5 / 534 resultsresearch Identification of dkk4 as a target of Eda-A1/Edar pathway reveals an unexpected role of ectodysplasin as inhibitor of Wnt signalling in ectodermal placodes
Ectodysplasin inhibits Wnt signaling to help form hair follicles.
research DKK4 as a novel candidate marker for Zhexi Angora rabbit wool quality
DKK4 can be used to improve wool quality in Zhexi Angora rabbits.
research 1392 Dkk4 regulates Wnt-dependent hair formation and pattern
Dkk4 protein helps control how hair grows and its arrangement.
research 726 The Wnt-inhibitor Dkk4 is required for primary hair follicle induction and patterning
Dkk4 is necessary for the initial development and arrangement of hair follicles.
research 318 The Wnt-inhibitor Dkk4 is required for primary hair follicle induction and patterning

5 / 15 resultscommunity 4.5 months on Finasteride 1mg a day, topical Minoxidil 5% twice a day, and ketoconazole shampoo 1% every time I shower.
The user is using finasteride, minoxidil, and ketoconazole shampoo for hair loss and stopped derma stamping to prepare for a future hair transplant. They are considering adding tretinoin to their treatment.
community Has anyone used Magnesium L-Threonate ?
Magnesium L-Threonate may help treat balding by reducing DKK-1 expression without affecting DHT. Users discuss its potential effectiveness and application methods, with some considering trying it topically.
community A concise, easy-to-understand post on Androgenic Alopecia theory and its practical applications
The mechanism of Androgenic Alopecia and practical applications of treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, RU58841, dermarolling, scalp massages, anti-fungals, progesterone, estrogen, PPAR-γ activators, reducing oxidative stress, and scalp exercises. It explains why DHT is important in AA and how other factors might be involved such as hypoxia, increased DKK-1 expression, morphological changes to the scalp, skull growth during childhood/puberty, and blood flow.
community Surprisingly thorough study on He-Shou-Wu/Fo Ti
He Shou Wu (Fo Ti) extract was found to prolong the hair growth phase, inhibit 5-alpha-reductase (like finasteride), reduce androgen receptors, and increase growth factors, potentially outperforming minoxidil in recovering hair follicle size after DHT exposure. Two compounds, emodin and TSG, are identified as responsible for these effects and warrant further investigation.
community My understanding of how androgenetic alopecia works (plus FIN and DUT)
Androgenetic alopecia is affected by scalp DHT levels, not sensitivity, with treatments like finasteride and dutasteride aiming to optimize these levels. Personalized DHT management is crucial for effective hair growth.
