Did you mean Keratin 85?

Glossary Keratin 85

protein crucial for hair structure and strength

Keratin 85, also known as KRT85, is a type of protein found in hair follicles. It plays a crucial role in the structure and strength of hair, contributing to its resilience and elasticity. Mutations in the KRT85 gene can lead to hair disorders, such as monilethrix, which is characterized by beaded or fragile hair.

What role does keratin play in strengthening weak or thinning hair? Keratin strengthens hair by forming protective structures that prevent breakage and thinning.
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.
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.

community When is the cure gonna drop , how much more time

in Research/Science 112 upvotes 7 months ago

There is no imminent cure for hair loss, but treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, and new drugs such as KX-826, GT-20029, and PP405 are being explored. Current solutions focus on slowing hair loss and stimulating growth, with hopes for better options in the future.

community My personal experience/observations fighting AGA seriously for 5 years

50 upvotes 1 year ago

Minoxidil with alcohol and propylene glycol was more effective than non-alcohol versions, and RU58841 worked best in a non-water-based solution. Oral finasteride showed better results than topical, despite side effects; microneedling and tretinoin worsened hair loss, and PRP was only helpful when younger.

community Nearly 2 years. Ready to throw in the towel sometimes, but have come this far and will see if it comes in thicker. 42 years old.

in Progress Pictures 48 upvotes 1 year ago

The conversation is about hair loss treatments, focusing on the use of dutasteride, minoxidil, and microneedling. Users suggest adding minoxidil and microneedling for better results, while some caution against using RU58841 due to potential risks.

community Keratin fibers vs. Gossypium Herbaceum Hair fibers

1 upvotes 2 years ago

The conversation is about comparing keratin hair fibers to Gossypium Herbaceum hair fibers for diffuse hair loss. The user prefers keratin fibers for their durability and is seeking a bulk purchase option.

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.
