research Taking Advantage of Phenotype Variability in a Local Animal Genetic Resource: Identification of Genomic Regions Associated with the Hairless Phenotype in Casertana Pigs
Researchers found two genes that may explain why some Casertana pigs don't have hair.
research Hague: A New Mouse Hair Mutation With an Unstable Semidominant Allele
A new mouse hair mutation, called hague, is semidominant and unstable, but the exact cause is unknown.
research The Mouse Hairy Ears Mutation Exhibits an Extended Growth (Anagen) Phase in Hair Follicles and Altered Hoxc Gene Expression in the Ears
The mouse hairy ears mutation causes longer ear hair due to changes in gene expression.
research The Naked (N) Mutation, Chromosome 15
The naked mutation in mice causes hair loss and helps identify keratin genes.
research The Shaven (Sha) Mutation, Chromosome 15
The Shaven mutation in mice affects hair growth and causes a greasy coat due to abnormal lipid content.

Some hair loss may be linked to chromosome 20, which isn't affected by DHT blockers like finasteride. Treatments like minoxidil, microneedling, and genetic testing are suggested, but their effectiveness for this type of hair loss is uncertain.
community Evidenced Based Meta-Analyses and Systemic Reviews of Androgenic Alopecia and Treatments
Evidence-based treatments for androgenic alopecia, such as minoxidil, finasteride, low-level laser light therapy, dutasteride, platelet-rich plasma, and topical ketoconazole. It discusses the efficacy, safety, and mechanism of action of these treatments, as well as future developments in understanding this polygenic condition.
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 What can finasteride do for you if you are destined to go NW6?
Finasteride can effectively slow or halt hair loss, even for those genetically predisposed to significant balding, like Norwood 6 or 7. Many users report long-term maintenance or improvement, often combining it with other treatments like Dutasteride or Minoxidil for better results.
community REVOLUTION in AUGUST: New possibilities according to Dr. Muñoz (pinacidil, cromakalim, diazoxide and nicorandil)
Dr. Muñoz's discovery suggests that targeting potassium channels in fibroblasts could reactivate hair growth, offering new treatment possibilities for alopecia. Potential strategies include using minoxidil, diazoxide, and other potassium channel openers, as well as bioelectric devices and direct growth factor applications.
