically and discuss other hair loss treatments, but the main focus is on the science behind fatty acids and their role in hair health.
