5 / 1000+ resultsresearch IRF2BP2 Genes Provide New Insights Into Coat Type and Fiber Composition Variation in Sheep
This study on sheep coat type and fiber composition reveals that the IRF2BP2 gene, specifically the asEIF2S2 insertion and T7068586C SNP, plays a crucial role in determining fleece structure. Analyzing 692 ewes from various breeds, researchers found that the asEIF2S2 insertion is fixed in single-coated breeds and significantly influences fiber traits, increasing the non-medullated fiber ratio (NMFR) and decreasing hair fiber diameter (HFD). The T7068586C SNP, present in double-coated breeds, also affects NMFR and HFD. The optimal genotype combination, ++/CC, results in the highest NMFR and finest fibers, making it a valuable tool for improving fleece quality through marker-assisted selection. These findings provide new insights into the genetic basis of sheep fleece variation.

A 31-year-old man who previously had good results with minoxidil, finasteride, and nizoral for hair loss is now experiencing unusual hair loss and side effects from finasteride. Respondents suggest it might be severe retrograde alopecia and recommend exploring other treatment options due to his inability to tolerate finasteride.
community New Research- Creatine Increasing Scalp DHT Without Corresponding Serum DHT Increase
Creatine may increase scalp DHT without affecting serum DHT, potentially speeding up male pattern baldness (MPB) for those genetically prone. Treatments mentioned include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
community Creatine is the opposite of minoxidil !
Creatine may counteract minoxidil's hair growth effects by closing potassium ATP channels, potentially leading to hair loss in predisposed individuals. Despite anecdotal reports, there is no conclusive evidence linking creatine to hair loss.
community 2 years of treatment, hair continues to get worse
A user is worried about hair loss despite using finasteride, oral minoxidil, and keto shampoo for two years and is considering switching to dutasteride. Responses suggest patience, lifestyle changes, or trying additional treatments like microneedling.
community Compressed part of research of theory of androgenic/anabolitic balance. AGA h-responders analytic. Theory of physio-metabolitic method of anti AGA treatment
The treatment for androgenetic alopecia involves using finasteride and minoxidil with intense exercise and cold exposure to boost metabolism and reduce androgenic effects, potentially leading to hair regrowth. This approach may activate biological pathways for improved hair and overall health.
