research Alopecia areata: A multifactorial autoimmune condition
Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disease causing patchy hair loss, often with other autoimmune disorders, but its exact causes are unknown.
research Alopecia areata: Animal models illuminate autoimmune pathogenesis and novel immunotherapeutic strategies
Animal models have helped understand hair loss from alopecia areata and find new treatments.
research Controlled Delivery of T-box21 Small Interfering RNA Ameliorates Autoimmune Alopecia (Alopecia Areata) in a C3H/HeJ Mouse Model
Controlled delivery of specific RNA and IL-4 restored hair growth in mice with autoimmune alopecia.
research Case Series: Gene Expression Analysis in Canine Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada/Uveodermatologic Syndrome and Vitiligo Reveals Conserved Immunopathogenesis Pathways Between Dog and Human Autoimmune Pigmentary Disorders
The immune processes causing VKH and vitiligo are similar in dogs and humans.
research Epigallocatechin-3 Gallate Inhibits STAT-1/JAK2/IRF-1/HLA-DR/HLA-B and Reduces CD8 MKG2D Lymphocytes of Alopecia Areata Patients
EGCG may help treat alopecia areata by blocking certain immune responses and reducing specific harmful immune cells.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Why hasn’t anyone made a "DHT sponge" biologic yet???
The conversation discusses the potential for developing a biologic "DHT sponge" to neutralize DHT in the bloodstream as a treatment for hair loss, suggesting it could be more targeted and have fewer side effects than current treatments like finasteride and dutasteride. Concerns include the complexity, cost, and potential side effects of such a treatment, as well as skepticism about its feasibility and market interest.
community Derms are so useless, how did they even get to be in these positions with all these academic years when random internet dwellers know more than them?
The conversation is about frustration with dermatologists not effectively treating hair loss and the difficulty in obtaining prescriptions for Minoxidil and Finasteride. Some users suggest seeing specialists or general practitioners for hair loss treatment, while others share their own experiences with dermatologists and the importance of doing personal research.
community PYRILUTAMIDE PHASE 3 RESULTS : No statistical significance
The phase 3 trial results for Pyrilutamide showed no significant difference from the control treatment in increasing hair count, leading to the company halting its development. Users discussed their disappointment and skepticism about hair loss treatments, with some mentioning other treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, and RU58841.
community Dutasteride might be better for your hairline. Some people have more type 1 5AR activity in their scalp than others.
Dutasteride might be better for hairline due to varying levels of 5AR activity in scalps. Genetic tests can determine if finasteride is enough or if dutasteride is needed.
community How is this even possible that there is no cure till now
There is no permanent cure for hair loss; treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and hair transplants require ongoing use and are not universally effective. Genetic complexity and financial incentives for ongoing treatments hinder the development of a definitive cure.
