Topical minoxidil effectively promotes hair regrowth in male pattern baldness.
research High-coverage genome of the Tyrolean Iceman reveals unusually high Anatolian farmer ancestry
The Tyrolean Iceman had mostly Anatolian farmer ancestry and traits like darker skin and a risk for certain health issues.
research Genome-wide association meta-analysis of individuals of European ancestry identifies new loci explaining a substantial fraction of hair color variation and heritability
New genetic locations explain much of hair color variation in Europeans.
research Predicting hair cortisol levels with hair pigmentation genes: a possible hair pigmentation bias
Darker hair may lead to higher cortisol readings, suggesting a need to adjust for hair color in studies.
research Prevalence of female pattern hair loss in a multiracial population
Female pattern hair loss affects 32.3% of women, increasing with age and showing no racial differences.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity CRISPR Is Curing People Right Now. Genetic Hair Loss is Next?
CRISPR shows promise for treating hair loss by targeting specific genes. Current treatments include Minoxidil and finasteride, but CRISPR could offer a more precise solution, though it is still expensive and in early stages.
community Why do we have head hair in first place if we evolved to start losing it in some cases as soon as puberty hits
Hair loss is influenced by genetics and sensitivity to hormones like DHT. Treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride are commonly used, and baldness persists as it doesn't affect reproductive success.
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 Balding without a family history
The user is experiencing hair loss without a family history and suspects stress or telogen effluvium (TE) as the cause, despite using finasteride without results. Others suggest stress, vitamin deficiencies, or other conditions could be factors, and some mention that balding can occur without a family history.
community One year progress pics, fin only
The user showed a one-year hair regrowth progress using finasteride only, after stopping minoxidil due to its toxicity to cats. They noticed hair growth around six or seven months into treatment.
