In this study, it was observed that NIPAL4 mutations linked to autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis lead to abnormal skin barrier function due to cytotoxic effects disrupting lipid structure and organization, which topical treatments only partially ameliorated.
research Sphingolipids of the Murine Hair
This study analyzed the lipid composition of mouse hair, focusing on sphingolipids, and found significant differences in ceramides, glucosylceramides, and sphingomyelins between hair follicles and hair shafts.
research Severe Skin Permeability Barrier Dysfunction in Knockout Mice Deficient in a Fatty Acid ω-Hydroxylase Crucial to Acylceramide Production
In this study, knockout mice lacking the Cyp4f39 gene showed severe skin barrier dysfunction and high early mortality, suggesting its critical role in skin barrier formation and insights into ichthyosis pathogenesis.
research The Suppression of Very Long Chain Fatty Acids Is Associated with Skin Carcinogenesis
This study suggests that the expression of VLCFA biosynthesis genes is suppressed in skin hyperplasia and cancer, which could influence keratinocyte function.

community 19 Y/o, less than 3 months on oral fin and min
A 19-year-old experienced hair improvement after less than three months on 5mg minoxidil and 1mg finasteride, with no side effects except increased body hair. Users discussed lighting differences in photos, shedding phases, and the effectiveness of minoxidil over finasteride in short-term hair growth.
community 25 y/o – Progress after 3 months of treatment – Can I recover or do I need a second hair transplant?
A 25-year-old is experiencing hair regrowth after 3 months using minoxidil, tretinoin, oral finasteride, RU58841, dermastamping, ketoconazole shampoo, scalp massage, vitamin D, and biotin. They are considering whether to continue this treatment or plan a second hair transplant.
community 52 y.o. here. After being on 1 mg finasteride on and off since almost 30 years ago (consistently on for the past 9 years), I'm switching to dutasteride as of today.
A 52-year-old is switching from finasteride to dutasteride to address crown balding, despite concerns about potential side effects. They have used finasteride for nearly 30 years, had a minor hair transplant, and are considering further treatments if dutasteride doesn't improve their condition.
