5 / 1000+ resultsresearch Complete sequence of a hair-like intermediate filament type II keratin gene
KRT2.13 gene is similar to KRT2.9 but not expressed in hair follicles.
research Genes for intermediate filament proteins and the draft sequence of the human genome
The study found 65 intermediate filament genes, including new keratins, and suggested updating keratin naming.
research Regulation of a hair follicle keratin intermediate filament gene promoter
The LEF-1 binding site enhances gene expression in hair follicles, with other proteins aiding specific regulation.
research Human Hair Keratin-Associated Proteins
Hair keratin-associated proteins are essential for strong hair, with over 80 genes showing specific patterns and variations among people.
research Isolation and Characterization of a Novel Hair Follicle–Specific Gene, Hacl-1
Researchers found a new gene, hacl-1, that is active in mouse hair follicles during hair growth and may be important for hair biology.

5 / 47 resultscommunity A meta analysis of 18 popular hair loss treatments. An 2022 guide on efficacy. From finasteride and minoxidil to caffeine shampoo, saw palmetto and biotin. 96 Scientific References included.
Most hair loss treatments are ineffective; only finasteride, dutasteride, and minoxidil show effectiveness.
community ~6 years of progress. It's a marathon, not a sprint!
Significant hair regrowth was achieved over six years using Minoxidil, Finasteride, and daily 0.25mm dermarolling. Finasteride had the most significant impact, with no reported side effects.
community If You Have DUPA, PLEASE READ THIS: Everyone Should Be Scalp Biopsied
Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
community PP405 Won’t Work: Follicle Is Miniaturized, Fibrosed, And Missing Key Support Cells
PP405 is ineffective for miniaturized, fibrosed hair follicles in androgenetic alopecia. AMP303 may activate hair follicle stem cells, but minoxidil and finasteride are still the main treatments.
community How is dht not beneficial to you?
DHT is important for sexual function and mood, but finasteride and dutasteride can reduce DHT, causing side effects like reduced libido and erectile dysfunction. These treatments are effective for hair loss, but their impact on DHT leads to debate.
