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.
community Serum based on plant extracts boosts hair growth in weeks.
A serum containing Centella asiatica extracellular vesicles, IGF-1, FGF-7, and caffeine significantly improved hair thickness, density, length, and reduced hair loss after 56 days. The conversation also discusses how treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and ketoconazole address different aspects of hair loss by reducing DHT, improving blood flow, and lowering inflammation.
community New plant-based serum shown to regrow hair in weeks, according to scientists
A new plant-based serum is claimed to regrow hair in weeks, but users are skeptical about its effectiveness and the reliability of the study. Ingredients like Centella Asiatica and IGF-1 are mentioned, but many doubt the serum's superiority over existing treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride.
community Tropoelastin injections + verteporfin?
The use of tropoelastin injections and verteporfin for hair transplant recipients to help regrow donor area hairs, as well as research done on tropoelastin injections restoring elastin in scarred heart tissue and skin. There are discussions about why it is taking so long to get cosmetic mass produced tropoelastin injectables on the market.
community Do you guys think it’s possible to DIY HMI-115?
Hair loss discussion includes DIY HMI-115 and its high cost (20-30k per person). Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841 mentioned as treatments.
