5 / 1000+ resultsresearch Overexpression of Hoxc13 in differentiating keratinocytes results in downregulation of a novel hair keratin gene cluster and alopecia
This study found that overexpressing the Hoxc13 gene in mice causes hair loss and a skin condition similar to ichthyosis, identifying several gene targets that may regulate hair growth.
research A gene for pachyonychia congenita is closely linked to the keratin gene cluster on 17q12-q21.
This study found strong evidence linking a keratin gene anomaly to pachyonychia congenita, supporting its role in affecting skin, nails, hair, and mucosa.
research A cluster of 21 keratin-associated protein genes within introns of another gene on human chromosome 21q22.3
In this study, researchers identified a cluster of hair-specific keratin-associated protein genes within the 21q22.3 region, revealing a novel transcription mechanism involving TSPEAR/C21orf29 that may bypass typical transcriptional termination sites.
research Characterization of a Cluster of Human High/Ultrahigh Sulfur Keratin-associated Protein Genes Embedded in the Type I Keratin Gene Domain on Chromosome 17q12-21
This study identified a cluster of genes on chromosome 17 related to hair keratin-associated proteins, including 37 genes forming seven multigene families, localized in the hair shaft's upper cortex.

Procapil is marketed as a natural hair loss treatment but lacks strong evidence and is industry-biased. Minoxidil and Finasteride are the only FDA-approved treatments for androgenetic alopecia.
community 3 Months on Topical DUT & MIN Female Pattern Baldness
A user shared progress on treating female pattern baldness with a topical solution containing Minoxidil, Dutasteride, Tretinoin, Ketoconazole, and Hydrocortisone, along with supplements like Collagen Peptides, NAC, Vitamin C, and Keratin. Another user commented on the impressive results, noting the use of topical Dutasteride.
