This case report describes a rare instance of a Chinese Crested dog with leukocyte chimerism, normal female external genitalia, and hormonally active Sertoli cell tumors, demonstrating surgery as a curative treatment option.
research Mapping of monilethrix to the type II keratin gene cluster at chromosome 12q13 in three new families, including one with variable expressivity
This study found that monilethrix in three unrelated European families is linked to the type II keratin gene cluster on chromosome 12q13, with no evidence of defects in type I keratins.
research Disorders of Sex Development
This review explores disorders of sex development, emphasizing the need for a systematic, multidisciplinary approach and the benefits of genetic testing for better diagnosis and gender assignment planning, but it reports no new clinical findings.
research A new mutation in the type II hair cortex keratin hHb1 involved in the inherited hair disorder monilethrix
In this study, researchers found that the prevalent Glu 410 Lys mutation in hHb6 and a new Glu 403 Lys mutation in hHb1 are linked to monilethrix, suggesting a mutational hotspot in type II hair keratins.

5 / 35 resultscommunity IVF process on Finasteride and effects of stopping finasteride.
Concerns about finasteride affecting sperm quality and embryo abnormalities during IVF. The user plans to stop finasteride for 6 months and use minoxidil, microneedling, a red light cap, and saw palmetto shampoo to manage hair loss.
community How ET-02 Works. Also no proof that it's better than Minoxidil. At least for now.
ET-02, a PAI-1 inhibitor, is not proven to be more effective than Minoxidil for hair loss. Other treatments like finasteride, dutasteride, PP405, and AMP-303 are also discussed, focusing on cellular senescence and oxidative stress.
community Why not just take the drugs before hair loss?
Finasteride and dutasteride are discussed as preventative treatments for hair loss, with some advocating for early use and others concerned about side effects, especially before full maturity. Many regret not starting these treatments earlier due to their effectiveness in preventing or slowing hair loss.
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
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 My 2 Years Progress (Hair Recovery)
A person shared their hair regrowth journey using HIMS topical treatments with finasteride, minoxidil, hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and microneedling. They also discussed their transition as a transgender woman and the positive impact of HRT on hair recovery.
