Research
5 / 1000+ resultsresearch The premature catagen induced by estrogen was accompanied with advance apoptosis of precortex cells.
Estrogen speeds up hair follicle cell death, causing early hair growth cycle changes, but only if a specific receptor is present.
research Involvement of the Edar Signaling in the Control of Hair Follicle Involution (Catagen)
Edar signaling is crucial for controlling hair growth and regression.
research Foot shock stress prolongs the telogen stage of the spontaneous hair cycle in a non‐depilated mouse model
Stress in mice delays hair growth and treatments blocking substance P can partly reverse this effect.
research Beneficial Effects of Astragaloside IV for Hair Loss via Inhibition of Fas/Fas L-Mediated Apoptotic Signaling
Astragaloside IV may help prevent hair loss by blocking a specific pathway that leads to cell death.

community Guys… Pelage might just be the one. They might actually find the cure. I work in tech - let me explain.
Pelage, backed by Google Ventures, is seen as a promising company potentially finding a cure for hair loss using stem cell activation. There is skepticism and optimism among users, with some awaiting results from ongoing trials.
community How far are we from a treatment better than finasteride?
Dutasteride is more effective than finasteride for hair loss as it blocks more of the enzyme causing hair loss. New treatments like stem cell therapies and alternatives to minoxidil are being explored, but major advancements are still years away.
community Post Finasteride Syndrome, A dangerous lie.
A user initially had side effects from finasteride, attributed them to anxiety and the nocebo effect, and after resuming the drug, experienced positive effects and now warns against misinformation about Post Finasteride Syndrome.
