This study suggests obstructive sleep apnea may increase the risk of male-pattern baldness in men with a family history of hair loss, and links low serum transferrin saturation levels to both conditions.
research FLCN regulates transferrin receptor 1 transport and iron homeostasis
This study found that loss of the folliculin protein delays transferrin receptor recycling, leading to iron deficiency and suggesting a role in the mechanisms of Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome.
research Prospective Controlled Study Evaluating Pull Test with Correlation Serum Iron, Ferritin, Tranferin, Vitamin B12, Folic Acid in Patients with Alopecias in The Czech Republic
This study aimed to identify possible associations between a hair pull test and various pathological, biochemical, and hematological parameters in Czech patients with different types of alopecia.
research Characterization of the Role of Transferrin receptor 1 (Tfr1) in the Intestinal Epithelium, Pancreas, and Skin
This study found that deleting transferrin receptor 1 in specific mouse tissues led to varied lethal outcomes, demonstrating its diverse roles beyond iron uptake.

5 / 75 resultscommunity Transfeminine and wondering if minoxidil is right for me
The conversation discusses using minoxidil, finasteride, biotin, rosemary oil, and microneedling for hair regrowth, particularly around the temples. The user is seeking a permanent solution to improve hair density without ongoing intensive treatments.
community REMINDER: you can get your prescriptions medications transferred to other pharmacies.
Finasteride prescriptions can be transferred to Costco for cheaper prices, and Costco does not require a membership for pharmacy purchases. Users discuss various options for obtaining finasteride and minoxidil, including splitting 5mg tablets for cost savings and using different pharmacies for better deals.
community progress pics (HRT, fin, min, microneedling) (35, trans non-binary)
A non-binary transfeminine person experienced significant hair regrowth after starting finasteride, minoxidil, microneedling, and hormone replacement therapy with estradiol. They encourage trans individuals concerned about hair loss to consider estrogen as it has greatly improved their hair condition.
community A Theory on Why Microneedling Works
Microneedling may enhance hair regrowth by transferring stem cells to dormant follicles, improving the effects of minoxidil. Users discuss using microneedling with needle lengths around 1.5mm to stimulate hair growth.
community Is using one of these caps for bed enough to prevent minoxidil to get on the bedsheets?
Using a cap at night can prevent minoxidil from transferring to bedsheets and is safe for pets. Washing hair the next day is recommended for safety.
