The massage technique is not documented enough in the paper to replicate the study. I'm skeptical of the effectiveness due to the sobering anecdotal reports from the community. This first popped up many years ago and was soon forgotten. If anyone had any success with massage, they didn't share...

Reading this forum makes me think I should open a small webshop selling lab equipment like scales, pipettes, graduated cylinders and common solvents. Not a fan of exporting chemicals, but I get the feeling a lot of the people here should at least have a mg scale and some glass. Not sure if...

Yeah, I believe the PTD-DBM they are referring to is actually PolyR8-DBM according to this early patent and what they most likely used in their wounding study. Although we don't know FOR CERTAIN if it's the the same poly-peptide they used in their hair study, we know that it should have the same...

You might be one of the few people who could benefit from taking a look at nutritional deficiencies. male pattern baldness is not related to a nutritional deficiency, but hair thinning can be.

He misunderstood. RRRRRRRRGGGGRKTGHQICKFRKC is PTD-DBM. R8 is the protein transduction domain, that allows DBM to penetrate through the cell wall. GGGG is the glycerin linker. RKTGHQICKFRKC is the peptide which relates to CXXC5 and CXXC4. Octaarginine (R8) peptides and other arginine peptides...

I'm optimistic about lasers in general, and I had designed and prototyped a USB powered laser helmet, as well as some lasers for minor surgery (thermal ablation and photochemical). It all depends on what you're targeting, getting the right wavelength and power density. The problem is, if it...

Finding some theoretical Goldilocks zone where you're doing enough damage but not killing the hair follicle is certainly not something I would want to experiment with on my own scalp.

Oh good point, you might need to get permission for that. If you get denied they make good pets. The most rodents I've ever kept in my room at one time was 35. It's doable, and with all the exercise wheels spinning you won't need a white noise generator to get to sleep. But in all seriousness...

In their mouse model, they achieved the increased wound healing by attaching 8 arginine residues to the front end (N-terminal) of a peptide. That's the "RRRRRRRR" amino acid sequence, which I will call the pirate peptide. The DBM peptide is the important bit, it inhibits the interaction between...

Amino acid sequence RKTGHQICKFRKC with the carboxyl group (n terminal may also work) linked to the amino acid sequence RRRRRRRR with a glycerin linker GGGG. CXXC5...

I just bought it over the counter from a local pharmacy.

Here is the first patent which uses PTD-DBM for wound healing, it was filed in 2014 with a priority date of Feb that year. https://www.google.com/patents/US9763994 They are purposefully very vague on the composition but there is some info in there. That means they've been using this stuff in...

If it wasn't for concerns over side effects, Metformin might be one of the biggest breakthroughs in anti-aging science ever.

I've tried KCZ cream on my temples before, didn't seem to do anything so I didn't keep with it. I should note that I'm not on any other drugs. Never been on finasteride or min.

I'll look into it. The best way to check how legit these companies are is to actually visit them. It would be great if I were still living in the backyard of most of these labs, but I'm on the other side of the country now.
