5 / 1000+ resultsresearch An Electron Microscopy Study of Keratin Degradation by the Fungus Microsporum gypseum in vitro
This study found that the fungus Microsporum gypseum enzymatically degrades keratin in human hair, with the sequence of degradation reflecting the keratinization and cystine content of individual hair components in vitro.
research The SYP123-VAMP727 SNARE complex is involved in the delivery of inner cell wall components to the root hair shank in Arabidopsis
This study found that SYP123 and VAMP727 are involved in the secretion and transport of inner cell wall components, which is crucial for hardening the root hair shank in Arabidopsis.
research iε-(γ-Glutamyl) lysine cross-linkage in citrulline-containing protein fractions from hair
Specific cross-linkages help make hair proteins stable and strong.
research Formation of the iε-(γ-glutamyl)lysine crosslink in hair proteins. Investigation of transamidases in hair follicles
This study investigated the formation of a specific chemical crosslink in hair proteins and explored the role of transamidase enzymes in hair follicles.

5 / 635 resultscommunity The end of balding: We may have just found the secret to hair regrowth
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 The ending of alopecia? Corticosterone inhibits GAS6 to govern hair follicle stem-cell quiescence
Corticosterone inhibits GAS6, affecting hair follicle stem-cell activity, with potential implications for stress-related hair loss. Ashwagandha and Vitamin K are suggested for reducing cortisol, but their effectiveness is debated.
community Gut microbiome imbalances linked to scalp inflammation and hair follicle impact
Gut microbiome imbalances can cause scalp inflammation and affect hair follicles, potentially leading to hair loss. Treatments include finasteride, peptides like BPC-157, TB-500, KPV, and lifestyle changes such as diet and exercise.
community 21M, Dermatologist prescribed only Minoxidil
A 21-year-old was diagnosed with early-stage androgenetic alopecia and prescribed only minoxidil 5% and ketoconazole shampoo by a dermatologist, who advised against finasteride for now. The user is skeptical about starting minoxidil due to concerns about increased hair loss.
community "Creatine causes hair loss" myth debunked once and for all
Creatine does not directly cause hair loss but may increase DHT levels, potentially worsening hair loss in those predisposed to male pattern baldness. Users have mixed experiences, with some reporting increased shedding and others seeing no effect.
