ISID0197 - 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.

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 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.

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.

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

The user "Bishiop" shared a progress update on their hair density and strength after adding Minoxidil to their routine. They are also using Finasteride and microneedling. They hope to fill in their hairline by the end of the summer.
