5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Trump halted all federal funding for medical research in the US. Will this affect any current treatments in the pipeline?
Federal funding for medical research in the U.S. has been halted, potentially delaying new treatments. Hair loss treatments like finasteride and minoxidil are unlikely to be impacted as they are typically funded by private companies.
community Finasteride is save in the eu (they concluded the investigation)
Finasteride and dutasteride are still available in the EU, with a warning about potential suicidal thoughts. The benefits of these treatments are deemed greater than the risks.
community The case of a 78 year old man who accidentally regrew his hair (published in the British Medical Journal)
A 78-year-old man regrew hair after suffering burns, suggesting that injury-induced healing processes might trigger hair growth. Microneedling and other treatments like minoxidil and finasteride are discussed as potential methods to stimulate similar regrowth.
community May have been mis-diagnosed for 10 years, self-investigation into AGA + AA Incognita (Defused Shedding)
A 27-year-old male with AGA and diffused thinning has been using oral Minoxidil, Finasteride, Vitamin D, B12, Iron, and Ketoconazole shampoo. Despite a hair transplant and improved blood levels, he continues to experience hair loss and suspects a possible misdiagnosis of Alopecia Areata Incognita.
community Surprisingly thorough study on He-Shou-Wu/Fo Ti
He Shou Wu (Fo Ti) extract was found to prolong the hair growth phase, inhibit 5-alpha-reductase (like finasteride), reduce androgen receptors, and increase growth factors, potentially outperforming minoxidil in recovering hair follicle size after DHT exposure. Two compounds, emodin and TSG, are identified as responsible for these effects and warrant further investigation.
