5 / 346 resultscommunity Targeted Follicular Finasteride Delivery: A Low-Systemic Strategy
A peptide-based delivery system for finasteride shows promise in reducing systemic side effects while maintaining hair growth effectiveness. Combining this with other treatments like minoxidil and RU58841 could enhance results with lower systemic absorption.
community Protac degradation of the androgen receptor in mice shows good efficacy and no systemic drug could be found
The efficacy of degrading the androgen receptor through dermal application in DP cells, a delivery system for topical drugs that involves dissolving microneedles, and rosemary oil as an alternative anti-androgen.
community New and Interesting HairLoss Studies/Papers/Reviews
Hair loss treatments discussed include Dutasteride with Ketoconazole, tissue engineering strategies, and androgenetic alopecia therapies. Massage doubles follicular retention, improving treatment effectiveness.
community Napkin math: are we using 100x more topical finasteride than necessary?
Topical finasteride concentrations are likely much higher than necessary for effective follicular DHT suppression, with current standards being 100-1000 times above the theoretical minimum. Lower concentrations (0.001-0.0025%) might still work locally while minimizing systemic exposure.
community Is Minoxidil + Peppermint/Rosemary Oil a good combo?
Combining Minoxidil with Peppermint or Rosemary Oil may enhance hair growth. Users discuss the potential benefits of this combination for treating hair loss.
