Treatments for hair loss, such as using AR receptor blockers and degraders, to see if follicles can regenerate in the long term. The conversation also discusses how hair transplants could be a potential solution.
PP405 is a topical gel being tested for hair regrowth in adults with androgenetic alopecia. Volunteers aged 18-55 are needed for a 16-week trial in several US locations.
The conversation is about someone who initially had positive results with Minoxidil for hair loss, lost those gains due to a hospital stay, and is now not seeing the same results upon resuming treatment. They plan to add microneedling and/or tretinoin to their regimen and are seeking success stories from others who did not respond to Minoxidil alone.
A user is seeking a trusted supplier for RU58841 in the UK, expressing doubts about their current source, rudirect, and considering Anagenic and receptorchem. They are asking for recommendations for other suppliers.
A 42-year-old user shares progress on hair loss treatment using finasteride, topical minoxidil, and dermarolling. They seek advice on obtaining Minoxidil pills in Europe.
RepliCel has purchased Trichoscience, and they have a video about hair multiplication. The conversation also mentions treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
Scientists have grown natural-looking hair from stem cells, potentially revolutionizing hair growth treatments. Concerns include cost, DHT resistance, and the need for future procedures.
The user did not respond to minoxidil and is considering using tretinoin to improve results. They also explored finasteride, microneedling, adapalene, red light therapy, and oral minoxidil as potential treatments.
The conversation discusses the potential use of thermal paper receipts, which contain estrogen, as a treatment for hair loss. Participants humorously debate its effectiveness compared to established treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride.
Transplanting mice skin to humans is not feasible due to immune rejection, but some suggest genetic modification or immune suppression could make it possible. Xenograft hair transplants are discouraged.
Doctors are testing verteporfin topically for healing and potential regeneration after transplants. The user is asking how it is formulated for topical use, such as if it's mixed with a carrier gel.
Mixing RU58841 with cetosomal minoxidil is discussed due to scalp irritation from ethanol PG vehicles. A mixture of the two turned bright pink when left to dry.
PP405's phase 2a trial results were presented, focusing on safety and pharmacokinetics, with a future meeting planned to share the full dataset. The trial includes a randomized controlled portion and an open-label extension, with no indication of phase 2B completion.
The conversation discusses hair loss treatments, specifically Regenera stem cells and exosomes from 'Cellgenic' umbilical cord donors. The user has been using topical minoxidil 5% and 0.001% estradiol for a year without seeing effects, and another user mentions the importance of microneedling.
High frequency ultrasonography and HR-MRI can help identify hair shedding causes like inflammation and fibrosis. The conversation discusses the potential of using these technologies to evaluate treatments like Verteporfin for hair regeneration.
A human trial of verteporfin, a potential treatment for hair loss, with some users noting potential improvements in scarring and overall healing compared to control areas.
Researchers are working on regenerating hair follicles using stem cells, but a cure for baldness is still years away. Current treatments mentioned include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
The conversation discusses the potential of a new hair loss treatment, GT20029, which targets androgen receptors in the scalp and is in phase 1 trials in China. Users express hope that this treatment will be more effective than current options like Minoxidil and Finasteride.
The conversation discusses how different factors can stimulate type 1 and type 2 isoforms of 5-alpha reductase, which are enzymes linked to hair loss. Specific treatments mentioned include oral Dutasteride and topical Finasteride.
A user asked if anyone who didn't respond to minoxidil saw improvement after adding tretinoin. One person replied they saw hair growth on their hairline after using a combination of minoxidil, finasteride, and tretinoin, suggesting tretinoin may have made them respond to minoxidil.
Chinese researchers have successfully created hair follicles in vitro, potentially offering unlimited hair for transplantation and a cure for hair loss. They plan to test these follicles in vivo on human scalps.
PP405 shows promise for hair regrowth by manipulating stem cell characteristics and lactate dehydrogenase, with Phase 2a trials pending. Google Ventures' $15M investment suggests confidence, but results and market availability remain uncertain.
Microneedling with exosomes is being considered for hair regrowth, but concerns exist about their effectiveness and safety, especially since exosomes degrade quickly and lack FDA approval. The user is seeking alternatives for non-responders to minoxidil and dutasteride, as exosomes may not provide additional benefits.
Applying Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) topically may improve skin and potentially promote scalp health and hair growth, especially after microneedling. The user shares their positive experience with EGF and provides a product link.
A breakthrough in hair follicle cultivation using induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) has been achieved, producing large hair follicles suitable for transplantation. Clinical trials for this hair multiplication technology are planned in partnership with Yinguan Biotechnology.
