5 / 1000+ resultsresearch K6irs1, K6irs2, K6irs3, and K6irs4 Represent the Inner-Root-Sheath-Specific Type II Epithelial Keratins of the Human Hair Follicle1
This study reports the cloning and expression details of two new human type II keratins, K6irs3 and K6irs4, in the hair follicle's inner root sheath, suggesting a distinct functional role related to hair structure.
research Type II Keratins Are Phosphorylated on a Unique Motif during Stress and Mitosis in Tissues and Cultured Cells
This study found that type II keratins in proliferating epithelial tissues are phosphorylated at a conserved motif during mitosis and stress, impacting keratin solubilization and reorganization.
research The human type I keratin gene family: Characterization of new hair follicle specific members and evaluation of the chromosome 17q21.2 gene domain
This study identifies six novel keratin genes from the chromosome 17q21.2 region, suggesting their association with hair follicles, while all 27 keratin genes in the domain have been characterized transcriptionally.
research Type II Epithelial Keratin 6hf (K6hf) Is Expressed in the Companion Layer, Matrix, and Medulla in Anagen-Stage Hair Follicles
This study found that keratin 6hf, a type II keratin, is expressed in specific regions of mouse and human hair and suggests potential interactions with keratin 17, impacting hair development and associated disorders.

5 / 145 resultscommunity Additional supplements / peptides to maximize finasteride benefit
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 When is the cure gonna drop , how much more time
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
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 Blaming Finasteride doesn't help you solve anything: dry eyes
Finasteride is debated for causing dry eyes, with some users experiencing relief after stopping it, while others find no connection. Topical treatments like dutasteride and minoxidil are suggested as alternatives, with advice to consult medical professionals.
community The Real Cause Of Androgenetic Alopecia
Androgenetic alopecia is caused by DHT affecting hair growth. Finasteride and minoxidil are used to manage hair loss by blocking DHT and promoting hair growth.

4 / 801 results- 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.
