research Prioritizing Susceptibility Genes for the Prognosis of Male-pattern Baldness with Transcriptome-wide Association Study

January 2024 in “Research Square (Research Square)”

This study identified robust susceptibility genes and potential drug candidates for male-pattern baldness, providing insights into the condition's molecular mechanisms.

research Genetics and Epigenetics of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

October 2023 in “IntechOpen eBooks”

This book chapter reviews the genetic and epigenetic factors influencing PCOS, particularly in a global context and specific to India, and reports no new clinical findings.

research CRISPR/Cas9: A Promising Approach for Alopecia

January 2024 in “Biomedical journal of scientific & technical research”

In this research, OssDsign Catalyst™, a new nanosynthetic, silicate-enriched calcium phosphate bone graft substitute, is described as promoting early bone formation through its high silicate content and nanoscale structure, although no specific results are reported in the abstract.

research Convergent Decay of Skin-specific Gene Modules in Pangolins

1 citations , December 2022 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)”

This study investigated pangolin skin genetics, finding that while sweat gland-related genes are not inactivated, several genes related to sebaceous gland function are, which highlights complex evolutionary adaptations in mammalian skin.

research Situation-Specific Purposes and Epistemic Games: A Framework for Teaching the Evaluation of Causal Information

1 citations , July 2025 in “Science & Education”

This study introduces a framework to help laypeople evaluate scientific information based on its relevance to specific needs by categorizing causal information into two epistemic games, enhancing their ability to make informed decisions, with a focus on genetics education for practical application.

community Which markers and nutrients could contribute to hair health in context of checking for deficiencies?

4 upvotes 1 year ago

Hair loss is primarily genetic, and nutrient deficiencies are unlikely to be the cause. DHT inhibitors can slow hair loss, but concerns about side effects are common.

community Could male-pattern baldness have a secondary photobiological function? The Solar Window Hypothesis

11 upvotes 2 weeks ago

Male-pattern baldness might increase UVB exposure on the scalp, potentially affecting vitamin D and skeletal health. The hypothesis is debated, with some seeing it as a minor benefit in specific contexts.

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.
