1 mg/day of low-dose oral minoxidil is effective and safe for treating female hair loss.
research The expanding significance of keratin intermediate filaments in normal and diseased epithelia
Keratin proteins are increasingly recognized as important for cell health and are linked to many diseases.
research The Viscoelastic Properties of Chemically Modified alpha-Keratins in Human Hair
Chemical modifications can alter hair's stability and flexibility, with hydrophobic interactions helping maintain structure in humid conditions.
research Role of the ABCA4 Gene Expression in the Clearance of Toxic Vitamin A Derivatives in Human Hair Follicle Stem Cells and Keratinocytes

research Treatment of Male Pattern Baldness with Botulinum Toxin: A Pilot Study
Botox increased hair count in men with baldness and might work by improving scalp blood flow.
research Clinical, trichoscopic, and histopathologic characteristics of patients with alopecia and hypothyroidism: An observational study
Hypothyroidism patients with hair loss typically have thinning hair, smaller hair follicles, and normal hair shedding.
research Cosmetics and Cosmeceutical Applications of Chitin, Chitosan and Their Derivatives
Chitin and chitosan are useful in cosmetics for oral care, haircare, and skincare, including UV protection and strength improvement.
research Effect of shampoo, conditioner and permanent waving on the molecular structure of human hair
Perming significantly changes hair's molecular structure, while shampoo and conditioner do not.
research A Splice Site Mutation in the Gene of the Human Type I Hair Keratin hHa1 Results in the Expression of a Tailless Keratin Isoform
A genetic mutation in the hHa1 gene creates a smaller, but still functional, hair protein without causing hair problems.
research Mutations in the helix termination motif of mouse type I IRS keratin genes impair the assembly of keratin intermediate filament
Mutations in specific keratin genes cause improper hair structure in mice due to faulty keratin protein assembly.
research Topical nitrogen mustard in the treatment of alopecia areata: a bilateral comparison study
Nitrogen mustard was not very effective for hair regrowth in alopecia areata and has potential skin cancer risk.
research Androgenetic Alopecia
PRP and LLLT can improve hair growth in AGA, but more research needed.

PRP is a good alternative or addition to minoxidil for treating hair loss.
research Structural Stability of Wild Type and Mutated α-Keratin Fragments: Molecular Dynamics and Free Energy Calculations
The Glu413Lys mutation in keratin affects hair stability, while Glu413Asp does not.
research Biochemical and Structural Characteristics, Gene Regulation, Physiological, Pathological and Clinical Features of Lipocalin-Type Prostaglandin D2 Synthase as a Multifunctional Lipocalin
Lipocalin-Type Prostaglandin D2 Synthase (L-PGDS) is a protein that plays many roles in the body, including sleep regulation, pain management, food intake, and protection against harmful substances. It also affects fat metabolism, glucose intolerance, cell maturation, and is involved in various diseases like diabetes, cancer, and arthritis. It can influence sex organ development and embryonic cell differentiation, and its levels can be used as a diagnostic marker for certain conditions.
