research PSXIV-17 Examining Mammary Gland Transcriptomic Profiles Using Rna-Seq in Slick and Wild-Type Haired Holstein Cattle Under Tropical Conditions

November 2023 in “Journal of animal science/Journal of animal science ... and ASAS reference compendium”

This study investigated differences in gene expression in the mammary glands of SLICK and wild-type Holstein cattle, finding limited differences overall but identifying enriched pathways related to arachidonic acid metabolism and oxytocin production, which merit further exploration.

research The slick hair coat locus maps to chromosome 20 in Senepol-derived cattle

51 citations , January 2007 in “Animal Genetics”

This study identified the location of the genetic locus for the slick hair coat trait in cattle on bovine chromosome 20, which may contribute to heat tolerance.

research Impact of mutations in PRLR for hair weight, circulating prolactin concentrations, feed intake, and growth of beef cattle in a hot and humid climate

July 2026 in “Frontiers in Endocrinology”

This study observed that beef cattle with certain prolactin receptor gene mutations, known as slick mutations, demonstrated improved post-weaning growth and temperature regulation in a hot, humid climate compared to other genotypes, suggesting genotype influences growth efficiency and heat tolerance.

research Genome‐wide association study identifies variants associated with hair length in Brangus cattle

9 citations , June 2020 in “Animal genetics”

In this study, researchers identified genetic variants in the PCCA and PRLR genes that are significantly associated with hair coat length in Brangus heifers, potentially contributing to more thermotolerant cattle.

research Canonical prolactin signaling and global mRNA expression in the skin of Holstein heifers carrying the SLICK1 allele of the prolactin receptor gene

1 citations , February 2025 in “Journal of Dairy Science”

In this study, researchers found that the SLICK1 allele in cattle may alter local immune regulation, hair growth, and tissue remodeling, as indicated by differential gene expression pathways associated with immune and inflammatory responses in slick vs. nonslick Holsteins.

community Why don’t more people use hair fibers?

in Product 527 upvotes 11 months ago

Hair fibers can effectively cover thinning hair when used with minoxidil and hairspray but require daily application and can be inconvenient in certain conditions. Some users prefer treatments like finasteride, dutasteride, microneedling, or wigs due to the maintenance and limitations of hair fibers.

community Is there a hidden cure out there?

1595 upvotes 2 months ago

There is skepticism about conspiracy theories claiming pharmaceutical companies hide cures for profit. Treatments like finasteride and dutasteride are mentioned as affordable options for hair loss.

community Stick with it (3 year progress)

in Progress Pictures 228 upvotes 4 months ago

The conversation is about a user's three-year progress in reversing hair loss using daily Dutasteride 0.5 mg and topical Minoxidil, with no side effects. The user emphasizes patience, as significant results were noticed after one year, despite a strong family history of early baldness.

community Just stick with it gang (8 months fin + min oral)

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 73 upvotes 1 year ago

The user started finasteride and minoxidil in December, increased the dosage after a few months, and noticed improvements around months 6 to 8 despite initial shedding. They experienced no side effects from finasteride but had to adjust minoxidil due to palpitations.

community 35M | Slick Bald + SMP for 10 Years to 4.5 Months Post Hair Transplant (6400 Grafts DHI)

108 upvotes 4 months ago

A 35-year-old man had a 6400 graft hair transplant in Turkey after years of baldness, using finasteride, oral and topical minoxidil, and scalp micropigmentation. He is satisfied with the progress and plans further SMP touch-ups to enhance results.
