research Exploring Reference Values for Hair Cortisol: Hair Weight Versus Hair Protein
Lower tacrolimus levels (4-7 ng/mL) after liver transplant may be safe and improve graft and kidney function.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Does whey protein and creatine aggravate hair loss?
The conversation discusses whether whey protein and creatine worsen hair loss. Some users report hair loss with creatine use, while others do not; opinions on whey protein's effects are mixed. Treatments mentioned include PRP, minoxidil, and finasteride.
community Published in Nature: Osteopontin, a protein involved in the growth of hair on moles could be the key to our troubles.
Osteopontin, a protein involved in hair growth on moles, may help with hair loss. However, it is also linked to Alzheimer's, cancer, and bone development, so caution is advised.
community Verteporfin and Microneedling
Clinical studies by Dr. Barghouthi and Dr. Bloxham indicate that Verteporfin, when used with FUE and FUT hair transplantation methods, shows promise in hair follicle regeneration and minimal scarring due to its ability to inhibit Yes-associated protein (YAP). Microneedling at depths of 3-3.5mm, combined with Verteporfin, could potentially reactivate dormant follicles, although the optimal dosage and application method are still under investigation. Concerns remain about the DHT sensitivity of regenerated follicles, highlighting the need for further research to optimize trauma levels and Verteporfin concentrations to achieve effective and scar-free hair regeneration.
community 3 months’ progress - topical minox - 32F
A user shared 3 months of hair loss progress using topical minoxidil 5%, biotin, and increased protein. The user noted steady improvement and the benefit of progress pictures.
community Almost 7 months on topical fin/min- not seeing much benefit
A 39-year-old user has been using topical 0.3% finasteride with 6% minoxidil for almost 7 months without seeing significant improvement in hair regrowth. They are considering switching to a gel with higher minoxidil concentration, adding retinoic acid, or trying topical dutasteride, while others suggest returning to 5% minoxidil foam, adding oral finasteride, or exploring microneedling and lifestyle changes.
