The conversation is about hairloss and the possibility of maintaining a full head of hair while using anabolic steroids. Some users believe that having good hairgenes and taking hairloss protocols can help prevent hairloss while on steroids.
TWIST-1 gene's role in hairloss and potential as a treatment target. Inhibiting TWIST-1 may prolong hair growth and reduce hair follicle sensitivity to DHT.
CRISPR treatments for blood disorders have been approved, leading to discussions about its potential for treating hairloss (AGA). A study showed that editing a gene related to DHT sensitivity could lead to hair regrowth, suggesting CRISPR may eventually be used for AGA, but it's expected to be expensive and not soon available.
Body hair is more resilient than scalp hair due to different gene expressions and DHT sensitivity. Treatments like minoxidil and finasteride are used for hairloss, but they have varying effects on body and scalp hair.
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.
A 27-year-old male experienced rapid hairloss after dengue fever, which activated a balding gene. The doctor suggested platelet-rich plasma treatment for hair regrowth.
Shah Rukh Khan's hair at 60 is attributed to genetics, with speculation about using finasteride, minoxidil, or hair transplants. Some believe it's due to good genes, while others think he might use treatments or have had hair procedures.
Blocking DHT is not a cure for hairloss; instead, altering how scalp follicles respond to DHT might be more effective. Current treatments like topical finasteride and minoxidil are temporary solutions, and future approaches may involve gene therapy and bioengineering to change follicle behavior.
The conversation discusses various theories of hairloss, including DHT sensitivity and genetic factors, with the user willing to use themselves for research due to having a hairlossgene but different hairloss patterns compared to their brothers. Specific treatments were not mentioned in the provided text.
A user discusses a company, Roots by Genetic Arts, that offers a genetic test for hairloss to create personalized treatments, and is curious about its legitimacy and the science behind it. The company tests 16 genes related to hairloss and compounds a topical treatment based on the results.
How people's hair is compared to their fathers' at the same age, with some users noting that they have inherited different genes from either parent and are using treatments such as finasteride for hairloss.
Potential treatments for hairloss, including Minoxidil, finasteride, RU58841 and various upcoming pharmaceuticals, gene editing and cloning. It is suggested that a cure, if found, would be highly profitable due to the large number of people affected by hairloss globally.
The conversation is about Robert Downey Jr. shaving his head, likely for a movie role, and comments on his appearance and strong genes. No specific hairloss treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, or RU58841 are mentioned.
Developing new hairloss treatments is challenging due to the complexity and cost of trials, and a permanent cure is unlikely soon. Current treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride are used continuously because hairloss is progressive, and future possibilities include gene editing and hair cloning.
Hair cloning is humorously discussed as always being 5-7 years away, with skepticism about its near-term availability. Gene editing to reactivate dormant follicles is suggested as a more likely solution within the next ten years.
A Silicon Valley-backed company aims to cure hairloss. Exciting advancements include mRNA therapies, gene editing, hair cloning, AR degraders, anti-androgens, cell-based rejuvenation, and AI-based drug discovery, with hopes for FDA approval of GT20029 within 10 years.
A compound called MTP3 from the Monoterpene family was found to be safe and highly effective at treating hairloss by inhibiting the FGF5 gene, but its identity is undisclosed for commercial reasons. No specific treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, or RU58841 were discussed.
L-arginine may worsen hairloss by potentially increasing testosterone levels, especially in those with a DHT-sensitive gene. Users discuss the effects of increased nitric oxide on hairloss and consider stopping supplements like zinc and l-arginine to see if hair conditions improve.
Blocking DHT is not a complete solution for hairloss; instead, altering the scalp's response to DHT may be more effective. Topical finasteride and minoxidil are current treatments, but future approaches may involve bioengineering, gene therapy, and inflammation control.
The conversation discusses how Caucasian men are more likely to experience hairloss due to genetic predisposition, with factors like the androgen receptor on the X chromosome playing a significant role. The user also expresses confusion about the evolutionary reasons for hairloss, especially in colder climates where it would seem beneficial to retain hair for warmth.
