research Gene Expression Analysis of Chondrogenic Markers in Hair Follicle Dermal Papilla Cells Under the Effect of Laser Photobiomodulation and Synovial Fluid
Laser treatment and synovial fluid can change hair follicle cells to resemble joint cells, with the changes being more significant when both treatments are used together.
research Major Histocompatibility Complex Class I Chain-Related Gene A Polymorphisms and Extended Haplotypes Are Associated with Familial Alopecia Areata
Certain genetic markers, especially the MICA gene, are linked to alopecia areata.
research JAK-Centric Explainable Few-Shot Gene-Expression Diagnosis Framework for Alopecia via MultiPLIER Priors and Relation-Style Set-to-Set Comparison
A new method helps diagnose alopecia areata using specific gene markers and could guide targeted treatments.
research Enrichment of Specific Hair Follicle-Associated Cell Populations in Plucked Hairs Offers an Opportunity to Study Gene Expression Underlying Hair Traits
Plucked hairs can be used instead of skin biopsies to study hair traits because they contain specific cells related to hair.
research Variation in the Exon 3–4 Region of Ovine KRT85 and Its Effect on Wool Traits
KRT85 gene variations can help improve wool traits in sheep through selective breeding.

5 / 452 resultscommunity Why dont we research more on body hair
Body hair is more resilient than scalp hair due to different gene expressions and DHT sensitivity. Treatments like minoxidil and finasteride are used for hair loss, but they have varying effects on body and scalp hair.
community Pirfenidone - The answer to fibrosis and baldness
Pirfenidone is suggested to treat fibrosis and baldness by blocking inflammation markers and reducing collagen. It is also available as a gel for scar removal.
community Switched from finasteride to dutasteride - 2 month update
The user switched from finasteride to dutasteride for hair loss treatment, but experienced increased libido, itchy scalp, and accelerated hair loss. Another user suggested that genetic variations might cause dutasteride to be less effective and recommended checking for specific genetic markers.
community Chromosome 20’s balding effects and why fin likely isn’t working for some.
Finasteride is effective for DHT/AR-driven hair loss but not for chromosome 20-driven cases, where treatments like minoxidil, prostaglandin analogs, and low-level laser therapy may be more beneficial. Genetic testing can help determine the underlying cause of hair loss to tailor treatment effectively.
community I have a theory about hair loss
Hair loss is often linked to inflammation and DHT, with treatments like finasteride, dutasteride, and minoxidil being effective for many. Natural remedies like turmeric and oils are discussed, but medications are generally seen as more reliable for managing genetic hair loss.
