5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Average tressless user after taking oral minoxidil
The conversation is about hair loss and the use of minoxidil (Minoxidil) and finasteride (Fin) as treatments. The conclusion is that some users have seen success in maintaining their hair with minoxidil, but there are varying opinions on the effectiveness of the treatments.
community Woolly mice but no hair growth treatment for humans yet 🤷♂️
Hair regrowth treatments are effective in mice but not yet available for humans. The discussion humorously highlights frustration over this disparity and mentions a project to genetically modify elephants to resemble mammoths.
community Now that hair loss in mice is solved, can they move on to people?
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.
community Is it possible to transplant mice skin into human body?
Transplanting mice skin to humans is not feasible due to immune rejection, but some suggest genetic modification or immune suppression could make it possible. Xenograft hair transplants are discouraged.
community Shoutout to the mice that tested our Minoxidil
The conversation humorously acknowledges the role of mice in testing Minoxidil for hair loss while also discussing the ethics of animal testing. Some users argue against animal testing, citing cruelty, while others defend its necessity for medical advancements.
