Biotin supplements are unnecessary for most people but may help with certain conditions like biotin deficiency, brittle nails, and some hair loss.
research A novel homozygous variant in the dsp gene underlies the first case of non-syndromic form of alopecia
A new gene variant in the DSP gene is linked to a unique type of hair loss.
research Hair and Nail Manifestations of Systemic Disease
Early baldness in men may indicate risks for obesity, metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, and heart disease, similar to women with PCOS. Alopecia areata is often linked with autoimmune diseases and mental health issues. Certain hair disorders are due to genetic issues, and chemotherapy can cause hair loss through specific biological pathways. Iron deficiency's link to hair loss is still disputed.

research Altered hair root gene expression profiles highlight calcium signaling and lipid metabolism pathways to be associated with curly hair initiation and maintenance in Mangalitza pigs
Genes related to calcium signaling and lipid metabolism are important for curly hair in Mangalitza pigs.
research [Translated article] Keys to the Diagnosis of Hair Shaft Disorders: Part II
Hair shaft disorders, often due to genetics or environment, lack specific treatments but can be managed with gentle hair care and may improve with age or topical treatments.
research Proceedings of the Ninth World Congress for Hair Research (2015)
The 2015 Hair Research Congress concluded that stem cells, maraviroc, and simvastatin could potentially treat Alopecia Areata, topical minoxidil, finasteride, and steroids could treat Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia, and PTGDR2 antagonists could also treat alopecia. They also found that low-level light therapy could help with hair loss, a robotic device could assist in hair extraction, and nutrition could aid hair growth. They suggested that Alopecia Areata is an inflammatory disorder, not a single disease, indicating a need for personalized treatments.
research Minoxidil Stimulates Mouse Vibrissae Follicles in Organ Culture
Minoxidil can help grow hair in mice by making cells grow and improving hair quality. More research needed.
