    Newly Discovered Factor in Androgenetic Alopecia. The Cure is Near?

    This paper suggests that inhibiting cox may not be that effective as there are cox independant pathways for CRTH2 receptor stimulation. I think (need a scientisits to translate this study) what it states is that once the CRTH2 receptor has been stimulated by an agonist (e.g PGD2) that even the...

    dennis i think your right with this one. i also looked at at-56 but i thought that it inhibits L-PGDS which from what I read isnt the problem because L-PGDS is only found in the nervous system. It seems that H-PGDS is the one we want to kill
