research Epidermal Differentiation Complex: A Review on Its Epigenetic Regulation and Potential Drug Targets.
Understanding how EDC genes are regulated can help develop better drugs for skin diseases.
research Transcriptional and epigenetic mechanisms governing epidermal stem cell regulation
Understanding how certain proteins and genetic changes control skin stem cells is key to treating skin diseases.
research The pioneer factor SOX9 competes for epigenetic factors to switch stem cell fates
SOX9 helps determine stem cell roles by interacting with DNA and proteins that control gene activity.
research Novel Mutation in Sjögren-Larsson Syndrome Is Associated With Divergent Neurologic Phenotypes
The same genetic mutation in Sjögren-Larsson syndrome can lead to different levels of severity, suggesting other factors influence the symptoms.
research Eleven pairs of Japanese male twins suggest the role of epigenetic differences in androgenetic alopecia

Blocking DHT is not a cure for hair loss; instead, altering how scalp follicles respond to DHT might be more effective. Current treatments like topical finasteride and minoxidil are temporary solutions, and future approaches may involve gene therapy and bioengineering to change follicle behavior.
community Rethinking DHT and Hair Loss: Are We Targeting the Wrong Enemy?
Blocking DHT is not a complete solution for hair loss; instead, altering the scalp's response to DHT may be more effective. Topical finasteride and minoxidil are current treatments, but future approaches may involve bioengineering, gene therapy, and inflammation control.
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 How much does diet affect hair loss?
The conversation suggests that changing diet and lifestyle has little to no effect on male pattern baldness (MPB), which is largely determined by genetics. Some individuals noted personal improvements in hair condition with healthier diets, but the consensus is that diet alone cannot prevent or reverse MPB.
community Male (24) Using Dutasteride Since 2020 – Concerns About Having Kids
A 24-year-old male using dutasteride for hair loss is worried about its effects on fertility and future children's health. Users advise consulting a doctor, possibly switching to finasteride, or stopping dutasteride before conception due to its impact on sperm count.
