    TLDR Transamidases help form strong crosslinks in hair proteins, crucial for hair strength.
    The 1972 study investigated the formation of iε-(γ-glutamyl)lysine crosslinks in hair proteins and the role of transamidases in hair follicles, focusing on the enzymatic processes crucial for hair's structural integrity. The research provided insights into the biochemical mechanisms of hair protein crosslinking, contributing to the understanding of hair biology and potential implications for hair growth and hair loss treatments.

      A new hair loss protocol using FDA-approved topical treatments targets eight pathways, potentially improving results by 60-75% compared to the standard 40-50% from oral minoxidil and finasteride. The protocol includes minoxidil, finasteride, tacrolimus, cetirizine, bimatoprost, lithium gluconate, losartan, melatonin, NAC, caffeine, and tretinoin, with a monthly cost of $35-50 in Mexico and $80-150 in the US.

      The user is frustrated with hair loss treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, dutasteride, and oral minoxidil, which have been ineffective and caused scalp itching. They are skeptical about these treatments' effectiveness and consider alternative options like ketoconazole shampoo and RU58841.

      A 21-year-old is experiencing hair loss and is unable to use finasteride due to side effects, expressing frustration and depression. Others suggest topical DHT blockers like alfatradiol, spironolactone, and pyrilutamide, and mention using minoxidil and lifestyle changes.
