research Whole genome sequencing analysis of alpaca suggests TRPV3 as a candidate gene for the suri phenotype

February 2024 in “BMC genomics”

This study identified a gene variant in the TRPV3 gene that may explain the suri alpaca phenotype, characterized by longer and less crimped fleece, suggesting this variant's involvement in the development of these hair characteristics compared to the huacaya phenotype.

Integration Analysis of Transcriptome Sequencing and Whole-Genome Resequencing Reveals Wool Quality-Associated Key Genes in Zhexi Angora Rabbits

research Integration Analysis of Transcriptome Sequencing and Whole-Genome Resequencing Reveal Wool Quality-Associated Key Genes in Zhexi Angora Rabbits

December 2024 in “Veterinary Sciences”

In this study of Zhexi Angora rabbits, researchers found that the fine-wool group exhibited lower fiber diameters and a higher hair follicle density than the coarse-wool group, and they identified key candidate genes potentially regulating wool quality through RNA-seq and genome resequencing techniques.

60 citations , January 2021 in “BMC Genomics”

This study mapped genomic copy number variation in Chinese fine-wool sheep, identifying genes involved in sensory perception, nutrient metabolism, growth, and development, and highlighting significant selection on the RXFP2 gene.

research Analysis of Copy Number Variation in the Whole Genome of Normal-Haired and Long-Haired Tianzhu White Yaks

9 citations , December 2022 in “Genes”

This study conducted a genome-wide analysis in Tianzhu white yaks, identifying differential genes associated with hair growth between long-haired and normal-haired individuals.

research A global analysis of CNVs in Chinese indigenous fine-wool sheep populations using whole-genome resequencing

January 2021 in “Research Square (Research Square)”

This study mapped copy number variations in Chinese fine-wool sheep, identifying regions linked to important traits like milk production and growth, and highlighting a strong selection signal at the RXFP2 gene.

community We already know how to permanently fix hair loss. The science is done. The only thing missing is the funding to run one experiment.

in Technology 613 upvotes 4 months ago

A permanent hair loss solution could involve reprogramming hair follicles to resist DHT using mRNA and siRNA. However, high costs, safety concerns, and the pharmaceutical industry's preference for ongoing treatments over one-time cures are major obstacles, with finasteride and minoxidil remaining standard treatments.

community So we have 20k dollars human like machines available but no new effective treatment for hairloss since finasteride :)

in Chat 237 upvotes 1 year ago

There have been no new effective hair loss treatments since finasteride, despite technological advancements. Current treatments include finasteride, minoxidil, and RU58841, with ongoing challenges and potential future solutions in research.

community Journey against alopecia - Finasteride 3 month

17 upvotes 4 years ago

A 26-year-old man from France started experiencing hair loss in September 2020 and began using finasteride in June 2021, reporting some improvement after three months without side effects. He plans to continue finasteride for a year before considering additional treatments like minoxidil or dermarolling.

community Anyone else freaking out over their barber using those thinning scissors

in Chat 89 upvotes 1 year ago

Thinning scissors can worsen the appearance of already thin hair. Some recommend being clear with barbers and using Minoxidil for hair loss.

community Male (24) Using Dutasteride Since 2020 – Concerns About Having Kids

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 90 upvotes 1 year ago

A 24-year-old male using dutasteride for hair loss is worried about its effects on fertility and future children's health. Users advise consulting a doctor, possibly switching to finasteride, or stopping dutasteride before conception due to its impact on sperm count.
