research Review: Evolution and diversification of corneous beta‐proteins, the characteristic epidermal proteins of reptiles and birds

72 citations , December 2018 in “Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B Molecular and Developmental Evolution”

This review provides an overview of the molecular evolution of corneous beta-proteins in reptiles and birds, highlighting their distinct genetic origin and role in epidermal structures, but reports no new results.

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.

research Dermal niche signaling and epidermal stem cells

January 2019 in “Advances in stem cells and their niches”

This review outlines the various fibroblast subsets in the skin dermis, their origins, and their influence on epidermal stem cell behavior, highlighting the role of the local dermal niche in stem cell plasticity.

research An Overview on Functional and Structural Properties of Monomeric and Multimeric β-Thymosin in Invertebrates

3 citations , November 2021 in “Protein and Peptide Letters”

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 Did anybody use beta sisterol for hair loss? I saw in many articles in the internet that said that beta sisterol blocks dht by inhibiting 5a reductase type 2 enzyme and some reviews of people who said that it worked better than saw palmetto in terms of stoping hair loss and helping prostate.

in Research/Science 9 upvotes 3 years ago

Beta-sitosterol may inhibit 5-alpha reductase type 2 enzyme, potentially reducing DHT levels and promoting hair growth, similar to finasteride but possibly with fewer side effects. Its effectiveness and side effects compared to other treatments like saw palmetto and finasteride remain uncertain due to limited research.

community Anyone take Beta Blocker and notice hair thinning?

4 upvotes 5 years ago

Beta blockers may cause hair thinning as a side effect. The user is concerned about this and seeks others' experiences with hair loss while using beta blockers.

What is Thymosin Beta 4, and why is it being researched in relation to hair follicle function and regeneration? Thymosin Beta 4 is a peptide being researched for its potential to enhance hair follicle regeneration.
How is Thymosin Beta 4 typically incorporated into experimental or advanced hair growth products? Thymosin Beta 4 is not an ingredient in any approved or regulated hair-loss product — it is an unapproved research peptide (sold online as TB-500). Published hair studies are in rats and mice only, from one research group; there are no human trials, and the same literature reports it can promote tumour growth.
What role does Thymosin Beta 4 play in scalp biology compared to traditional hair loss treatments? Thymosin Beta 4 may enhance scalp biology but lacks extensive clinical validation compared to traditional treatments.
