5 / 1000+ resultsresearch Investigation of pH Effect on Cationic Solute Binding to Keratin and Partition to Hair
Solute binding to hair keratin is mainly driven by hydrophobic interactions and changes with pH.
research The Viscoelastic Properties of Chemically Modified Alpha-Keratins in Human Hair
Chemical modifications can alter hair's stability and flexibility, with hydrophobic interactions helping maintain structure in humid conditions.
research Exploring the Effects of Wetting and Free Fatty Acid Deposition on a Hair Fiber Surface Model Incorporating Keratin Associated Protein 5-1
Water and fatty acids affect hair's surface differently based on hair damage, and models can help understand hair-cosmetic interactions.
research The Adsorption Behavior of Cationic Surfactant onto Human Hair Fibers
A certain surfactant sticks to human hair, making it change from water-repelling to water-attracting, which could help in hair conditioning.
research Regulation of Receptor Binding Specificity of FGF9 by an Autoinhibitory Homodimerization
FGF9 controls which receptors it binds to through a process where two FGF9 molecules join, and changes in FGF9 can lead to incorrect receptor activation.

5 / 52 resultscommunity The most depressing things about hair loss for me
The emotional impact of hair loss and the risks associated with common treatments such as finasteride, dutasteride, minoxidil, RU58841, and Fluridil. People discussed their personal experiences with these treatments, including potential side effects and lowered fertility. Hair transplants were also mentioned as a possible solution.
community Hydrophobic Finasteride. Why don’t we have it?
The conversation discusses the potential benefits of creating a hydrophobic version of finasteride to reduce systemic side effects while maintaining scalp health. It compares this idea to fluridil, which is designed to be hydrophobic and has less systemic absorption.
community Why is dutasteride's volume of distribution so much bigger than finasteride? Is it more lipophilic and crosses barriers better?
Dutasteride has a larger volume of distribution than finasteride due to its lipophilic nature, allowing it to concentrate in hydrophobic areas and making it difficult to excrete. A user experiencing hair loss has been using oral finasteride for 10 months with minimal regrowth and is considering switching to dutasteride or adding oral minoxidil.
community Stacking Fluridil / Topilutamide with other + aqueous topicals?
The conversation discusses how to use fluridil/topilutamide with other hair loss treatments like liquid minoxidil and CB-03-01, considering fluridil's hydrophobic nature and potential degradation with water. The user questions the necessity of washing hair only once per week as suggested by the manufacturer.
community Experiences with RU58841? Any results?
RU58841 is discussed for hair loss treatment, with mixed reviews on its effectiveness and side effects. Users mention using it in an ethanol/PG solution and combining it with other treatments like dutasteride.
