research Identification of immune microenvironment changes, immune-related pathways and genes in male androgenetic alopecia
The research suggests immune system changes and specific gene expression may contribute to male hair loss, proposing potential new treatments.
research Argan (Argania Spinosa) press cake extract enhances cell proliferation and prevents oxidative stress and inflammation of human dermal papilla cells
Argan press cake extract might help grow hair and protect hair cells from damage and inflammation.
research 1340 Basal keratinocytes exhibit age-related epigenetic and transcriptomic alterations resulting in an altered metabolic profile
Aging changes skin cells, leading to different DNA methylation and gene activity, affecting cell metabolism and aging signs.
research Vitamin D And Tmprss2: Intersecting Pathways In Post-Covid-19 Alopecia
Vitamin D may help prevent or reduce hair loss after COVID-19.
research Neuronal plasticity of the “brain–skin connection”: stress-triggered up-regulation of neuropeptides in dorsal root ganglia and skin via nerve growth factor-dependent pathways
Stress increases certain chemicals in the skin and nerves, which might worsen skin conditions.

A gel of keratin microspheres promotes hair follicle growth, showing similar effectiveness to minoxidil in mice. The treatment activates hair growth pathways and reduces inflammation, with potential applications in drug delivery for hair-related disorders.
community Why does the same hormone grow your beard and destroy your hairline?
DHT promotes beard growth but causes scalp hair loss due to inflammation and fibrosis. Treatments like finasteride and minoxidil help with hormonal signals and blood flow but don't address underlying inflammation.
community How likely do you think it is for PP405 to come out?
PP405 is a potential new hair loss treatment that works through metabolic pathways rather than hormonal ones, with an estimated market release between late 2027 and 2029. Current alternatives to finasteride include minoxidil, pyralutamide, fluridil, and RU58841, with hair transplants also being a viable option.
community losing ground after a year with dut 0.5mg
A 22-year-old has been using dutasteride (0.5 mg daily) for over a year but is experiencing increased hair shedding, scalp inflammation, and burning, and cannot use minoxidil due to side effects. Suggestions include consulting a dermatologist, trying oral minoxidil, microneedling, rosemary oil, caffeine shampoo, and considering other treatments like PRP or red light therapy.
community Got a microscope camera. Here’s the difference between healthy and miniaturized hair
A user who shared progress pictures of their scalp using a microscope camera, demonstrating the difference between healthy and miniaturized hair. Various explanations for the cause of this were discussed, such as DHT build-up in scalp sebum causing an autoimmune response leading to inflammation and eventual hair loss, with some suggesting a do-it-yourself treatment involving adding ascorbic acid powder to shampoo.
