Reptile skin hardens by layering beta-proteins on keratin.
research Cyclic Hair Loss and Regrowth in Transgenic Mice Overexpressing an Intermediate Filament Gene
Mice with extra sheep genes had hair that fell out and regrew in cycles.
research The Process of Cornification Evolved From the Initial Keratinization in the Epidermis and Epidermal Derivatives of Vertebrates: A New Synthesis and the Case of Sauropsids
Cornification evolved from keratinization in vertebrates, with differences between mammals and sauropsids.
research Review: Evolution And Diversification Of Corneous Beta-Proteins, The Characteristic Epidermal Proteins Of Reptiles And Birds

5 / 41 resultscommunity When counting hairs, should I be including vellus/baby hairs?
The conversation is about whether vellus hair should be included in hair fall counts, with data showing daily hair loss. The consensus is that shedding, including vellus hair, is normal and within physiological limits.
community Do you guys have very thin hairs that don’t grow where you lost hair?
Thin, short hairs often appear in areas of hair loss but may not grow fully despite treatments like finasteride. Some users consider additional treatments like microneedling or hair transplants.
community the ordinary retinol & minoxidil
Using retinol with minoxidil may not be as effective as tretinoin, but retinaldehyde or adapalene could be alternatives. A micro-roller with minoxidil is suggested for better results.
community Chlorine dioxide: An effective product?
Chlorine dioxide was discussed as a potential hair growth treatment, with a method involving spraying it on the scalp and covering it with a cap. Concerns were raised about its safety, comparing it to bleach.
community If PP405 goes systemic this would be quite catastrophic
Concerns about the potential systemic effects and safety of PP405 for hair loss, with discussions on its comparison to existing treatments like finasteride and minoxidil. Users express skepticism about untested research chemicals and emphasize the importance of clinical trials to ensure safety and efficacy.
