research Quantitation of human mitochondrial DNA and whole mtGenomes sequencing of fingernail/hair shaft samples

3 citations , February 2024 in “Forensic Sciences Research”

In this study, researchers found that massively parallel sequencing of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) can improve information recovery from forensic samples, with successful full region amplification possible from as few as 2,000 mtDNA copies, albeit with variability in heteroplasmy among hair samples from the same donor.

research Forensic DNA phenotyping: A promising tool to predict human appearance for forensic purposes

May 2023 in “GSC biological and pharmaceutical sciences”

According to this study, forensic DNA phenotyping using Next Generation Sequencing can reliably predict certain visible traits like eye, hair, and skin color, though its routine implementation in forensics is hindered by incomplete genetic knowledge and ethical concerns in some countries.

research Effects of Hair dyes on Sequence Analysis of Hair Mitochondrial DNA Hypervariable Region 1

2 citations , January 2017 in “Journal of Biotechnology Research Center”

This study found that hair dyes significantly affect DNA sequence analysis, with the organic extraction method performing better on hair shafts and the prepFiler kit yielding higher success for follicle-included samples.

research Development of a DNA-analytical Method for the Identification of Animal Hair Fibers in Textiles

46 citations , January 2009 in “Textile Research Journal”

This study presents a DNA-analytical method that can reliably identify and differentiate cashmere, fine wool, yak, and camel hair fibers in both untreated and processed samples.

research Integumentary System

May 2025

This chapter emphasizes the critical role of the integumentary system in animal physiology, detailing its structures, immune functions, and sensory capabilities as crucial for homeostasis, protection, and various physiological processes.

community We already know how to permanently fix hair loss. The science is done. The only thing missing is the funding to run one experiment.

in Technology 613 upvotes 4 months ago

A permanent hair loss solution could involve reprogramming hair follicles to resist DHT using mRNA and siRNA. However, high costs, safety concerns, and the pharmaceutical industry's preference for ongoing treatments over one-time cures are major obstacles, with finasteride and minoxidil remaining standard treatments.

community Genomic Sequencing for Hair Loss

in Research/Science 156 upvotes 6 months ago

Hair loss treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, and potential mRNA therapies are discussed. There is skepticism about targeting specific genes due to the complex genetic nature of hair loss.

community Creatine Does Not Increase DHT And Does Not Cause Hair Loss - Randomized Controlled Trial

308 upvotes 1 year ago

Creatine does not increase DHT levels or cause hair loss. Personal experiences vary, but scientific evidence shows no link between creatine and hair loss.

community My story: Trying to halt diffuse hair loss for past couple of years but got acute hair fall after quitting minoxidil and finasteride on my dermatologist recommendation

9 upvotes 1 year ago

A 22-year-old man experienced significant hair loss after stopping minoxidil and finasteride, causing emotional distress. He resumed these treatments and is considering dutasteride and microneedling to manage his hair loss.

community 57% increased chance of pattern hair loss independently associated with the consumption of sugary beverages in men (p<0.001).

297 upvotes 2 years ago

Sugary beverages increase the risk of pattern hair loss in men by 57%, and type 2 diabetes is linked to female pattern hair loss. Reducing sugar intake and using treatments like finasteride and minoxidil may help manage hair loss.
