5 / 1000+ resultsresearch Comparative genomics analyses of alpha-keratins reveal insights into evolutionary adaptation of marine mammals
In this study, the researchers reported extensive gene loss and high pseudogenization rates of α-keratin genes in cetaceans compared to terrestrial mammals, likely linked to hair loss and aquatic adaptations.
research The Viscoelastic Properties of Chemically Modified alpha-Keratins in Human Hair
This study found that chemically modifying human hair through esterification or disulfide reduction and alkylation affects the hair's viscoelastic properties, including stability, integrity, and response to moisture.
research DSC-investigations of alpha-keratins and the specific effects of chemical treatments on human hair
This study found that, compared to oxidative treatments, reductive perm-waving more severely impacts the intermediate filaments in European human hair, while both treatments alter denaturation kinetics in a first-order manner.
research Hard alpha-keratin degradation inside a tissue under high flux X-ray synchrotron micro-beam: A multi-scale time-resolved study
This study found that the molecular structure of hair is more sensitive to synchrotron X-ray radiation than its supramolecular architecture, indicating potential concerns for biological analyses using such radiation.
research The use of electron spin resonance techniques to determine gamma ray exposure of $\alpha$-keratin in human hair
This study suggested that electron spin resonance techniques can potentially measure gamma ray exposure in human hair samples, though variability and time sensitivity pose challenges for accurate dose estimation.

5 / 440 resultscommunity New & Improved Hair Growth Stack for Maximum Results
A user shared a hair growth stack using minoxidil sulfate, valproic acid, bimatoprost, blue copper peptide, and other ingredients, emphasizing a gel-based formula for better skin tolerance. Another user suggested adding a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor like finasteride or dutasteride for more effective long-term results.
community Is tazarotene potentially better than tretinoin in combination with topical minoxidil?
Tazarotene may be more effective than tretinoin when combined with topical minoxidil for hair loss due to its selective binding to RAR-beta and gamma, though it can cause irritation. Tazarotene's potency can lead to indirect inflammatory reactions despite potentially causing less irritation than tretinoin.
community [Discussion] Trichoscopy in sudden-onset AGA: Pathology and reversibility of "Yellow Dots" without 5AR-inhibitors?
Hair loss treatments discussed include microneedling, minoxidil, tretinoin, finasteride, dutasteride, pumpkin seeds, saw palmetto, and scalp massage. The consensus is that finasteride or dutasteride is necessary for significant regrowth, while other methods may only slow hair loss.
community here is why isotretinoin might cause hair loss and maybe why dupa happens.
Isotretinoin may cause hair loss by increasing DHT through a precursor androgen, DHEAS. Treatments like topical antiandrogens (RU58841, pyrilutamide) and drugs increasing PPAR-y expression (pioglitazone) might prevent this hair loss.
community Someone please offer reassurance
A 19-year-old male is experiencing hair shedding while using oral minoxidil, ketoconazole, dermastamping, and saw palmetto, and is considering switching to finasteride for better results. Users suggest that saw palmetto may not be effective and recommend finasteride instead, while also discussing other treatments like rosemary oil, peppermint oil, and pumpkin seed oil.
