research A homozygous missense mutation in the fibroblast growth factor 5 gene is associated with the long-hair trait in Angora rabbits
A specific gene mutation causes long hair in Angora rabbits.
research Genetic basis of skin appendage development
Hair, teeth, and mammary glands develop similarly at first but use different genes later.
research The Basic Science of Hair Biology
Hair disorders are caused by a complex mix of biology, genetics, hormones, and environmental factors, affecting hair growth and leading to conditions like alopecia.
research Characterization of hairless (Hr) and FGF5genes provides insights into the molecular basis of hair loss in cetaceans
Cetaceans lost hair due to changes in the Hr and FGF5 genes.
research Male-pattern hair loss: Comprehensive identification of the associated genes as a basis for understanding pathophysiology
Male-pattern hair loss is largely influenced by genetics, with key genes identified.

User Basic_Football999 discusses concerns about negative dutasteride experiences. Replies suggest dutasteride is effective, but some users may have issues with dosing frequency or genetic factors affecting results.
community Why is dht bad for scalp hair but good for hair on the rest of body?
The conversation discusses why DHT (dihydrotestosterone) negatively affects scalp hair but promotes growth elsewhere on the body. Various opinions include genetic predispositions, differences in hair follicle reactions to DHT, and the potential role of Omega-3 in reducing inflammation and promoting hair health.
community Only Minoxidil 2 Months Before After Photos
A user shared their 2-month hair growth progress using only Minoxidil, noting significant improvement and plans to continue despite a genetic predisposition to baldness. They apply Minoxidil twice daily, experienced a heat rash, and chose not to use Finasteride due to side effects.
community Sunlight: Does it Stimulate Hair Growth or Hair Loss?
The conversation discusses whether sunlight exposure affects hair growth or loss, with mixed anecdotes and theories but no clear consensus. Some suggest moderate sunlight can benefit hair by providing vitamin D, while others doubt its effectiveness compared to treatments like Minoxidil or finasteride.
community The new growth in hair loss research: With increasing evidence of its impact on mental health, scientists are pushing forward with breakthroughs on balding. Later this year, scientists will launch one of the first ever clinical trials with hair follicles grown entirely from stem cells.
Hair loss impacts mental health, with treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, and stem cell transplants discussed. There is hope for future breakthroughs, but current treatments are limited, and awareness is lacking.
