research Comparison of rheological properties, follicular penetration, drug release, and permeation behavior of a novel topical drug delivery system and a conventional cream
The new drug delivery system releases the drug better in sebum and targets follicles more effectively than the conventional cream.
research Conventional and novel stem cell based therapies for androgenic alopecia
Stem cell technologies and regenerative medicine, including platelet-rich plasma, show promise for hair restoration in treating hair loss, but more research is needed.
research Connection between granulosa cell pyroptosis and oocyte endoplasmic reticulum stress in a mouse model of polycystic ovary syndrome
Reducing granulosa cell pyroptosis may improve oocyte maturation in PCOS.
research Conventional treatments in systemic lupus erythematosus
Systemic lupus erythematosus is managed with lifestyle changes, symptomatic treatments, and careful use of medications to control symptoms and flares.

Caffeine might raise stress hormones, potentially worsening hair loss. Telogen effluvium is often misattributed to minor stressors rather than significant life events.
community Connection between finasteride and nafld?
Finasteride may affect liver function and cortisol levels, potentially linking it to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). More research is needed to understand this connection fully.
community Connection between heat (dry/flaky scalp) and hair loss?
The user experienced hair loss and used minoxidil, biotin shampoo, and supplements like biotin, zinc, fish oil, saw palmetto, and B vitamins, which initially stopped hair loss but did not promote regrowth. They suspect heat causes a dry, flaky scalp leading to hair loss and are considering using a supplementary shampoo and possibly finasteride.
community Sugar and Hair loss connections
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 What’s the connection between folliculitis and hair loss?
Folliculitis may be linked to hair loss, with treatments including antibiotics, minoxidil, finasteride, and dietary changes. Users suggest seeing a dermatologist for proper diagnosis and treatment.
