research Psoriasis patients demonstrate HLA-Cw*06:02 allele dosage-dependent T cell proliferation when treated with hair follicle-derived keratin 17 protein
Psoriasis patients' immune response to a hair protein depends on their specific gene type.
research In response to the letter to the editor by Soha Ghanian et al. re our publication “Shorter androgen receptor polyQ alleles protect against life-threatening COVID-19 disease in European males”
The authors maintain that shorter androgen receptor alleles may lead to milder COVID-19 by positively affecting the immune response, not due to changes in testosterone levels or activity.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity 2023 study: Novel Hemp extract causes great hair (allegedly better than fin/min) growth with little to no side effects. Photos included… Thoughts?
A novel hemp extract allegedly promotes better hair growth than minoxidil and finasteride, with minimal side effects, but the study's credibility is questioned due to potential bias and confounding factors like peppermint oil. Users express skepticism and suggest sticking with proven treatments like minoxidil and finasteride.
community Veradermics VDPHL01: why isn’t anyone talking about it?
Veradermics' new hair loss treatment, VDPHL01, is likely a modified release oral minoxidil, which has received $75 million in funding for clinical trials. Despite skepticism about investing in a known treatment, some believe it could offer improved efficacy and reduced side effects.
community Chromosome 20’s balding effects and why fin likely isn’t working for some.
Finasteride is effective for DHT/AR-driven hair loss but not for chromosome 20-driven cases, where treatments like minoxidil, prostaglandin analogs, and low-level laser therapy may be more beneficial. Genetic testing can help determine the underlying cause of hair loss to tailor treatment effectively.
community Dutasteride Infertility Debunked: Low T causes true infertility.
Dutasteride and finasteride may temporarily affect semen quality but are unlikely to cause permanent infertility. The Kim et al. study is criticized for poor methodology, and many prefer hair retention over potential fertility concerns, using treatments like dutasteride, finasteride, and minoxidil.
community Why you shouldn’t trust “progress” pictures.
Hair loss progress pictures can be misleading due to differences in lighting, hair length, and wetness, making it hard to accurately assess changes. Treatments mentioned include minoxidil and finasteride, with some users expressing skepticism about their effectiveness.
