research Comparing the delivery to the hair bulb of two fluorescent molecules of distinct hydrophilicities by different nanoparticles and a serum formulation
Serum formulations were better at delivering molecules to the hair bulb than nanoparticles.
research Assessment of the Relationship Between Serum High Molecular Weight Adiponectin Hormone Levels and Insulin Resistance in Patients with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Women with PCOS have lower adiponectin hormone levels and are more likely to have insulin resistance.
research The Binding of Small Molecules and Polymers to Keratin and Their Effects on the Physicochemical and Surface Properties of Hair Fibers
Certain small molecules and polymers can change hair's physical properties and how it feels by affecting the bonds within the hair.
research Molecular interactions of natural and synthetic steroids in female hamsters’ flank organs
Testosterone, progesterone, and levonorgestrel change enzyme levels related to fat production in hamster skin, which could affect skin oil and acne.
research Deciphering the molecular mechanisms of stem cell dynamics in hair follicle regeneration
Different stem cells are key for hair growth and health, and understanding their regulation could help treat hair loss.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity looking for a pure high molecular weight hyaluronic acid for scalp after microneedling
The conversation is about finding a pure high molecular weight hyaluronic acid for the scalp after microneedling. A user suggests using a product from The Ordinary.
community Topical serum made from monounsaturated fatty acids that triggered rapid hair growth in mice within 20 days
A topical serum made from monounsaturated fatty acids showed rapid hair growth in mice within 20 days, but it remains experimental for humans. Users humorously discussed the frequent success of hair growth treatments in mice and expressed skepticism about translating these results to humans.
community My case study: DHT serum levels unresponsive to higher topical fin dosages.
The user has been using liposomal topical finasteride since late 2022, progressively increasing the dose, but DHT serum levels remain largely unchanged. Despite using finasteride, minoxidil, microneedling, and ketoconazole, hair condition has neither improved nor worsened.
community Taiwan scientists used naturally derived fatty acids serum to regrow hairs (in mice <.<)
A serum with oleic and palmitoleic acids shows promise for hair regrowth in mice, but its effectiveness in humans is unproven. Minoxidil and finasteride remain the recommended treatments.
community Pyrilutamide ,the molecule’s true nature
Pyrilutamide is a selective AR antagonist with a high binding affinity, making it effective in competing with DHT for androgen receptors. The 1% concentration is more effective than the 0.5%, but the latter may suffice for mild hair loss; the drug is considered a good option for those avoiding 5AR blockers due to side effects.
