research Two novel MBTPS2 missense mutations impairing S2P proteolytic activity lead to IFAP syndrome with new phenotypic anomalies
New mutations in MBTPS2 reduce its function and cause IFAP syndrome with unusual symptoms.
research Perturbations in fatty acid metabolism and collagen production infer pathogenicity of a novel MBTPS2 variant in Osteogenesis imperfecta
A new MBTPS2 gene variant disrupts fat metabolism and collagen production, causing Osteogenesis imperfecta.
research Platelet-Rich Plasma Contains High Concentrations of DKK1, A Potent Inhibitor of Wnt Signaling that Limits Bone Regeneration and Hair Growth
Platelet-rich plasma may not be very effective for bone healing and hair growth due to a substance it contains that blocks these processes.
research Olanzapine-Induced Hair Loss
Increasing olanzapine caused hair loss in a woman, which stopped after changing medication.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Popular hair loss drug linked to higher suicide risk: compared to non-users, finasteride (Proscar/ Propecia) users have a markedly increased risk of depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts. Over 30 years of observation, 19,320 suicides were expected.
Finasteride users may have an increased risk of depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts, though some attribute these issues to hair loss itself. The link between finasteride and mental health effects is debated, with varying user experiences.
community 3 month update - 0.5 Finasteride daily & 1 x Minox daily
User took 0.5mg Finasteride daily and 1x Minoxidil daily for 3 months, experienced positive hair growth and temporary side effects. Recommends sticking with treatment and adjusting dosage if needed.
community My Theory Of Androgenic Alopecia
Hair loss is linked to cellular physiology and the IGF-1 to TGF-B1 ratio, not just androgen sensitivity. The theory lacks evidence, while finasteride and minoxidil are effective treatments.
community Study on Sugar Intake on Male Pattern Hair Loss
Excessive sugar and high-fat diets are linked to male pattern hair loss, with sweet beverages being a significant factor. Moderation in diet is advised, as diet alone may not fully prevent hair loss due to other factors like DHT sensitivity.
community DHT Harms Scalp Microbiome: DHT Itch is REAL
Increased Malassezia and Cutibacterium in the scalp microbiome are linked to higher sebum production and inflammation in androgenetic alopecia (AGA). Treatments include ciclopirox shampoo, benzoyl peroxide shampoo, clobetasol propionate, calcipotriol, minoxidil, finasteride, and dutasteride.
