Hey Jason,

This is a great question. You might find these two articles interesting – particularly the second one (which addresses exactly what you’re talking about):

I’ve been following a lot of these new theories on mpb. Skull Expansion, gravity, etc. They do a really good job of answering a lot of the questions that the DHT + follicle androgen receptors sensitivity theory doesn’t quite know how to answer definitively. However, the one question the new theories don’t address, relates to hair transplants. The specific question is this: If the expanding skull cuts off the blood supply in some way, why are hair transplants successful? You would think the relocated hair would eventually suffer the same fate as the original hair given that the skull has grown enough to prevent adequate blood supply to reach the affected regions of the scalp. Right? Yet, somehow, the transplanted, even traumatized follicles can reconnect with an adequate blood network of vessels. How is this possible?

Hi,

If this hypothesis has any merits, then you should check out L Plantarum, that has been proved to work as an effective Probiotic against Sepsis.

There is sufficient literature w.r.t L Plantarum and TLR4.

Brown fat (adipose tissue) contains 2 enzymes which neutralise the effects of dht in the scalp. When the brown fat fades so does these enzymes. It seems logical that replacing those enzymes is key

It’s certainly something I’ve been looking into (with the help of other researchers). Firstly, here’s a paper I published regarding galea-based tension as a driver of AGA:

http://www.medical-hypotheses.com/article/S0306-9877(17)31041-1/fulltext

Secondly, with two-dimensional Von Mises models, when we map the galea aponeurotica by its connective points to muscles and simulate contraction, we can reproduce a tension pattern that nearly exactly matches that of AGA progression. Interestingly, when we do this with a reduced head model size, we get equal tension that matches the diffuse thinning pattern to which most women suffer.

Without more information, we can’t say exactly what’s going on. But I’m certainly in agreement that skull shape and muscle size / placement differences in males versus females could explain the difference in the patterning of hair loss.

Best,
Rob

Haven’t seen anything linked to this article yet so I’ll leave it here. Made me stop and think about it a good bit.

As you can see in this video https://youtu.be/DZWUAJJ0P-U, the skull is quite different, especially in the front/ vertex and sides.

I’d like to know your opinion about my observation.

There are many anatomical differences between male skull and female skull. Maybe this is enough to explain the pattern of female baldness using the muscular tension / tight Galea theory.
