Researchers identified a variant (rs142986308, p.Arg587Trp) in the CCHCR1 gene within the MHC risk haplotype associated with alopecia areata (AA). Using CRISPR/Cas9, they engineered mice to carry this risk allele, which resulted in patched hair loss similar to AA symptoms. Skin biopsies from these mice showed up-regulation of hair-related genes, including keratin and keratin-associated proteins. Transcriptomics revealed CCHCR1 as a novel component of hair shafts and cuticles, suggesting that aberrant keratinization might be an alternative mechanism for AA, alongside known autoimmune factors.

A user's transformation from an accountant to a spartan with a full beard, discussing the potential of DUPA and alopecia areata, as well as treatments like vitamins, topicals, and natural treatments for potential regrowth.
community Pattern hair loss could be due to gut bacteria
Feeding bacteria-free mice with Lactobacillus murinus worsened hair loss, but a regular diet with biotin stopped it. The conversation suggests gut bacteria and diet may influence hair loss, with some skepticism and discussion about other factors like DHT and genetics.
community Shedding on finasteride only; looking for motivation
A user started finasteride for hair loss and saw improvement, but is now experiencing shedding and thinning in new areas. They added Nizoral due to dandruff caused by finasteride. Replies suggest that shedding is normal around 6 months and advise to stick with the treatment.
community The celebrated doctors that we adore so much and whose advice we hear without doubts, are only humans after all
The user visited three dermatologists for hair loss treatment and was disappointed with their lack of thorough examination and discussion. Treatments prescribed included minoxidil, finasteride, multivitamins, ketoconazole shampoo, vitamin D3, and biotin, but the user was dissatisfied with the approach and lack of consideration for newer treatments.
community How insane is this oral min shed?
A user started taking 0.625mg oral minoxidil daily for hair loss, increased the dose to 1.25mg, and experienced a significant shed, losing 70% of scalp density. They cannot tolerate finasteride due to side effects but are hopeful for hair regrowth despite the shedding.
