research De novo filament formation by human hair keratins K85 and K35 follows a filament development pattern distinct from cytokeratin filament networks

2 citations , February 2021 in “FEBS open bio”

In this study, transfection experiments showed that mutations in the K85 gene affect filament formation with K35, which may impact hair formation related to ectodermal dysplasia.

research Sequence analyses of Type I and Type II chains in human hair and epithelial keratin intermediate filaments: Promiscuous obligate heterodimers, Type II template for molecule formation and a rationale for heterodimer formation

19 citations , December 2006 in “Journal of Structural Biology”

Type I and Type II keratin chains can form heterodimers despite sequence differences.

research In vivo formation steps of the hard α-keratin intermediate filament along a hair follicle: Evidence for structural polymorphism

22 citations , January 2006 in “Journal of Structural Biology”

Hair follicles form hard α-keratin filaments in four steps, showing structural differences.

research The role of disulfide bond formation in the structural transition observed in the intermediate filaments of developing hair

39 citations , June 2012 in “Journal of Structural Biology”

Disulfide bonds are crucial for hair structure during keratinization.

research Keratin formation in the hair follicle

34 citations , August 1966 in “Experimental cell research”

This study examined developing hair cortex with electron microscopy and found that keratin fibrils form between specific regions in hair follicles and aggregate into twisted cables.

community Common hair-loss drug consistently associated with higher rates of psychiatric harm

in Research/Science 183 upvotes 1 year ago

Finasteride and dutasteride can cause psychiatric side effects like depression and suicidal thoughts in some users, especially those with a history of mental health issues. While some users experience positive hair growth results, others face severe psychological effects, raising concerns about their safety and the need for careful monitoring.

community Sebaceous filaments / blackheads on scalp - are they a cause of MPB or a symptom?

in Research/Science 1 upvotes 2 months ago

Sebaceous filaments or blackheads on the scalp are not a cause of hair loss; it's more likely due to hormonal factors, particularly in androgen-sensitive areas like the temples and crown. The user is using topical finasteride, minoxidil, and tretinoin for treatment.
