research Variation in Muskox (Ovibos moschatus) Guard Hair Growth Rates: Implications for Measuring Chronological Biomarkers

April 2024 in “Journal of wildlife diseases”

This study reported that captive muskoxen in Fairbanks, Alaska have significantly faster and variable guard hair growth rates compared to free-ranging Greenland muskoxen, indicating that a universal hair growth rate cannot be applied across different muskox populations or time periods.

research Evaluation of Comprehensive Hormonal and Growth Factor Biomarker Panel in Female Pattern Hair Loss

August 2026 in “ACTA MEDICA IRANICA”

This study found that women with female pattern hair loss exhibited hormonal imbalances, with the Free Androgen Index being a particularly effective diagnostic marker.

research Ultrahigh-Power Sonicator Lysis Enables Deep Proteomic Profiling of Hair Shafts for Fetal Growth Restriction Biomarker Discovery

November 2025 in “Analytical Chemistry”

This study developed an ultrahigh-power sonicator to improve protein extraction from hair shafts, followed by advanced proteomic analysis, identifying 239 differentially expressed proteins in fetal growth restriction cases compared to healthy controls, which were validated as potential biomarkers for perinatal diagnostics.

research Ultrahigh-Power Sonicator Lysis Enables Deep ProteomicProfiling of Hair Shafts for Fetal Growth Restriction Biomarker Discovery

November 2025 in “OPAL (Open@LaTrobe) (La Trobe University)”

This study developed a new method using ultrahigh-power sonication and mass spectrometry to improve protein extraction from hair shafts, identifying 239 differentially expressed proteins related to fetal growth restriction, which were validated as potential noninvasive biomarkers for perinatal diagnostics.

research 72676 Dysregulated circulating protein biomarkers are correlative with hair loss and predictive of hair growth in alopecia areata

community Bruteforcing alopecia or the new advent of science progress

22 upvotes 1 year ago

Combining therapies like scyllo-inositol, alpha-ketoglutarate, and autophagy-inducing supplements may enhance hair growth and prevent hair loss. Reporting individual results can accelerate progress in hair loss treatments.

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 Dutasteride absolutely nukes hair DHT

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 486 upvotes 1 year ago

Dutasteride significantly reduces DHT levels, potentially more effectively than finasteride, and is used to treat hair loss. Some users report side effects like reduced libido and mood changes, while others experience hair regrowth and increased testosterone.

learn Biotin

B vitamin, often sold as a hair supplement

Vitamins vs. minoxidil: who wins the battle for hair growth? Topical minoxidil is approved for pattern hair loss and has trial evidence; reviews find that reported benefits of vitamins such as biotin come mainly from people with a deficiency. The FDA warns that biotin supplements can make some blood tests give wrong results.
Biotinyl-GHK: a miracle ingredient against hair loss? Biotinyl-GHK (biotinoyl tripeptide-1) is a cosmetic ingredient, not an approved hair-loss medicine; the published studies test it only inside multi-ingredient complexes such as Procapil, so no result can be attributed to the peptide itself.
Biotin: the darling of hair products. A 2017 review found that every published case of biotin helping hair was in a person with a biotin deficiency (which is rare) or another underlying condition, and no good evidence that it helps healthy people. The FDA warns that biotin can make some blood tests give wrong results.

learn Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor

Can products that stimulate Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) improve blood flow to hair follicles? Unproven. Raising VEGF increases vessels around follicles in mice and minoxidil raises VEGF in cultured cells, but no study shows VEGF-marketed products improve scalp blood flow or hair loss in people.

learn SCUBE3

Signalling protein made in the hair follicle

What is SCUBE3 and why is it being studied as a potential breakthrough for hair regrowth? SCUBE3 is a signaling protein that made resting hair follicles start growing in mouse experiments in a 2022 study. It has not been tested in people and is not an approved treatment.
