Gene editing for hair loss is not yet viable due to technological and economic challenges. Current treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, and hair transplants remain the most practical options.
community Binding affinity of pyrilutamide!
Pyrilutamide, a nonsteroidal antiandrogen drug under development for the potential treatment of androgenic alopecia. The conversation discusses its binding affinity to the androgen receptor and the timeline for possible availability after trials are completed in the United States and China.
community The Placebo Group Has It Worse Than The Standard Prescription 0.5mg Group. -The fear is all in your head.
Dutasteride at 0.5mg may have fewer sexual side effects than expected, with many side effects attributed to psychological factors (nocebo effect). The placebo group experienced more side effects, suggesting fear and anxiety might contribute to perceived side effects.
community Am I missing something with pp405?
PP405 is discussed as a potential hair growth stimulant, possibly more effective than minoxidil, but not a cure for hair loss. There is skepticism about its ability to regrow "deadzones," and concerns about its impact on those with hair transplants.
community No, Finasteride as a treatment for MPB was not an "accident"
Finasteride was intentionally developed to treat BPH and later approved for male pattern baldness (MPB) due to its 5AR inhibition effects. The delay in MPB approval was due to concerns about off-label use for female hirsutism and the prioritization of treating a more debilitating condition.
