research Genetic Correlation Analysis Does Not Associate Male Pattern Baldness With COVID-19
There's no significant genetic link between male pattern baldness and COVID-19.
research Genetically Determined Metabolites in Allergic Conjunctivitis: A Mendelian Randomization Study
Eight blood metabolites are linked to causing allergic conjunctivitis, offering new ways to predict and treat it.
research FGFR2 Is Associated With Hair Thickness In Asian Populations
A gene variation is linked to hair thickness in Asians.
research Study of MC1R and SLC24A5 Gene Diversity in Global Populations: Evaluation of Evolutionary and Environmental Aspects
SLC24A5 shows a clear selective sweep, but no link to UV radiation intensity.
research Unraveling the Complex Role of MAPT-Containing H1 and H2 Haplotypes in Neurodegenerative Diseases

Hair loss discussion explores why Prince William didn't use treatments like finasteride or minoxidil. Reasons include indifference to appearance, potential side effects, and royal responsibilities.
community Are they going to Ban Finasteride in the EU ?
There is concern about a potential ban on finasteride in the EU, but many believe it is unlikely unless serious side effects are found. Users rely on finasteride for hair loss and other health benefits, and a petition has been created to oppose any restrictions.
community What about cofactor NADPH ? Why don't we ever talk about it ?
The conversation discusses the role of NADPH in hair loss and the potential impact of creatine and B complex vitamins on hair shedding. The user theorizes that increasing NAD levels with B complex vitamins may reduce hair shedding, despite using finasteride and minoxidil for 9 months.
community Why do we have head hair in first place if we evolved to start losing it in some cases as soon as puberty hits
Hair loss is influenced by genetics and sensitivity to hormones like DHT. Treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride are commonly used, and baldness persists as it doesn't affect reproductive success.
community Verteporfin and Microneedling
Clinical studies by Dr. Barghouthi and Dr. Bloxham indicate that Verteporfin, when used with FUE and FUT hair transplantation methods, shows promise in hair follicle regeneration and minimal scarring due to its ability to inhibit Yes-associated protein (YAP). Microneedling at depths of 3-3.5mm, combined with Verteporfin, could potentially reactivate dormant follicles, although the optimal dosage and application method are still under investigation. Concerns remain about the DHT sensitivity of regenerated follicles, highlighting the need for further research to optimize trauma levels and Verteporfin concentrations to achieve effective and scar-free hair regeneration.
