This study documents dominant transmission and complete penetrance of uncombable hair syndrome in a family, despite the father lacking visible abnormalities.
research Expression of MK6a dominant-negative and C-terminal mutant transgenes in mice has distinct phenotypic consequences in the epidermis and hair follicle
This study found that expression of certain mutant keratin genes in mice led to severe alopecia, suggesting a similar mechanism could cause hair loss in humans.

5 / 109 resultscommunity Why some people experience problems on Finasteride/Dutasteride (my theory)
Some people have side effects from finasteride and dutasteride due to hormonal predisposition, especially if DHT dominant. Alternatives like RU58841, Pyrilutamide, and Breezula are suggested to target scalp androgen receptors without altering overall hormones.
community Debunking Androgenetic Theory (Hair Transplants)
The post discusses a theory that hair regrowth after transplant is due to the angiogenesis process (new blood vessels forming), not because the transplanted hair is unaffected by DHT. The responses highlight the established belief in 'donor dominance' (the importance of the hair's origin in transplantation) and skepticism about the new theory.
community Realistic timeline for hair regeneration and follicle cloning?
Hair regeneration and follicle cloning are considered far from being feasible, with current treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and hair transplants expected to remain dominant for the next 15-20 years. Some are hopeful that AI advancements might accelerate progress, but many remain skeptical about significant breakthroughs in the near future.
community Considering quitting vegetarianism (telogen effluvium)
A vegetarian with IBS is considering reintroducing fish to improve gut and hair health due to protein concerns. Suggestions include adding tofu, avoiding vegan protein shakes, and considering a more carb/fat dominant diet.
community What to look Forward to in 2025
Hair loss treatments are advancing, with Coegin Pharma's FOL005 expected this year and Breezula potentially later. Pyrilutamide is available but not very effective, while Kintor's products face skepticism; traditional treatments like finasteride and minoxidil remain dominant.
