Brief

Anagen (@anagenxyz) is highlighted by @mhdempsey for rapid decentralized‑science progress: using a telehealth platform to distribute new therapies, repurposing liothyronine (T3) to deliver the first new hormonal hair‑loss drug in 30 years, reformulating Precision Dutasteride, launching slow‑release minoxidil, and building proprietary hair‑follicle data. Dr. Shelby and @0xsmac detail this in a CompoundVC article (2026-06-18).

Source evidence

A lot of people have been admittedly skeptical about decentralized science but the @anagenxyz team is, in my view, one of the best examples of why it is so important.

(new @CompoundVC article with @0xsmac)

we discuss what our portfolio company @anagenxyz has accomplished in its short history. a big part of their progress is from community coordination and rapid human evidence. specifically they've:

  1. Built and are distributing their net new products with their telehealth platform
  2. For the first time in 30 years, they brought a new hormonal hair loss drug to market via repurposing of Liothyronine (T3)
  3. Reformulated and launched Precision Dutasteride which accomplishes the hair regrowth with likely fewer side effects
  4. Formulated and launched a slow-release minoxidil drug
  5. Built a knowledge base + proprietary hair follicle data

you should care because statistically, you're probably experience hair loss, and so are 80M others in the US. hair loss represents one of the largest market possible, alongside obesity.
