5 / 1000+ resultsresearch Unique Amino Acid Signatures That Are Evolutionarily Conserved Distinguish Simple-Type, Epidermal, and Hair Keratins
The study analyzed keratin sequences from various species, focusing on epidermal, simple-type epithelial, and hair keratins. It found that keratin domains have distinct amino acid compositions: hair keratins are rich in cysteines and prolines, epidermal keratins are abundant in glycine and phenylalanine but low in alanine, and simple-type epithelial keratins are enriched in acidic and basic residues. These differences are evolutionarily conserved and reflect the unique structural and functional roles of each keratin type. Additionally, cysteines and histidines, though rare, are frequently involved in de novo mutations in keratins, highlighting their significance in keratin function and mutation hotspots.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity UPDATE: The theory that explains everything. Please help me make this big!
Hair loss theory involves 3alpha-hydroxysteroid reductase (3AHD) converting DHT to androstenol. Discussion explores potential treatments and encourages more research.
community Diffuse hair loss and scalp biopsies
Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
community Long term finasteride users; Did you notice any improvement after 2 years?
Long term Finasteride users and whether or not they have noticed improvements after two years of use, with other treatments such as Minoxidil and dermarolling also discussed. Some replies suggest that improvement is possible even beyond the two year mark while others caution against believing studies backed by the Post-Finasteride Foundation.
community 57% increased chance of pattern hair loss independently associated with the consumption of sugary beverages in men (p<0.001) Pt 2
Sugary beverages increase the risk of pattern hair loss in men by 57%. Treatments discussed include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
