Did you mean Proliferation Index?

GlossaryProliferation Index

measure of cell division rate in a given tissue

The Proliferation Index is a measure used to determine the rate at which cells are dividing and multiplying. In the context of hair and alopecia, it can help assess the growth activity of hair follicle cells, providing insights into hair health and potential treatments for hair loss. For professionals, it is often quantified using markers like Ki-67 in tissue samples to evaluate cellular activity.

community Will PP405 need to be used indefinitely, like minoxidil?

in Research/Science 31 upvotes 9 months ago

PP405 may not need daily use like minoxidil, but finasteride might still be needed to maintain hair regrowth. PP405 reawakens dormant hair follicles, potentially offering a long-term solution, though not a permanent cure.

community Does melatonin dissolve in isopropyl alcohol

in Technology 7 upvotes 3 years ago

The conversation discusses making a topical melatonin solution for hair loss treatment, questioning if isopropyl alcohol can dissolve melatonin. Melatonin is soluble in lipids and alcohol, but it's unstable and should be mixed fresh regularly; it may help hair growth by affecting certain cellular signaling pathways and has anti-androgenic effects.

community The Cure isn't 5 years away; it's already here.

in Research/Science 1005 upvotes 1 year ago

PP405 is a new topical treatment for hair loss, showing promise in trials but still requires finasteride for maintenance. There is skepticism about its effectiveness and safety, with concerns about needing finasteride to maintain results.

community Hair theory Scar tissue and Verteporfin

in Chat 25 upvotes 2 years ago

A user suggests that deeper microneedling with Verteporfin injections might help regrow hair in areas with scar tissue, alongside a DHT blocker. Another user explains that hair loss might be due to reduced Wnt/β-Catenin signaling and suggests that treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, and microneedling could potentially reverse it.
