Yeah and it wasn't even specifically for hairloss, it was for general application.

Also only in women so nothing could be determined from it
The BAY human phase 1 was only tested in women?

Apparently phase 1 studies were done in both Germany and China for Androgenetic Alopecia too.

14 genes were found upregulated in frontal vs vertex scalp. At least 10 of them are upregulated by PRLR signaling, and 2 others induce prolactin secretion.

An analysis of gene expression data involving examination of signaling pathways activation reveals new insights into the mechanism of action of minoxidil topical foam in men with androgenetic alopecia
Androgenetic alopecia is the most common form of hair loss. Minoxidil has been approved for the treatment of hair loss, however its mechanism of action is still not fully clarified. In this study, we aimed to elucidate the effects of 5% minoxidil topical ...

Which means it could be very effective for frontal baldness, right?14 genes were found upregulated in frontal vs vertex scalp. At least 10 of them are upregulated by PRLR signaling, and 2 others induce prolactin secretion.

This great news
I'd like to see the same comparison done in women. We know that prolactin promotes frontotemporal hair growth in women, and they don't lose their hairline. It seems to have the opposite effect in male frontotemporal hairs.
do you think there’s any link between the high prolactin level in new borns and their lack of / delayed hair growth ?
It makes sense. They have very high prolactin levels for the first 6+ weeks after birth
When I startet to get diffuse thinning on my head I did have my bloodwork done at it showed high prolactin levels. I was also shedding on my whole body and not only on my head. By now my body hair has recovered but my hair on my head did not.
I sure hope this new treatment will turn out to be successful!

The good news is that us diffuse thinners are more likely to see a greater increase in hair growth.
Supposedly shipment of the custom SMI-6 will start at the end of this month. That's what I got from the rep.
I'm just not looking forward to belly injections.
SMI-6 has already been shipped, some people might already receive it this week
SMI-6 will not be injected (at least not in the beginning), or are you talking about BAY?

Hmm, I may have been mistaken on how to administer this then. But I'm talking about SMI-6. Mine hasn't arrived yet, but then again, I did order it later than most.
SMI-6 is a topical dude - PRL antagonist. The Bayer PRL antibody I would imagine is borderline impossible to have created outside of its future official production.

How many Daltons does SMI have? If you are sticking to the original post of Follicle Guardian you guys are planing to use it in specific small áreas of the scalp so I'm guessing dermarrolling is out of question?

350 g/mol ish
you can still derma roll for increased penetration might just be unnecessary because the molecular weight is fairly small. I would actually do big areas at a time if it wasn’t for the cost of the stuff .. not to mention if it has prolonged effects like the antibody did then it just wouldn’t be necessary as along as all areas eventually get hit

So what Are the Next steps?
