research Ketoconazole-p Aminobenzoic Cocrystal Exhibits a Potent Anti-inflammatory Effect on the Skin of BALBc Mice
The new cocrystal KET-PABA is a more effective and safe anti-inflammatory treatment for skin conditions in mice.
research The antimycotic agent clotrimazole inhibits melanogenesis by accelerating ERK and PI3K-/Akt-mediated tyrosinase degradation
Clotrimazole, an antifungal cream, may safely reduce skin pigmentation by breaking down the enzyme needed for making melanin.
research Generating iPSCs with a High-Efficient, Non-Invasive Method—An Improved Way to Cultivate Keratinocytes from Plucked Hair for Reprogramming
The conclusion is that the new method makes collecting cells from plucked hair to create stem cells more efficient and less invasive.
research Strategies for High-Efficiency Mutation Using the CRISPR/Cas System
Improving CRISPR/Cas systems can make gene editing more efficient and precise.
research A Two-Stepped Culture Method for Efficient Production of Trichogenic Keratinocytes
A two-step method was created in 2015 to make more cells that help with hair growth, but they need to be combined with other cells for 4 days to actually form new hair.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Pyrilutamide isn’t failed at all.
Kintor is producing a cosmetic with KX826, starting at 0.5% concentration and moving to 1%. The 0.5% concentration wasn't as effective as minoxidil and finasteride, but the 1% concentration shows promise.
community Binding affinity does not equal potency for anti androgens? Comparing pyrilutimide to cb-03-01
Pyrilutimide and CB-03-01, two treatments for hair loss, have similar clinical trial results despite different binding affinities to androgen receptors. Factors other than binding affinity, like the time a drug stays bound to the receptor, may influence their effectiveness.
community Napkin math: are we using 100x more topical finasteride than necessary?
Topical finasteride concentrations are likely much higher than necessary for effective follicular DHT suppression, with current standards being 100-1000 times above the theoretical minimum. Lower concentrations (0.001-0.0025%) might still work locally while minimizing systemic exposure.
community FCE 28260: A Forgotten 5α-Reductase Inhibitor
FCE 28260 (PNU 156765), an under-explored 5α-reductase inhibitor, showcases promising results in research by Giudici et al., outperforming well-known treatments like Finasteride in reducing the conversion of testosterone to DHT. Its superior efficacy, demonstrated through lower IC50 values in both natural and human recombinant enzyme studies, suggests it could offer more effective management of DHT-related conditions. Additionally, its lower molecular weight hints at better potential for topical application, potentially offering advantages in treating conditions such as androgenic alopecia. Despite its potential, it has not advanced in development, possibly due to financial limitations, leaving its therapeutic prospects and side effect profile largely unexplored.
community New Approach to Ketoconazole or just waste of time?
The post discusses using 2% ketoconazole shampoo as a competitive androgen receptor antagonist for hair loss, applied for 1.5 hours daily. The user questions its effectiveness and potential benefits compared to finasteride and minoxidil.
