research GLI2-specific Transcriptional Activation of the Bone Morphogenetic Protein/Activin Antagonist Follistatin in Human Epidermal Cells

39 citations , March 2008 in “Journal of biological chemistry/The Journal of biological chemistry”

This study found that GLI2 plays a key role in activating follistatin, an activin/BMP antagonist, in response to hedgehog signaling in human epidermal cells, with implications for hair follicle development and basal cell carcinoma.

research Transcriptional profiling in alopecia areata defines immune and cell cycle control related genes within disease-specific signatures

61 citations , September 2010 in “Genomics”

This study found distinct gene expression profiles in alopecia areata-affected skin, suggesting T-cell mediated immune responses and unique gene profiles between different stages of the disease.

research Skin-specific transgenic overexpression of ovine β-catenin in mice

2 citations , January 2023 in “Frontiers in Genetics”

This study found that overexpression of ovine β-catenin in transgenic mice increased hair follicle density by promoting the transition from catagen to anagen.

research Characterization of the Promoter Regions of Two Sheep Keratin-Associated Protein Genes for Hair Cortex-Specific Expression

14 citations , April 2016 in “PloS one”

This study found that the promoter region of the sheep KRTAP11-1 gene drives specific transcriptional activity in wool follicles, suggesting it may regulate hair keratinocyte specificity.

research The KRAB domain zinc finger protein, Zfp157, is expressed in multiple tissues during mouse embryogenesis and in specific cells in adult mammary gland and skin

8 citations , January 2013 in “genesis”

This study identified a new transcriptional repressor, Zfp157, as a target of Stat6 in the mammary gland, expressing in various tissues during mouse embryogenesis and adulthood.

community CRISPR Is Curing People Right Now. Genetic Hair Loss is Next?

112 upvotes 2 years ago

CRISPR shows promise for treating hair loss by targeting specific genes. Current treatments include Minoxidil and finasteride, but CRISPR could offer a more precise solution, though it is still expensive and in early stages.

community PP405 Won't Work Long Term: Hair Follicle Damage Due to Abuse of the ISR System

67 upvotes 11 months ago

PP405 may damage hair follicles if used long-term, suggesting cycling might be necessary. Combining it with finasteride could help maintain hair growth.

community We already know how to permanently fix hair loss. The science is done. The only thing missing is the funding to run one experiment.

in Technology 613 upvotes 4 months ago

A permanent hair loss solution could involve reprogramming hair follicles to resist DHT using mRNA and siRNA. However, high costs, safety concerns, and the pharmaceutical industry's preference for ongoing treatments over one-time cures are major obstacles, with finasteride and minoxidil remaining standard treatments.

community Does everything that reduces DHT block 5ar?

46 upvotes 2 years ago

Finasteride is the most effective treatment for reducing DHT and addressing hair loss compared to fish oil and saw palmetto. Topical treatments like RU58841 and minoxidil are also discussed, but finasteride remains the most effective option.

community Why Fin/Dut Isn't Working for You GPR133: a new hairloss mechanism + Steroid Hair Loss Deep Dive

6 upvotes 2 months ago

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.
