Serum prolactin doesn't have anything to do with alopecia, it's tissue level of prolactin receptors that matters

I don't need to imagine

I do cupping as part of acupuncture treatments. It would be quite easy to do. Except with hijama you need to create little wounds in the skin with a small scalpel-like tool. I have a feeling cupping without blood-letting would be of some benefit (myofascial release, toxin eliminating) but maybe...

Fluorouracil has some relation to TWIST1 in its mechanism of tumour suppression. "TWIST1 suppression in CRC cells sensitizes them to 5-FU-induced apoptosis."

Give it more time to assess, I wouldn't say you've had a bad result.

Thanks for sharing. We've been hearing about this for a while ( TGF-β1 ) - maybe since the mid 90s - but they haven't actually done anything worthwhile with it yet. Maybe in another 25 years?

Why does this not have more attention?

Triphenyl phosphate potentially increases SCUBE3 :eek:

Aren't all these medications immunosuppressants? As someone with 2 autoimmune diseases, from my experience the treatments are pretty pathetic and I don't see much progress made, just like with male pattern baldness. At least what they do have works a bit better than the male pattern baldness treatments.

Not consistently. I lost interest a bit because I expected some sort of changes to take place in 4 months but didn't notice anything. I know that's a short time frame, but I expect to see at least something, or reduction in shedding. To be fair, I also have concerns about my liver so was...

Another question. How come from my observation (could be false), guys with low hairline, thick hair texture and certain ethnicities seem more prone to female pattern hair loss? FPHL doesn't seem as common in Caucasian men as in Mediterranean, Arab, Indian and Chinese men for example.

Still the same as 25 years ago, except now people are taking Minoxidil oral and Finasteride topical.
