research Grey, curly and short-haired Swiss Holstein cattle show genetic traces of the Simmental breed
This study found that Swiss cattle exhibiting rat-tail syndrome are heterozygous for genetic variants linked to pigmentation and color dilution, likely due to Holstein introgression in the Simmental breed.
research 642 Uncovering the role of UV exposure history and genetics in determining skin sun damage
This study found that facial sun damage scores from UV photography correlate with skin cancer and melanoma risk factors, suggesting this technology may help identify individuals at higher risk.
research XX/XY chimerism in tortoiseshell tomcats – a new case and review of the literature
This study found that a young male Maine Coon cat with a tortoiseshell coat, which typically indicates unusual sex chromosomes, was fertile, carrying both XX and XY cell lines. The researchers recommend genetic testing for tri-colored male cats before breeding decisions.

A 51-year-old woman switched from Minoxidil to Maneup, a copper peptide treatment, experiencing initial hair loss but later regrowth with different hair texture. Users debated Maneup's effectiveness, with some considering it alongside finasteride.
community How does Pedro P have a full head of hear. I'm losing mine and will be bald within 1 year. I'm not even 30yo.
Pedro Pascal's full head of hair is likely due to genetics, finasteride, and possibly hair transplants. Many actors use finasteride to maintain their hair.
community If we can clone a sheep why we can't cure baldness till now
Hair loss treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, and stem cell therapies exist, but a complete cure is hindered by genetic complexity and market dynamics. Cloning hair follicles is considered a potential solution, but it's currently not feasible.
community The curious case of John Cazale’s hair
John Cazale's hairline showed strong recession at the temples but maintained solid volume and density, sparking discussion on different hair loss patterns and the importance of overall hair density. Treatments like Minoxidil and Spironolactone were mentioned as potential factors in maintaining hair, though genetics and styling were also considered significant.
community started balding at 15, currently 19 and I'm honestly so depressed
A 19-year-old is struggling with hair loss despite using minoxidil and finasteride, feeling depressed and lacking confidence. Suggestions include trying dutasteride, topical treatments, hair transplants, or accepting baldness.

1 / 801 results- Thinning hair over time? It might not just be genetics: lack of B1 and B2 could be silently working against you. There is no verified human trial showing that B1 or B2 deficiency causes thinning hair or that correcting it regrows hair; a 2019 review concludes the role of micronutrients in hair loss is real but unclear and still needs controlled trials.
