Genetic differences may affect COVID-19 deaths; anti-androgens could be potential treatment.
research The impact of certain genetic variants (single nucleotide polymorphisms) on incidence and severity of COVID‐19
Certain genetic differences may affect how likely someone is to get COVID-19 and how severe it might be.
research Transcriptome Profile at Different Physiological Stages Reveals Potential Mode for Curly Fleece in Chinese Tan Sheep
Genetic differences between young and old Tan sheep explain why their fleece changes from curly to straight as they age.
research Intraethnic variation in steroid-5-alpha-reductase polymorphisms in prostate cancer patients: a potential factor implicated in 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor treatment
Genetic differences within ethnic groups may affect prostate cancer treatment effectiveness.
research Defining the Cellular Environment in the Organ of Corti following Extensive Hair Cell Loss: A Basis for Future Sensory Cell Replacement in the Cochlea
The conclusion is that genetic differences affect how the cochlea heals after hair cell loss, which may challenge the creation of hearing loss treatments.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Verteporfin and Microneedling
Clinical studies by Dr. Barghouthi and Dr. Bloxham indicate that Verteporfin, when used with FUE and FUT hair transplantation methods, shows promise in hair follicle regeneration and minimal scarring due to its ability to inhibit Yes-associated protein (YAP). Microneedling at depths of 3-3.5mm, combined with Verteporfin, could potentially reactivate dormant follicles, although the optimal dosage and application method are still under investigation. Concerns remain about the DHT sensitivity of regenerated follicles, highlighting the need for further research to optimize trauma levels and Verteporfin concentrations to achieve effective and scar-free hair regeneration.
community Why is there more "fear" around on finasteride than around dutasteride
The conversation is about the comparison between finasteride and dutasteride for hair loss treatment. The conclusion is that there is more fear around finasteride due to its higher prevalence and being the first line of defense, while dutasteride is less commonly prescribed and used by those who have already tried finasteride without side effects.
community Why is dht bad for scalp hair but good for hair on the rest of body?
The conversation discusses why DHT (dihydrotestosterone) negatively affects scalp hair but promotes growth elsewhere on the body. Various opinions include genetic predispositions, differences in hair follicle reactions to DHT, and the potential role of Omega-3 in reducing inflammation and promoting hair health.
community Why is there so many people claiming Dutasteride destroyed their hair?
Some people claim Dutasteride worsened their hair loss, causing concern among users. Reasons suggested include initial shedding phases, incorrect attribution to Dutasteride when other factors are involved, genetic variations affecting drug response, and the possibility of non-authentic medication.
community 6 months progress (minox and keto only)
A female user's six-month progress with only minoxidil and ketoconazole, including their experiences before and after using the treatments. They also discussed the differences between male and female hair loss and suggested that meds may offer more progress, though some results can be had without them.
