research Identification of the Rat Rex Mutation as a 7-bp Deletion at Splicing Acceptor Site of the Krt71 Gene
This study identified a mutation in the keratin 71 gene that causes curly hair in certain rats, advancing our understanding of hair formation.
research Mutations in SNRPE, which Encodes a Core Protein of the Spliceosome, Cause Autosomal-Dominant Hypotrichosis Simplex
This study identified mutations in the SNRPE gene that may disrupt hair growth, linking a spliceosome component to hereditary hair loss disorders.
research Splenic eumelanin differs from hair eumelanin in C57BL/6 mice.
This study found that spleens of black C57BL/6 mice contain eumelanin, with properties different from skin and hair melanin, and may originate from skin melanin transported by immune cells.
research A Splice Site Mutation in the Gene of the Human Type I Hair Keratin hHa1 Results in the Expression of a Tailless Keratin Isoform
This study found that the hHa1-t protein variant, caused by a genetic polymorphism in the hHa1 gene, forms functional keratin filaments despite lacking a complete nonhelical tail domain, explaining the absence of a pathological hair phenotype.

Minoxidil 0.5% MMP® showed better results in parietal-vertex regions for less advanced female pattern hair loss compared to Minoxidil 5%. MMP® with Minoxidil can improve the quality of life for these patients.
community How Splitting Oral Minoxidil CHANGED Everything — After 2 Years of Topical Failure
Switching from topical to oral minoxidil, specifically using split dosing, led to significant hair regrowth and reduced side effects for the user. The combination of oral minoxidil and finasteride proved more effective than previous topical treatments.
community Oral minoxidil low dosing (splitting pills)
Reducing oral minoxidil dosage to 1.25mg daily may lessen side effects like tiredness and dizziness. Users suggest splitting pills or using sublingual minoxidil, though availability may vary by location.
community Starting 5mg Finasteride split into 1.25mg. Is the hormonal fluctuation risk real?
An 18-year-old is considering splitting 5mg Finasteride pills into 1.25mg doses to save money, but is concerned about potential hormonal fluctuations and side effects due to his age. Users advise caution, suggest consulting a doctor, and recommend considering lower or less frequent doses.
community Heavy shed after switching finasteride brand / pill splitting — temporary?
Switching finasteride brands and splitting pills may cause temporary hair shedding, but sticking to one brand and consistent dosing might help. Creatine could also contribute to shedding, though there's no scientific proof.
