research Effect of varied hair protein fractions on the gel properties of keratin/chitosan hydrogels for the use in tissue engineering

41 citations , July 2020 in “Colloids and surfaces. B, Biointerfaces”

This study suggests that adjusting the ratios of keratin-associated proteins to keratin intermediate filaments can create keratin/chitosan hydrogels with more consistent gel properties for tissue engineering.

research iε-(γ^-Glutamyl) lysine cross-linkage in citrulline-containing protein fractions from hair

125 citations , February 1971 in “Biochemistry”

Specific cross-linkages help make hair proteins stable and strong.

research Rational design of keratin nanoparticles utilizing diverse hair protein fractions for controlled drug release

November 2023 in “Journal of the Taiwan Institute of Chemical Engineers”

Scientists made nanoparticles from human hair proteins to improve drug delivery.

research Cellular blood constituents and serum protein fractions of the chinchilla (Chinchilla lanigera)

8 citations , August 1971 in “Canadian Journal of Zoology”

This study reported the hematology and serum protein characteristics of chinchillas, including elevated transferrin to albumin concentration ratios during March and April, possibly linked to pregnancy or hair growth.

research Androgen Receptors and Androgen-Dependent Initiation of Protein Synthesis in the Prostate

59 citations , January 1976 in “Vitamins and hormones”

This chapter discusses androgen receptors and protein synthesis in the prostate, reporting that DHT-dependent receptor protein translocation increases protein-synthesizing activity after androgen injection in rat models.

community My Theory Of Androgenic Alopecia

16 upvotes 10 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 A hair transplant surgeon reviewed my r/tressless post

106 upvotes 5 months ago

Finasteride helped OP recover their hairline, and they did not use minoxidil. OP experienced significant hair regrowth with finasteride, similar to their father's experience.

community The future of hair loss drugs.

34 upvotes 7 months ago

Clascoterone 5% and PP405 are being discussed as potential future treatments for hair loss, with clascoterone nearing phase three completion and PP405 possibly taking a cosmetic route to market. Current treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841 are mentioned as effective in slowing hair loss, but a complete cure remains elusive.

community Can liver problems be associated with response to the oral minoxidil?

in Research 147 upvotes 8 months ago

Liver problems may reduce the effectiveness of oral minoxidil due to impaired SULT1A1 enzyme activity, which is crucial for converting minoxidil to its active form. This reduction in enzyme function can significantly decrease the drug's effectiveness in promoting hair growth.

community I'm quitting finasteride after almost 3 years of daily use

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 166 upvotes 11 months ago

A 23-year-old stopped using finasteride due to sexual side effects after three years. The discussion covers experiences with finasteride, dutasteride, and other treatments, noting varied side effects and effectiveness.
