197 Quantitative analysis of hair loss in mice utilizing imageJ improves the efficacy evaluation of alopecia areata induction in the C3H/HeJ mouse model

The post discusses using ImageJ software to objectively track hair regrowth progress. The user is treating Androgen alopecia with dutasteride and minoxidil.

A user created a web app called TrichoMetrics to track hair loss using photos and metrics like density and thinning. The app supports tracking treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride, with features for setting baselines, comparing progress, and logging treatment adherence.

Hair loss treatments are being tested on mice, with methods like minoxidil and stem cell therapy showing promising results. However, human trials are still years away, leading to humorous frustration about mice benefiting first.

A user recommends using a microscope to assess hair density and track hair loss progress, finding it useful for evaluating treatment effectiveness, particularly with dutasteride and minoxidil. They advise against obsessing over hair loss and emphasize focusing on other meaningful life aspects.

Scientists discover SCUBE3 molecule for potential baldness cure. Mice used in research for hair growth signaling.

HMI-115, a potential treatment for hair loss that can reverse miniaturization and make individual hairs thicker, as evidenced by data from macaques given the treatment and one subject in the phase I trial.
