research Dissection of genetic variation and evidence for pleiotropy in male pattern baldness

58 citations , December 2018 in “Nature Communications”

This study found that male pattern baldness in European males is strongly heritable and associated with genetic markers linked to earlier puberty, bone density, and pancreatic function.

research Chronic Overlapping Pain Conditions and Nociplastic Pain

June 2023 in “medRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)”

This study found that nociplastic type pain is a complex and heritable trait, with significant genetic overlap with multisite chronic pain and some connection to rheumatoid arthritis and a neuropathic pain phenotype.

research Polygenic control of the wavy coat of the NCT mouse: involvement of an intracisternal A particle insertional mutation of the protease, serine 53 (Prss53) gene, and a modifier gene

January 2022 in “Mammalian Genome”

This study found that the wavy coat trait in Nakano cataract mice is polygenic, involving major and minor genes, and resembles human curly scalp hair associated with the PRSS53 gene alteration.

research A conditional multi-trait sequence GWAS discovers pleiotropic candidate genes and variants for sheep wool, skin wrinkle and breech cover traits

11 citations , July 2021 in “Genetics selection evolution”

This study used whole-genome sequence data to identify numerous putative causal variants and genes affecting key wool traits and skin wrinkle in Merino sheep, highlighting their polygenic and pleiotropic nature.

research What Is the Male Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Phenotype?

December 2021 in “The Journal of clinical endocrinology and metabolism/Journal of clinical endocrinology & metabolism”

community Me on 5 milligrams of Finasteride, off label oral Min, a $3000 red light therapy cap, experimental Russian drugs, and three Turkish hair transplants watching a 60 year old homeless man with a perfect hairline smoke crack

in Satire 2726 upvotes 1 year ago

The conversation humorously discusses the unfairness of hair loss, highlighting various treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, red light therapy, and experimental drugs, while contrasting with people who have great hair despite unhealthy lifestyles. The original poster mentions experiencing side effects from switching to oral finasteride.

community Hairloss progress photos: Dp you think this is a good position?

in Is this regrowth? 39 upvotes 1 year ago

A 33-year-old experienced hairline improvement using finasteride and minoxidil, later stopping minoxidil while continuing ketoconazole shampoo. Initial side effects included shedding, reduced libido, and anxiety, but these resolved, leading to a full hairline recovery.

community Could male-pattern baldness have a secondary photobiological function? The Solar Window Hypothesis

11 upvotes 3 weeks ago

Male-pattern baldness might increase UVB exposure on the scalp, potentially affecting vitamin D and skeletal health. The hypothesis is debated, with some seeing it as a minor benefit in specific contexts.

community My Theory Of Androgenic Alopecia

16 upvotes 9 months ago

Hair loss is linked to cellular physiology and the IGF-1 to TGF-B1 ratio, not just androgen sensitivity. The theory lacks evidence, while finasteride and minoxidil are effective treatments.

community The Real Cause Of Androgenetic Alopecia

675 upvotes 1 year ago

Androgenetic alopecia is caused by DHT affecting hair growth. Finasteride and minoxidil are used to manage hair loss by blocking DHT and promoting hair growth.
