research Characterization of the Human Hair Keratin–Associated Protein 2 (KRTAP2) Gene Family

52 citations , April 2012 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

This study found that KRTAP2 proteins predominantly express in the hair shaft cortex of humans, interact with hair keratins, and play crucial roles in hair shaft keratinization.

research Hair Keratin Associated Proteins: Characterization of a Second High Sulfur KAP Gene Domain on Human Chromosome 2111In fond memory of Dr Peter Steinert.

62 citations , January 2004 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology”

This study identified 16 novel high sulfur KAP genes and two KAP pseudogenes on chromosome 21q23, showing expression in a specific region of the hair fiber cuticle.

research Characterization of a gene encoding a cysteine-rich keratin associated protein synthesized late in rabbit hair follicle differentiation

26 citations , March 1995 in “Differentiation”

This study isolated and sequenced the complete gene rKAP4L1, which encodes a cysteine-rich hair keratin-associated protein in rabbit hair follicles.

research Human KAP Genes, Only the Half of it? Extensive Size Polymorphisms in Hair Keratin-Associated Protein Genes

53 citations , June 2005 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology”

This article reviews extensive genetic polymorphisms in the keratin-associated proteins of human hair, indicating complexity but reporting no new clinical results and calls for further research on their potential impact on hair structure.

research Expression of novel keratin associated protein 5 genes in the cuticle layer of human hair follicles

6 citations , April 2005 in “Journal of dermatological science”

This study identified the expression sites of five KAP5 genes on human chromosome 11q13.5 in scalp skin sections but did not explore their detailed distribution within hair follicles.

community Keratin microspheres - breakthrough

14 upvotes 2 years ago

A gel of keratin microspheres promotes hair follicle growth, showing similar effectiveness to minoxidil in mice. The treatment activates hair growth pathways and reduces inflammation, with potential applications in drug delivery for hair-related disorders.

community Dec 2024 vs now (min + fin/dut)

in Progress Pictures 27 upvotes 10 months ago

The user experienced hair thickening and reduced shedding using minoxidil, finasteride, and dutasteride, with a switch from finasteride to dutasteride due to ineffectiveness. They also use a saw palmetto shampoo and take vitamin D3 supplements, while considering potential underlying causes like vitamin deficiencies and hard water buildup.

community Comprehensive Microneedling Guide

292 upvotes 4 years ago

Microneedling for hair restoration involves daily use of a 0.3 mm device and weekly use of a 0.5 mm device. Combining microneedling with Minoxidil can enhance hair growth.

community [DISCUSSION] Besides fin,min and keto what else should people be doing to reverse/stop hair loss?

in Chat 6 upvotes 1 year ago

The conversation discusses various treatments for hair loss, including finasteride, minoxidil, keto shampoo, derma stamping, vitamin D, and dutasteride. It also mentions lifestyle changes like exercise, quitting smoking, and dietary supplements.

Are keratin treatments good for people with alopecia, or do they only improve the hair’s appearance? Keratin treatments improve hair appearance but do not address alopecia or stimulate growth.
What role does keratin play in strengthening weak or thinning hair? Keratin is the protein hair is made of. Keratin products can make existing hair look smoother and break less, but they do not prevent thinning or hereditary hair loss.
Is keratin in shampoos and conditioners actually absorbed by the hair, or does it just coat the surface? Keratin in shampoos mainly coats the hair rather than being absorbed.
