research Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry Applied to The Identification And Quantification Of Animal Hair Fibers In Textile Products

January 2020

Researchers developed a method to identify and measure different animal hair fibers in textiles, successfully distinguishing materials like cashmere from cheaper fibers.

research Animal Hair Fibers

October 2014 in “Springer eBooks”

Rabbit hair fibers are similar to wool and have a hollow center like feathers.

research Development of a DNA-analytical Method for the Identification of Animal Hair Fibers in Textiles

46 citations , January 2009 in “Textile Research Journal”

This study presents a DNA-analytical method that can reliably identify and differentiate cashmere, fine wool, yak, and camel hair fibers in both untreated and processed samples.

research An Innovative Experimental Petrographic Study of Concrete Produced by Animal Bones and Human Hair Fibers

11 citations , July 2021 in “Sustainability”

In this study, researchers found that replacing natural aggregates with animal bones and human hair with increased microroughness may improve the mechanical strength and durability of concrete.

research Quantitative Analysis of Cashmere and Other Animal Hair Fibers in Textiles Using MALDI-TOF Mass Spectrometry

1 citations , January 2014 in “Sen'i Gakkaishi”

This study developed a quantitative method using SDS-PAGE and MALDI-TOF mass spectroscopy to accurately determine animal species from hair fibers, validated against standard samples and optical microscopy.

community No regrowth after oral min, topical fin, min, and tret: Aggressive diffuse/hairline recession in 2 years

in Is this regrowth? 117 upvotes 2 years ago

A user experienced no hair regrowth after using oral minoxidil, topical finasteride, minoxidil, and tretinoin, and reported side effects from oral finasteride. They are considering switching to dutasteride or using hair fibers for better results.

community Bee venom better than minoxidil?

in Research/Science 1061 upvotes 9 months ago

Bee venom at 0.001% concentration was more effective than 2% minoxidil in promoting hair growth in mice, possibly due to increased growth factors and reduced inflammation. Caution is advised due to potential allergic reactions and the reliance on animal data.

community Balding hair style feedback and advice

in Styling 127 upvotes 11 months ago

A 20-year-old with aggressive hair loss is using oral minoxidil and finasteride, considering a buzz cut to manage appearance. Most suggest a buzz cut or shaving, recommending patience with medication and possibly trying RU58841 or dutasteride.

community No motivation to workout because I’ll be bald no matter what

in Chat 78 upvotes 1 year ago

The conversation is about hair loss affecting motivation to work out. The original poster is using dutasteride and minoxidil and is considering a hair transplant.

community What I hate about being told to shave my head

in Chat 258 upvotes 1 year ago

Hair loss challenges and identity issues, with opinions on using finasteride, minoxidil, and hair transplants versus accepting baldness. Some find shaving more work, while others stress personal choice and self-perception.

learn procapil

Want to stop hormonal hair loss without touching your hormone levels? Procapil could block the enzyme doing the damage. Procapil's supplier describes it as inhibiting 5-alpha reductase at the scalp without changing hormone levels, but the published support is cell and animal work plus one small human study of a caffeine-plus-Procapil formula. It is a cosmetic ingredient, not an approved hair-loss treatment, and no trial has compared it with finasteride or minoxidil.

learn Follistatin

What is follistatin, and how does it influence hair follicle growth and regeneration? Follistatin blocks activin and related growth-inhibiting proteins, which in laboratory and animal work is described as keeping hair follicles in their growth phase; the only verifiable human evidence is a single small 2011 phase 1 injection trial, so follistatin remains experimental and is not an approved hair-loss treatment.

learn Latanoprost

How long does it usually take to see results from latanoprost for hair growth? There is no established timeline: the only human scalp trial, a 16-man pilot, measured a hair-density increase at 24 weeks using latanoprost 0.1% — twenty times the strength of the glaucoma eye drop — and faster figures quoted elsewhere come from eyelash and animal observations. Scalp use is off-label and experimental.
How does latanoprost work to make eyelashes and possibly scalp hair grow? Studies report that latanoprost, a prostaglandin analog, lengthens the anagen (growth) phase of hair follicles, which is the mechanism given for the eyelash thickening seen in glaucoma patients; on the scalp the evidence is one 16-man pilot study and animal work, so the effect there is unproven.

learn GHK-Cu

What is GHK-Cu and why is it said to be a "miracle" for hair? GHK-Cu is a copper peptide studied mainly for wound healing and skin repair; for hair loss the evidence stops at cell-culture and animal work, and no published human trial has tested it for androgenetic alopecia.
