5 / 1000+ resultsresearch Abstract 1489: Basal cell carcinomas express functional indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) which may confer immunoprotection
Basal cell carcinomas may use IDO to protect themselves from the immune system.
research Immune Regulation in Hair Follicle Protection and Hair Regeneration: Insights from the Collapse of Immune Privilege in Alopecia Areata and Targeted Immunotherapy
Targeted immunotherapies may offer better treatment for alopecia areata by controlling inflammation and immune responses.
research Calcitonin gene‐related peptide (CGRP) may award relative protection from interferon‐γ‐induced collapse of human hair follicle immune privilege
CGRP may help protect hair follicles from immune system attacks, potentially slowing hair loss.
research 1419 Pre-clinical in-vitro assays for high throughput screening of drug candidates for protection and restoration of immune privilege in alopecia areata
The research developed methods to test drugs that could protect and restore hair follicle protection in a hair loss condition.
research Vasoactive intestinal peptide, whose receptor-mediated signalling may be defective in alopecia areata, provides protection from hair follicle immune privilege collapse
A substance called VIP might protect hair follicles from being attacked by the immune system, and problems with VIP signaling could lead to hair loss in alopecia areata.

Hair provides protection against head trauma, reduces skin cancer risk, helps remove heavy metals, and aids in wound healing. The conversation emphasizes the health benefits of maintaining head hair beyond cosmetic reasons.
community DHT Harms Scalp Microbiome: DHT Itch is REAL
Increased Malassezia and Cutibacterium in the scalp microbiome are linked to higher sebum production and inflammation in androgenetic alopecia (AGA). Treatments include ciclopirox shampoo, benzoyl peroxide shampoo, clobetasol propionate, calcipotriol, minoxidil, finasteride, and dutasteride.
community PP405: The Ultimate Hair Loss Drug for Complete Hair Growth
PP405 is a new hair loss treatment in phase 2 trials that may promote hair growth by increasing lactate production and activating hair follicle stem cells. It could potentially replace hormone-disrupting treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride.
community I have not seen a single person who claims dutasteride destroyed their hair post a picture of the before/after
The conversation discusses skepticism around claims that dutasteride worsens hair loss, with some users suggesting misinformation or panic during shedding as reasons for such claims. One user shared their negative experience with dutasteride, including increased sebum production and hair loss, and is now considering a higher dose of oral minoxidil after stopping dutasteride.
community Clearing the air on how non-surgical treatments really work
Treatments for hair loss, including finasteride, dutasteride, minoxidil, ketoconazole, microneedling, and low level laser light therapy, which aim to reduce DHT production, increase cell absorption and blood flow, and stimulate epidermal stem cells. It also stresses the importance of patience when using these treatments.
