    TLDR Most mouse hair keratin genes are on chromosomes 11 and 15.
    The study focused on the chromosomal localization of mouse hair keratin genes, which are crucial for understanding hair biology and potentially addressing hair-related disorders. The research was conducted by a team from The Jackson Laboratory and the Hair Disease Research Laboratory at New York University Medical Center. The work was supported by grants from the National Institutes of Health and The Jackson Laboratory. The findings contributed to the broader understanding of genetic factors involved in hair structure and function, although specific details of the chromosomal locations or the implications of these findings were not provided in the summary.

      in Treatment  13 upvotes 5 years ago
      Procyanidin B2, a compound derived from Annurca apples, as a potential treatment for pattern hair loss. Several clinical studies were mentioned, which found that procyanidin B2 could increase hair growth, density, and keratin content. Other treatments such as Minoxidil, Finasteride, and RU58841 were not discussed.

      in Treatment  3 upvotes 10 months ago
      A user shared a hair growth stack using minoxidil sulfate, valproic acid, bimatoprost, blue copper peptide, and other ingredients, emphasizing a gel-based formula for better skin tolerance. Another user suggested adding a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor like finasteride or dutasteride for more effective long-term results.
