    small rodents often used in biological and medical research

    Mice, also known as murine rodents, are small mammals commonly used in scientific research due to their genetic, biological, and behavioral similarities to humans. They are particularly valuable in studies related to hair and alopecia because their genetic makeup can be easily manipulated to model human diseases, allowing researchers to investigate the underlying mechanisms and potential treatments.

      community How do you guys style thinning hair ?

      in Styling  7 upvotes 3 months ago
      A 20-year-old male experiencing hair thinning uses 1mg finasteride and 2.5mg minoxidil daily, and seeks styling advice to hide frontal scalp thinning. Recommendations include using hair powder, mousse, sea salt spray, and matte clay, along with specific styling techniques like blow-drying and using a detangling brush.

      in Styling  8 upvotes 1 year ago
      Sea salt spray may not be ideal for thinning hair, and alternatives like texture powder, thickening tonic, and styling clay are suggested for volume without damage. Some users recommend thickening sprays or mousse for a fuller appearance, while others suggest considering medication for hair loss.
