research Glucose and acetate metabolism by isolated sheep wool follicles

8 citations , April 1965 in “Archives of biochemistry and biophysics”

This study found that sheep wool follicles actively oxidize acetate and glucose, suggesting the involvement of the TCA cycle for compound synthesis and the potential role of the pentose phosphate pathway in ribose production for RNA and DNA.

research Comprehensive transcriptome and methylome analysis delineates the biological basis of hair follicle development and wool-related traits in Merino sheep

112 citations , September 2021 in “BMC Biology”

This study found that specific gene expressions during different stages of hair follicle development in Merino sheep are linked to wool-related traits, and may also be relevant to human skin, metabolic, and immune traits.

research Characterization of transport systems for cysteine, lysine, alanine, and leucine in wool follicles of sheep

9 citations , August 2007 in “Journal of animal science/Journal of animal science ... and ASAS reference compendium”

This study observed that amino acid uptake into wool follicles varies significantly, with cysteine showing the highest uptake rate, suggesting specialized transport systems that may influence wool growth.

research TMT-based quantitative proteomics reveals the genetic mechanisms of secondary hair follicle development in fine-wool sheep

2 citations , February 2025 in “PLoS ONE”

This study used TMT-based quantitative proteomics to analyze the development of secondary hair follicles in fetal sheep, revealing increased follicle density and key proteins involved, such as COL1A1 and THBS4, indicating their potential role in wool quality traits.

research Identification and characterization of circRNAs in the skin during the wool follicle development of Aohan fine wool sheep

October 2019 in “Research Square (Research Square)”

In this study, researchers identified and analyzed 8,753 circular RNAs in Aohan fine wool sheep, suggesting that certain circRNAs may play a crucial role in regulating wool follicle growth.

community If we can clone a sheep why we can't cure baldness till now

in Research/Science 181 upvotes 1 year ago

Hair loss treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, and stem cell therapies exist, but a complete cure is hindered by genetic complexity and market dynamics. Cloning hair follicles is considered a potential solution, but it's currently not feasible.

community Claim: Insulin resistance increases the enzyme that creates DHT and affects the liver's ability to control hormones

in Research/Science 4 upvotes 11 months ago

Insulin resistance may increase DHT production, contributing to hair loss, and addressing it through diet, nutrients, and natural DHT blockers like saw palmetto and pumpkin seed oil could help reverse hair loss. Some users prefer medications like finasteride for more effective results.

community A little more than a month using red light therapy. I'm surprised by the progress.

263 upvotes 5 months ago

Red light therapy has shown promising results in hair regrowth for the user, who avoids minoxidil and finasteride due to side effects. The user follows a healthy lifestyle with diet, exercise, and sauna use, and will continue monitoring the therapy's effectiveness.
