MFN2 mutations cause mitochondrial problems, leading to more upper body fat and lower leptin levels.
research Decision Letter: Human Biallelic MFN2 Mutations Induce Mitochondrial Dysfunction, Upper Body Adipose Hyperplasia, and Suppression of Leptin Expression
MFN2 mutations cause mitochondrial problems, unusual fat distribution, and low leptin despite high body fat.
research Epithelially Derived, Mitochondrial MPZL3 Negatively Regulates Murine and Human Hair Follicle Cycling
A protein called MPZL3 in mitochondria slows down hair growth and could be a target for treating hair growth disorders.
research Expression and Roles of Steroidogenic Acute Regulatory (StAR) Protein in Non-Classical, Extra-Adrenal, and Extra-Gonadal Cells and Tissues
The protein StAR is found in 17 different organs and can affect hair loss and brain functions, but its full role is not yet fully understood.

community A meta analysis of 18 popular hair loss treatments. An 2022 guide on efficacy. From finasteride and minoxidil to caffeine shampoo, saw palmetto and biotin. 96 Scientific References included.
Most hair loss treatments are ineffective; only finasteride, dutasteride, and minoxidil show effectiveness.
community Diffuse hair loss and scalp biopsies
Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
community 57% increased chance of pattern hair loss independently associated with the consumption of sugary beverages in men (p<0.001) Pt 2
Sugary beverages increase the risk of pattern hair loss in men by 57%. Treatments discussed include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
community Countering oral minoxidil side effects by taking collagen supplements?
Oral minoxidil may deplete collagen, potentially causing skin aging. Users discuss whether taking collagen supplements can counteract this effect.
