5 / 1000+ resultsresearch The Intermediate Filament Architecture as Determined by X-Ray Diffraction Modeling of Hard α-Keratin
Hard α-keratin in hair has a unique, nonordered structure, different from other fibers.
research Cryo-Electron Microscopy of Trichocyte (Hard α-Keratin) Intermediate Filaments Reveals a Low-Density Core
This study reports that trichocyte intermediate filaments from rat vibrissae and human hair follicles may contain a hollow region at their core, suggesting unique structural properties.
research Convergent Evolution of Cysteine-Rich Keratins in Hard Skin Appendages of Terrestrial Vertebrates
This study suggests that the keratins found in reptile and bird skin appendages evolved independently from mammalian hair keratins, highlighting convergent evolution in these species.
research Hard alpha-keratin degradation inside a tissue under high flux X-ray synchrotron micro-beam: A multi-scale time-resolved study
This study found that the molecular structure of hair is more sensitive to synchrotron X-ray radiation than its supramolecular architecture, indicating potential concerns for biological analyses using such radiation.
research Induction of Hard Keratin Expression in Non-Nail-Matrical Keratinocytes by Nail-Matrical Fibroblasts through Epithelial-Mesenchymal Interactions
This study indicates that nail-matrical fibroblasts can induce hard keratin expression in non-nail-matrical keratinocytes, suggesting potential for using non-nail-matrical epidermal grafts to treat nail injuries.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Additional supplements / peptides to maximize finasteride benefit
The user is using finasteride, HGH, GHK-CU, BPC-157, KPV, biotin/collagen/keratin vitamins, ketoconazole shampoo, and low-dose naltrexone to address hair loss, avoiding minoxidil due to past shedding experiences. Adenosine is discussed as a potential alternative to minoxidil, though it is noted to be expensive and hard to find.
community a new supplement just released
A dermatologist recommended a new supplement containing annurca apple, which reportedly doubles hair density and increases keratin after 60 days, to be used with finasteride. Some users are skeptical, considering it potentially ineffective or a marketing ploy, while others are open to trying it if it proves effective and affordable.
community Finally seeing some progress 24M
A 24-year-old male experienced hair loss and side effects from oral finasteride and minoxidil, but saw progress with a topical solution of minoxidil and finasteride, alongside dermastamping and vitamin supplements. He uses 2% Nizoral and keratin shampoo for hair care.
community Weed/THC effects on hair growth/hair loss, and vitality of organ-culture human follicle studies (research review)
Cannabis and THC may have mixed effects on hair, with some studies suggesting potential negative impacts on hair growth in isolated hair follicles, but these results are hard to apply to living humans. Treatments like minoxidil and finasteride are commonly used for hair loss, and the effects of cannabis might be neutral or vary based on individual factors.
community Dec 2024 vs now (min + fin/dut)
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.
