research Alopecia: unapproved treatments or indications
Many treatments for hair loss lack proper testing and FDA approval, so their effectiveness is uncertain.
research A Nonredundant Human Protein Chip for Antibody Screening and Serum Profiling
The technology can help diagnose and subtype autoimmune diseases by identifying specific autoantibodies.
research Development and evaluation of antisense shRNA-encoding plasmid loaded solid lipid nanoparticles against 5-α reductase activity
The new particle system could be a promising treatment for diseases related to the 5-α reductase enzyme.
research T-cell “induced-self” MHC class I/peptide complexes may enable “de novo” tolerance induction to neo-antigens occurring outside of the thymus
Hair follicles may help teach the immune system to tolerate new self-antigens, but this can sometimes cause hair loss.
research Antisense oligonucleotide targeting fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR)-1 stimulates cellular activity of hair follicles in anin vitroorgan culture system
Targeting FGFR-1 with antisense oligonucleotides may help treat baldness by increasing hair follicle activity.

High sugar diets may worsen hair loss by increasing 5α-reductase activity and androgen levels, especially in women with PCOS. A low sugar diet might reduce scalp DHT levels, similar to finasteride, but genetics also significantly influence hair loss.
community If You Have DUPA, PLEASE READ THIS: Everyone Should Be Scalp Biopsied
Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
community 25F and have been losing my hair for 10 years. Been to doctors, no issues with thyroid or hormones. No history of hair loss in my family. Wtf do I do?
A 25-year-old woman has been losing hair for 10 years despite normal thyroid, hormone levels, and B12 supplementation. She has used Minoxidil with limited success and is considering hair transplants, Propecia, or shaving her head and wearing wigs.
community Physician here AMA – 30M oral Fin 1-1.25 mg daily
Hair loss treatments, specifically the use of finasteride, microneedling and potentially oral minoxidil. People discussed their experiences with finasteride, its effects on sexual behaviors, as well as potential solutions such as tadalafil or using other growth factor signal peptides for hope in curing male pattern baldness.
community The pessimism about the Crisp Cas 9 is excessive
CRISPR Cas9 could potentially treat baldness by targeting specific genes in hair follicles without affecting other body functions. There is optimism about its future use, despite ethical concerns and the current reliance on treatments like minoxidil and finasteride.
