      community We already know how to permanently fix hair loss. The science is done. The only thing missing is the funding to run one experiment.

      in Technology  613 upvotes 4 weeks ago
      A permanent hair loss solution could involve reprogramming hair follicles to resist DHT using mRNA and siRNA. However, high costs, safety concerns, and the pharmaceutical industry's preference for ongoing treatments over one-time cures are major obstacles, with finasteride and minoxidil remaining standard treatments.

      community Since there is so much hype for cosmeRNA and HMI-115...

      Exploring different treatments for hair loss, such as cosmeRNA and HMI-115 which are small interference messenger RNA that inhibits the DHT receptor and an antibody that binds to the prolactin (PRL) receptor respectively; and researching mechanism and environment of hyperresponders.

      community Could coffee contribute to hair loss?

      in Research/Science  4 upvotes 4 years ago
      Coffee may negatively impact hair health due to its vasoconstrictor effects, potential to increase DHT, and interference with nutrient absorption. There is no strong clinical evidence linking caffeine to hair loss or regrowth in humans, but moderation is advised.

      community Why hasn’t anyone made a "DHT sponge" biologic yet???

      in Research/Science  45 upvotes 6 months ago
      The conversation discusses the potential for developing a biologic "DHT sponge" to neutralize DHT in the bloodstream as a treatment for hair loss, suggesting it could be more targeted and have fewer side effects than current treatments like finasteride and dutasteride. Concerns include the complexity, cost, and potential side effects of such a treatment, as well as skepticism about its feasibility and market interest.
