research Differences between ultrastructure and protein composition in straight hair fibres

13 citations , February 2019 in “Zoology”

Lustre mutant sheep have normal hair structure and proteins but differ in felting properties.

research Autophagy Controls the Protein Composition of Hair Shafts

2 citations , July 2023 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology”

This study found that blocking autophagy in Atg7-deficient mouse hair keratinocytes altered the molecular composition of hair shafts by increasing the abundance of proteins involved in protein turnover while keratins remained unchanged, highlighting autophagy's role in reducing non-cytoskeletal protein concentrations in hair.

research 1430 Autophagy controls the protein composition of hair shafts

April 2023 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

In this study, researchers found that autophagy is crucial for maintaining the mature protein composition of hair shafts, with its disruption leading to increased levels of various proteins, suggesting potential diagnostic applications for detecting impaired autophagy through hair proteomic analysis.

research Protein and amino acid composition of hair from mice carrying the naked (N) gene

12 citations , August 1984 in “Genetics Research”

In this study, researchers found that the naked (N) gene in mice indirectly affects the synthesis of structural proteins in mouse hair, resulting in reduced high tyrosine protein content and unusual amino acid compositions.

research Amino Acid Compositions of Human Hair Fibrous Protein Components Purified with Two‐dimensional Electrophoresis

4 citations , December 1989 in “The Journal of Dermatology”

This study suggests that the amino acid composition of fibrous proteins in normal human hair is similar to that of stratum corneum proteins, particularly in cysteine and glycine content.

community Back From The Dead Norwood 3- HairMaxxing(Repost)

in Progress Pictures 400 upvotes 1 year ago

A 21-year-old shared his successful hair recovery journey using topical Minoxidil and Finasteride, along with derma rolling, a high-protein diet, regular exercise, and ketoconazole shampoo. He reported significant hair regrowth over 1.5 years, attributing his success to consistent use of these treatments.

community The end of balding: We may have just found the secret to hair regrowth

in Technology 680 upvotes 1 year ago

MCL-1 is important for hair follicle stem cell survival, but its impact on human hair regrowth is unclear. Minoxidil and finasteride are the main treatments, with doubts about new discoveries leading to effective human solutions soon.

community Minoxidil + Gym + Cutting. Is it bad?

37 upvotes 3 years ago

A user is concerned about weight loss stagnation while using minoxidil and finasteride during a calorie-cutting diet. Responses suggest water retention or a weight loss plateau as possible causes.

community Making your own RT1640 in China

4 years ago

RT1640, a combination of cyclosporin A, minoxidil, and RT175, is discussed as a potential treatment for hair regrowth and repigmentation. The unique formulation aims to enhance hair follicle growth and restore hair pigment without the negative side effects of immunosuppressants.

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.
