research Does dry skin indicate defective epidermal permeability barrier?
Dry skin does not mean the skin's protective barrier is broken; it's often due to a lack of natural skin moisturizers.
research Obesity resistance of the stearoyl-CoA desaturase-deficient (scd1 -/-) mouse results from disruption of the epidermal lipid barrier and adaptive thermoregulation
Deleting the scd1 gene in mice prevents obesity by disrupting skin lipids and improving heat regulation.
research Dysregulation of Grainyhead-like 3 expression causes widespread developmental defects
Not having enough or having too much of the protein Grainyhead-like 3 leads to various developmental problems.
research Cornification

5 / 283 resultscommunity I honestly think Dutasteride at 2.5mg could be the ultimate cure for hair loss.
Dutasteride at 2.5mg is considered a potential hair loss cure due to its DHT-blocking ability, but there are concerns about side effects and individual responses. Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841 are also discussed, with mixed opinions on their effectiveness and safety.
community Possible transgenerational effects of finasteride use on male offspring? (STUDY)
Finasteride may affect male offspring's fertility and hormonal balance, with debates on whether to discontinue use before conception. Some users report no issues, while others highlight the high doses used in rat studies.
community Study: You can safely conceive on Dutasteride
Dutasteride is considered safe for conception, with semen concentrations being too low to cause harm. Users discuss switching between dutasteride and finasteride, with some experiencing side effects like acne and heart issues, and advice is given to maintain a consistent treatment regimen.
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 Why does the same hormone grow your beard and destroy your hairline?
DHT promotes beard growth but causes scalp hair loss due to inflammation and fibrosis. Treatments like finasteride and minoxidil help with hormonal signals and blood flow but don't address underlying inflammation.
