research Alopecia induced in young mice by exposure to excess dietary zinc

10 citations , May 1986 in “Experientia”

This animal study found that second generation mice exposed to excess zinc during gestation and lactation had reduced plasma copper, body weight, and hematocrit, with lighter and delayed hair development compared to mice on a normal zinc diet.

research Premature gray hair development in the interbrow region owing to the loss of maxillary first molars in young mice

February 2024 in “Genes to Cells”

This study observed that tooth loss in mice led to premature graying of hair in the interbrow region, which was possibly due to reduced stimulation of the trigeminal nerve, suggesting that decreased mastication could cause this type of hair graying.

research Impact of a High-Fat High-Carbohydrate (HFHC) Diet at a Young Age on Steroid Hormone Hair Concentrations in Mice: A Comparison with a Control Diet and Nutraceutical Supplementation

November 2025 in “Life”

This study found that switching juvenile mice from a high-fat, high-carbohydrate diet to a control diet optimally reduced hormonal imbalances and weight, with nutraceuticals offering partial support.

research Hair follicle associated pluripotent (HAP) stem cell from young mice have the greatest potential to differentiate to cardiac muscle cells

April 2017 in “Journal of dermatological science”

This study found that the ability of hair-follicle-associated pluripotent stem cells to differentiate into cardiac muscle cells decreased sharply with age in mice, suggesting early stem cell banking for future regenerative treatments.

research Assessing Dihydrotestosterone-Induced Skin Alterations in C57BL/6 Mice: Implications for Androgenetic Alopecia through High-Resolution Ultrasound Imaging

January 2026 in “Frontiers in biomedical technologies”

In this study, high-resolution ultrasound imaging revealed that DHT administration in male C57BL/6 mice leads to increased epidermal and dermal thicknesses and decreased skin elasticity, simulating structural changes associated with Androgenetic Alopecia.

community Woolly mice but no hair growth treatment for humans yet 🤷‍♂️

in Technology 225 upvotes 1 year ago

Hair regrowth treatments are effective in mice but not yet available for humans. The discussion humorously highlights frustration over this disparity and mentions a project to genetically modify elephants to resemble mammoths.

community Baldness Breakthrough: microRNA Stimulates Hair Growth in Aging Follicles

316 upvotes 3 years ago

miR-205, a tiny RNA, can stimulate hair growth by softening aging hair follicle stem cells in mice. Future tests aim to see if this can work in humans.

community Stop wasting your time with BS products

in Treatment 413 upvotes 1 year ago

Effective treatments for hair loss include finasteride, dutasteride, RU58841, and minoxidil. Starting treatment early is important, and users discuss different brands, forms, and side effects.

community South Korea for the win lets go 🇰🇷

4958 upvotes 8 months ago

The conversation discusses hair loss treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, and dutasteride, with some users expressing a willingness to use these despite potential risks. It also touches on societal pressures and discrimination faced by bald men, particularly in South Korea.

community Single stressful event enough to trigger recurring hair loss, study suggests

in Research/Science 224 upvotes 10 months ago

Stress can trigger hair loss, with treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, and dutasteride being used to manage it. Some users report improvement with medications like Lexapro, while others emphasize the impact of stress and life events on hair health.

Can young people get a hair transplant? Yes, but hair transplants are generally not recommended for young people until hair loss stabilizes.
Am I too young or too old for a hair transplant? One published guideline, based on expert opinion, advises waiting until at least 23–25 and trying medical treatment first. There is no fixed upper age, but health and donor supply matter (Mysore et al. 2021).
