5 / 218 resultscommunity Horrible news, Stemson Therapeutics has shut down
Stemson Therapeutics has shut down, disappointing those seeking a hair loss cure. Current treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, and dutasteride are discussed, with some users experiencing side effects and exploring alternatives like PP405.
community Treatment of Androgenetic Alopecia: Current Guidance and Unmet Needs
The review discusses traditional hair loss treatments like minoxidil and finasteride, and newer options like Low-Level Laser Therapy, microneedling, and platelet-rich plasma for androgenetic alopecia. It highlights the need for more high-quality trials to assess these treatments' effectiveness and standardized protocols for emerging therapies.
community New and Interesting HairLoss Studies/Papers/Reviews
Hair loss treatments discussed include Dutasteride with Ketoconazole, tissue engineering strategies, and androgenetic alopecia therapies. Massage doubles follicular retention, improving treatment effectiveness.
community How far are we from a treatment better than finasteride?
Dutasteride is more effective than finasteride for hair loss as it blocks more of the enzyme causing hair loss. New treatments like stem cell therapies and alternatives to minoxidil are being explored, but major advancements are still years away.
community FCE 28260: A Forgotten 5α-Reductase Inhibitor
FCE 28260 (PNU 156765), an under-explored 5α-reductase inhibitor, showcases promising results in research by Giudici et al., outperforming well-known treatments like Finasteride in reducing the conversion of testosterone to DHT. Its superior efficacy, demonstrated through lower IC50 values in both natural and human recombinant enzyme studies, suggests it could offer more effective management of DHT-related conditions. Additionally, its lower molecular weight hints at better potential for topical application, potentially offering advantages in treating conditions such as androgenic alopecia. Despite its potential, it has not advanced in development, possibly due to financial limitations, leaving its therapeutic prospects and side effect profile largely unexplored.
