GlossaryAnimal Models

non-human animals used to study biological processes and diseases

Animal models are non-human animals used in scientific research to study biological processes and diseases, including conditions like alopecia. These models help researchers understand how diseases develop and progress, and they are crucial for testing the safety and effectiveness of new treatments before they are used in humans.

community Connection between finasteride and nafld?

in Research/Science 4 upvotes 1 year ago

Finasteride may affect liver function and cortisol levels, potentially linking it to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). More research is needed to understand this connection fully.

community Finally, some real breakthroughs. A comparison of the two leading baldness treatments: PP405 versus ABS-201

in Technology 107 upvotes 9 months ago

PP405 and ABS-201 are promising treatments for male pattern baldness. PP405 shows rapid hair growth in human trials, while ABS-201 shows significant regrowth in animal studies but is still in early human trials.

community Welp - pp405 conference showed nothing

in Update 77 upvotes 4 months ago

PP405 shows potential for hair growth by increasing terminal hair and converting vellus hairs, but results are modest and more waiting is needed. It complements existing treatments like minoxidil and finasteride, but won't replace them.

community Bee venom better than minoxidil?

in Research/Science 1061 upvotes 7 months ago

Bee venom at 0.001% concentration was more effective than 2% minoxidil in promoting hair growth in mice, possibly due to increased growth factors and reduced inflammation. Caution is advised due to potential allergic reactions and the reliance on animal data.
