Balding scalps have more androgen receptors, leading to increased TGF-beta, which causes blood vessel loss and hair follicle miniaturization. Blocking androgen signaling and TGF-beta may help prevent hair loss.
The conversation is about a user preparing to join the ABS-201 clinical trial for hair loss treatment, which involves a prolactin inhibitor. The user plans to update others on their progress if enrolled.
GT20029 showed significant hair growth and safety in phase II trials, with no adverse sexual events. Users are hopeful but concerned about future costs and systemic effects.
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.
The conversation discusses hair regrowth progress from Norwood scale 4 to 2.5 over a year using daily 8.5-9% RU58841, topical Dutasteride 0.1%, RU58841 5% 1.5 times a week, and daily caffeine redensyl scalp treatment.
Stem cell-related treatments and drugs like RCGD423 and WAY are being tested for hair growth. Clinics are conducting tests on patients who haven't had previous treatments.
The user experienced significant hair regrowth in 5 weeks using Minoxidil, Finasteride, Dutasteride, biotin, collagen, derma stamping, and a mixture of oils, leading others to label them a "hyper responder." Some users advised caution with microneedling frequency to avoid potential scarring.
A user shared their successful hair regrowth journey using finasteride, oral minoxidil, and oral dutasteride, expressing gratitude for the support received. The conversation includes congratulations and encouragement from others.
Iontophoresis and sonophoresis can enhance drug delivery into the scalp. Combining these methods may improve the effectiveness of topical treatments like dutasteride and certain peptides.
The conversation discusses potential hair loss treatments, including Setipiprant, Bimatoprost, and Follicept. The user encourages signing up for Follicept, which may come to market soon.
User experienced hair regrowth after eliminating scalp itch with RU58841. Others discussed itch and hair loss connection, and effectiveness of combining RU58841 with 5AR inhibitors.
Microneedling combined with latanoprost may convert vellus hairs to transitional or terminal hairs. The user suggests using oral minoxidil to increase vellus hair, then applying a high concentration of latanoprost with microneedling for conversion.
Breezula's phase 3 results are expected soon, with discussions on the effectiveness of androgen receptor antagonists like spironolactone and the potential of GT20029. Users express skepticism about new treatments and discuss the complexities of male pattern baldness, often relying on finasteride despite its side effects.
NMN shows promise in promoting hair growth by reducing oxidative stress and weakening androgens. It may be a beneficial addition to hair loss treatments like Minoxidil and Finasteride.
TWIST-1 gene's role in hair loss and potential as a treatment target. Inhibiting TWIST-1 may prolong hair growth and reduce hair follicle sensitivity to DHT.
The post discusses a theory that hair regrowth after transplant is due to the angiogenesis process (new blood vessels forming), not because the transplanted hair is unaffected by DHT. The responses highlight the established belief in 'donor dominance' (the importance of the hair's origin in transplantation) and skepticism about the new theory.
The user is allergic to minoxidil and plans to try Redensyl hair serum and derma rolling for hair regrowth. They cannot start finasteride until age 18.
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.
Scientists at UCLA have developed a promising treatment for male pattern baldness using a molecule called PP405, which can potentially stimulate dormant hair follicles. Initial trials showed significant results within a week, but larger clinical trials are needed to confirm its efficacy and safety.
The conversation discusses the approval of Kintor Pharmaceutical's AR-PROTAC (GT20029) for clinical trials in China for acne and androgenic alopecia. One user expresses optimism about new treatments being developed and seeks clarification on how the new drug works, specifically if it temporarily degrades the AR protein to reduce DHT sensitivity in hair follicles.
PP405 shows promise for hair growth with significant results after 4 weeks, but skepticism exists due to its unavailability. Some users are hopeful for its potential, while others express concerns about side effects and market release delays.
User hoodoomoovoo discusses their interest in stem cell research and its potential for hair loss treatment. They share links to studies and mention ongoing trials, expressing optimism for a future solution to hair loss.
Post Finasteride Syndrome (PFS) is debated, with some users reporting severe side effects from finasteride, while others believe these effects are rare or psychosomatic. Treatments discussed include finasteride, minoxidil, and RU58841.
The post and conversation are about a user seeing hair regrowth after using Rogaine, rosemary oil, pumpkin seed oil, saw palmetto, microneedling, and LLLT. The user plans to add Nizoral soon and is hopeful about continued progress.
Adipose-derived stem cell secretome showed significant improvement in hair density and growth, especially when combined with minoxidil, suggesting a synergistic effect. The study had limitations, including a small sample size and potential bias.
AMP-303 and AMP-601 are new hair loss treatments targeting dermal papilla cells, with AMP-303 showing early efficacy in transitioning vellus hairs to terminal hairs after one injection. Further clinical trials are planned, and these treatments are seen as promising due to their biologic approach and less frequent application compared to daily treatments.
The conversation discusses the potential of a new hair loss treatment, GT20029, which may prevent hair loss by destroying androgen receptors on the scalp. Users express hope for the treatment's success and speculate on its usage routine, effectiveness, and possible side effects.
Finasteride and dutasteride are discussed for hair loss, with concerns about their effects on neurosteroids and potential side effects like depression. Alternatives like topical estrogen and lifestyle changes are considered, with varying opinions on mental health and hair regrowth.
