research The Chicken Frizzle Feather Is Due to an Alpha-Keratin (KRT75) Mutation That Causes a Defective Rachis
The study identified a mutation in the α-keratin gene KRT75 as the cause of the frizzle feather phenotype in chickens, characterized by a defective rachis and altered feather structure. This mutation involved a 69-bp in-frame deletion, leading to protein dysfunction and affecting keratin dimerization. The frizzle gene was transmitted in an autosomal incomplete dominant mode. Experimental approaches, including retroviral-mediated expression and misexpression studies, confirmed the mutation's impact on feather morphology, highlighting the role of α-keratins in feather development. The research suggested potential physiological effects of the mutation and emphasized the importance of genetic approaches in understanding feather morphology and evolution.

5 / 511 resultscommunity IVF process on Finasteride and effects of stopping finasteride.
Concerns about finasteride affecting sperm quality and embryo abnormalities during IVF. The user plans to stop finasteride for 6 months and use minoxidil, microneedling, a red light cap, and saw palmetto shampoo to manage hair loss.
community Fresh off the press: Dutasteride may cause chronic infertility
Dutasteride may cause chronic infertility by reducing semen volume and motility, with concerns about irreversible prostate fibrosis. Users consider switching to finasteride or using treatments like minoxidil and microneedling, weighing hair preservation against fertility.
community Honestly have no idea but I’m trying to be hopeful lol
The conversation discusses hair loss and the emotional impact it has on individuals. Treatments mentioned include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
community Jason Sorgi Boston Hair Restoration- revived me from the ashes lol (5 months)
A user is very satisfied with their hair transplant results, despite choosing a straight hairline against the doctor's advice for a more natural look. Some commenters think the hairline looks artificial, while others discuss the importance of a natural-looking hairline and inquire about any medications used post-transplant.
community Oral Minoxidil - Multiple Facial Hair in One Follicle / Pili Multigemini Question
Oral minoxidil can cause multiple facial hairs to grow from one follicle, known as Pili Multigemini, leading to ingrown hairs and zits. Users report increased facial and body hair growth, with some experiencing fewer issues after switching to dutasteride.
