research Endophytes in Southeast Asia and Japan: their taxonomic diversity and potential applications

48 citations , January 2003

In this study, researchers isolated and identified diverse endophytes from plants in Asia, finding that these microorganisms have significant potential for producing useful metabolites, including enzymes and antibiotics.

research Resequencing Analyses Revealed Genetic Diversity and Selection Signatures during Rabbit Breeding and Improvement

March 2024 in “Genes”

This study used whole-genome resequencing to analyze genetic diversity and selection in 17 rabbit breeds, identifying genes linked to traits like coat color and body size, which could inform breeding and conservation efforts.

research Relationship between the bacterial community structures on human hair and scalp

7 citations , September 2020 in “Bioscience Biotechnology and Biochemistry”

This study found that bacterial community structures on hair and scalp differ significantly, with distinct abundances of Pseudomonas on hair and Staphylococcus on scalp.

Sample Collecting Methods for Bacterial Community Structure Analysis of Scalp Hair: Non-Invasive Swabbing Versus Intrusive Hair Shaft Cutting

research Sample collecting methods for bacterial community structure analysis of scalp hair: non-invasive swabbing versus intrusive hair shaft cutting

1 citations , September 2024 in “Scientific Reports”

This study observed that bacterial communities on scalp hair collected through non-invasive swabbing showed similar diversity and composition to those obtained by cutting or removing hair, suggesting that swabbing is an effective method for microbiome analysis on hair.

research Comparative analysis of scalp and gut microbiome in androgenetic alopecia: A Korean cross-sectional study

December 2022 in “Frontiers in Microbiology”

This study found that individuals with androgenetic alopecia had higher scalp microbiome diversity and more complex scalp-gut microbiome networks than those without, suggesting a link between skin-gut microorganisms and hair loss development.

community Why do we have head hair in first place if we evolved to start losing it in some cases as soon as puberty hits

140 upvotes 11 months ago

Hair loss is influenced by genetics and sensitivity to hormones like DHT. Treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride are commonly used, and baldness persists as it doesn't affect reproductive success.

community I interviewed Kintor: GT20029 Clinical Trial Pictures. As well as KX826.

156 upvotes 1 year ago

GT20029 and KX826 are promising hair loss treatments, with GT20029 increasing hair count and KX826 showing significant results. KX826 may be a good alternative for those who can't use finasteride or dutasteride, though results vary.

community Solving Hair Loss with Research at MIT

in Research/Science 595 upvotes 1 year ago

Hair loss treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, TDM-105795, and PP405. MIT is hosting a hackathon to find innovative hair loss solutions.

community 17-alpha-estradiol/Alfatradiol how does it Work for Hair loss?

2 upvotes 1 year ago

17-alpha-estradiol may work for hair loss by inhibiting 5-alpha reductase, similar to finasteride. It might lower testosterone in the scalp, reducing DHT conversion.

community 5 alpha reductase type 1 is in brain tissue producing the main endogenous gabaergic allopregnanolone, not 2. How can finasteride as a 5ar2 lower that?

27 upvotes 1 year ago

Finasteride and dutasteride are discussed for hair loss, with concerns about their effects on neurosteroids and potential side effects like depression. Alternatives like topical estrogen and lifestyle changes are considered, with varying opinions on mental health and hair regrowth.
