community Why did this recent research paper from professor Tsuji lab in Japan largely go unnoticed by this sub? Isn't this discovery huge? (hair cloning)
A recent discovery in hair cloning identified a previously unknown cell type essential for hair follicle growth, which could potentially make lab-grown hair viable if translated to humans. However, skepticism remains due to past delays and the challenges of replicating results in humans and making the process affordable.
community Would it be better if Nizoral's Keto-2% Shampoo had a larger volume?
The conversation discusses the inconvenience of frequently resupplying Nizoral's Keto-2% Shampoo due to its small bottle sizes. It also mentions treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841 for hair loss.
community He used Dutasteride for 20 YEARS: TL;DR Slight gains and largely stable for 20 years.
John has experienced slight hair gains and stability over 20 years using Dutasteride, which is more effective than Finasteride in reducing scalp DHT and maintaining hair. Dutasteride at 0.5mg daily has a similar side effect profile to Finasteride, but at higher doses, it may increase the risk of sexual side effects.
