Finasteride functions by blocking the creation of the androgens responsible for hair loss in androgenic alopecia. Employment of these medicament bears a chance of sexual [...]]]> http://www.hairlossline.com/new-finasteride-genetic-test-avaliable/feed/ 0 http://www.hairlossline.com/curcumin-and-tgf-beta-hair-follicle-killer/ http://www.hairlossline.com/curcumin-and-tgf-beta-hair-follicle-killer/#comments Sun, 09 Nov 2008 17:28:41 +0000 James M. http://www.hairlossline.com/?p=480 Competently named the “hair follicle killer”, transmuting growth agent beta 1, (tgf-b one) and its seemingly crucial part in hair loss has been arousing a good deal of attention in the scientific community latterly. What constitutes tgf-b1?? Tgf-b1 or tgf-beta1 is part of a cytokine super-family on mammals that carries around thirty members.

This means they have found a novel hair loss gene, according to their transcription in Nature Genetics. In 2005, these scientists had earlier characterized [...]]]> http://www.hairlossline.com/new-hereditary-hair-loss-gene-discovered/feed/ 0 http://www.hairlossline.com/new-revivogen-independent-test-reveal-it-blocks-dht-by-90/ http://www.hairlossline.com/new-revivogen-independent-test-reveal-it-blocks-dht-by-90/#comments Sun, 14 Sep 2008 11:35:24 +0000 James M. An independent review conducted by BioAlternatives Laboratories on Revivogen solution concluded a 90% DHT inhibition, which is quite amazing considering that only Dutasteride came close to that mark under other laboratory tests, and were talking about an oral drug whether Revivigen is a topical product. The study was commissioned by Advanced Skin and Hair and [...]]]> http://www.hairlossline.com/new-revivogen-independent-test-reveal-it-blocks-dht-by-90/feed/ 0 http://www.hairlossline.com/follica-developing-breakthrough-discovery-to-treat-hair-loss/ http://www.hairlossline.com/follica-developing-breakthrough-discovery-to-treat-hair-loss/#comments Mon, 14 Jul 2008 14:35:02 +0000 James M. Technology licensed by Follica Inc. fromthe University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine has been used to generat completely new hair follicles for the first time in normal adult mammals. The paper describing the experiment was published in the May 17th issue ofthe scientific journal Nature. By studying wound healing on a molecular level, Dr. George Cotsarelis [...]]]> http://www.hairlossline.com/follica-developing-breakthrough-discovery-to-treat-hair-loss/feed/ 0 http://www.hairlossline.com/laser-hair-regrowth-device-now-has-fda-clearance/ http://www.hairlossline.com/laser-hair-regrowth-device-now-has-fda-clearance/#comments Mon, 02 Jun 2008 12:03:28 +0000 James M. It may seem strange to hear about a laser being used for hair regrowth, but this type of treatment has been around for some time and was discovered accidentally by a scientist testing the effects laser radiation on mice. It was in 1967 soon after the first working laser was invented that Dr Endre Mester [...]]]> http://www.hairlossline.com/laser-hair-regrowth-device-now-has-fda-clearance/feed/ 0 http://www.hairlossline.com/natural-hair-loss-remedy-discovered-in-apples/ http://www.hairlossline.com/natural-hair-loss-remedy-discovered-in-apples/#comments Sat, 05 Apr 2008 15:59:26 +0000 James M. The news spread like lightning across the Internet… In Japanese clinical trials, a safe, natural polyphenol compound from apples was proven to promote new hair growth in men with male pattern baldness. In the first double-blind clinical study, 29 balding men were treated with the apple procyanidin solution. After 6 months, researchers reported that both vellus [...]]]> http://www.hairlossline.com/natural-hair-loss-remedy-discovered-in-apples/feed/ 0 http://www.hairlossline.com/propecia/ http://www.hairlossline.com/propecia/#comments Sun, 15 Apr 2007 02:19:04 +0000 James M. One a day will keep the depression away. To many men (and women) today, the bathroom mirror is the mortal enemy. Every day, you stumble into the bathroom, yank the toothbrush out of its holder, and very reluctantly venture an eye into the mirror above the sink. What you see devitalizes you. It devastates you.

One of the most exciting recent developments in the search to find new solutions for hair loss has been research investigating hair cloning. Properly known as follicle cloning or multiplication, it involves taking a sample of a person’s hair follicle cells, multiplying them in a lab and injecting them back into the patient’s scalp. The aim obviously is [...]]]> http://www.hairlossline.com/hair-cloning-as-a-solution-for-hair-loss/feed/ 0 http://www.hairlossline.com/non-approved-drugs-that-can-help-hair-loss/ http://www.hairlossline.com/non-approved-drugs-that-can-help-hair-loss/#comments Mon, 09 Apr 2007 10:01:20 +0000 James M. At present only two medications have been approved by the FDA for the treatment of hair loss, namely finasteride (Propecia) and minoxidil (Rogaine). While both of these continue to prove their worth to many patients, some individuals are disappointed with their results and seek other forms of treatment. Often they turn to drugs that have [...]]]> http://www.hairlossline.com/non-approved-drugs-that-can-help-hair-loss/feed/ 0
