research Molecular evolution of the keratin associated protein gene family in mammals, role in the evolution of mammalian hair

119 citations , August 2008 in “BMC Evolutionary Biology”

This study found that while the KRTAP gene family is unique to mammals, humans have a similar number of these hair gene types as other primates despite having less body hair.

research Hair Keratins and Hair Follicle–Specific Epithelial Keratins

31 citations , January 2004 in “Methods in cell biology”

Hair and follicle keratins differ in structure and expression, especially in cysteine content.

research Binding Interactions of Keratin-Based Hair Fiber Extract to Gold, Keratin, and BMP-2

22 citations , August 2015 in “PloS one”

This study found that the binding and release of BMP-2 from kerateine biomaterials are significantly influenced by pH and salt concentration, highlighting the potential for developing improved bone repair systems.

research Highly Conserved Keratin-Associated Protein 7-1 Gene in Yak, Taurine and Zebu Cattle

2 citations , January 2017 in “Folia biologica”

This study identified two single-nucleotide polymorphisms and three haplotypes in the KRTAP7-1 gene across yak, taurine, and zebu cattle, with the BOVIN-KRTAP7-1*A haplotype most prevalent.

research Biological Decomposition of Hair Keratin During Composting

January 2025

In this study, hair composted with various organic materials, and inoculated with Bacillus subtilis, showed improved degradation and nutrient release, but temperatures below 33℃ limited composting efficiency, suggesting bacterial augmentation could aid sustainable management of keratin-rich waste.

community Why isn't this a thing? Why isn't it even talked here?

7 upvotes 5 years ago

The conversation discusses the effectiveness of AMSbzs supplements in significantly increasing hair count, weight, and keratin content. The user questions why this treatment isn't more widely known despite its impressive results.

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.

community Is Biotin or Keratin shampoo better for hair health/growth

6 upvotes 2 years ago

Biotin and Keratin shampoos are discussed for hair health and growth. Users suggest shampoos alone don't significantly aid hair growth.

community Additional supplements / peptides to maximize finasteride benefit

in Research/Science 3 upvotes 3 months ago

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 For those who believe if they stop treating the issue somehow they will retain their progress..nope

4 upvotes 3 years ago

Stopping treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, or Dutasteride leads to hair loss reversal. Personal reasons, such as planning for a baby, can influence the decision to stop these treatments despite the known consequences.
