research Genetics
Certain gene mutations can weaken the skin barrier and, when combined with environmental factors, lead to eczema and severe itching.
research Filaggrin mutations as an archetype for understanding the pathophysiology of atopic dermatitis
Filaggrin mutations are linked to atopic dermatitis and help explain how genetics and environment affect the disease.
research 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin Increases the Expression of Genes in the Human Epidermal Differentiation Complex and Accelerates Epidermal Barrier Formation
TCDD speeds up skin barrier formation by increasing certain gene expressions.
research Skin diseases associated with atopic dermatitis
People with atopic dermatitis are more likely to develop other skin conditions due to shared genetics and immune pathways.
research Editors' Picks
ANp63 is crucial for skin integrity, new filaggrin gene mutations link to eczema, hair can regrow from non-stem cells, sunburns are increasing, and glucocorticoids help treat skin allergies by affecting immune cells.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity CRISPR treatment for AGA on the horizon after approval for blood disorders
CRISPR treatments for blood disorders have been approved, leading to discussions about its potential for treating hair loss (AGA). A study showed that editing a gene related to DHT sensitivity could lead to hair regrowth, suggesting CRISPR may eventually be used for AGA, but it's expected to be expensive and not soon available.
community Perifollicular Fibrosis and its role in androgenetic alopecia. Is Aminexil/Kopexil a must for anyone with AGA?
Aminexil/Kopexil may help reduce hair loss by addressing perifollicular fibrosis in androgenetic alopecia, but it lacks the extensive clinical backing of finasteride and minoxidil. Some users find it effective, but availability and cost are issues, especially in the US where it's not FDA-approved.
community GT20029 China Phase II Trial For AGA Reached Primary Endpoint
The GT20029 tincture, a topical androgen receptor degrader, showed significant hair growth and good safety in a China Phase II trial for male androgenetic alopecia (AGA), with the 1% dose twice weekly identified as optimal. The company plans to initiate Phase III trials in China and Phase II in the U.S., and the treatment also shows promise for acne.
community mallia therapeutics 8T3 scd83 molecule for ffa/lpp mainly and aga
A user applied the 8T3 product for hair loss, targeting LPP and AGA, and plans to update on its effectiveness. The product uses a saline buffered phosphate vehicle, suitable for those intolerant to ethanolic vehicles.
community Can amino acids help with AGA
Amino acids like lysine, methionine, and cysteine may help with androgenetic alopecia when taken in high doses along with a DHT blocker. Users discuss combining these with treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
