5 / 1000+ resultsresearch Lanceolate Hair (lah): A Recessive Mouse Mutation with Alopecia and Abnormal Hair
This research reports a new autosomal recessive mutation in mice, 'lanceolate hair', causing generalized alopecia and hair shaft abnormalities, which may serve as a model for Netherton's syndrome in humans.
research Dissecting hair breakage in alopecia areata: the central role of dysregulated cysteine homeostasis
This review identifies cysteine's central role in hair growth and its potential impact on Alopecia Areata's pathogenesis, suggesting examination of cysteine metabolism might clarify the disease's underlying mechanisms and lead to new treatments.
research Monilethrix: Beaded hair and hypotrichosis in a child
In this clinical case study, a 9-year-old girl was diagnosed with monilethrix, a hereditary hair shaft disorder characterized by weak, beaded hair, with management focusing on minimizing hair trauma.
research The hair shaft: normality, abnormality, and genetics
This article discusses the complexities in diagnosing hair shaft disorders and the potential insights hair microscopy can provide, without reporting new clinical findings.

3 / 1000+ resultscommunity 1 Month on Dutasteride (0.5mg) + Supplements – Seeing Thickness But No New Hairs Yet. Is That Normal?
A 31-year-old woman is using Dutasteride (0.5mg daily) and supplements like a multivitamin, Herbadal, pumpkin seed oil, and vitamin D for genetic hair loss, noticing thicker hair but no new growth after one month. She is considering adding minoxidil and is aware of Dutasteride's risks, especially regarding pregnancy.
community Chromosome 20’s balding effects and why fin likely isn’t working for some.
Finasteride is effective for DHT/AR-driven hair loss but not for chromosome 20-driven cases, where treatments like minoxidil, prostaglandin analogs, and low-level laser therapy may be more beneficial. Genetic testing can help determine the underlying cause of hair loss to tailor treatment effectively.
community Why Is No One Talking About Chromosome 20?
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.
