    TLDR Non-coding RNAs play key roles in the hair growth cycle of Angora rabbits.
    This study investigated the role of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) in the hair follicle (HF) cycle of Angora rabbits using RNA sequencing. Researchers identified 111 long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), 247 circular RNAs (circRNAs), 97 microRNAs (miRNAs), and 1,168 mRNAs that were differentially expressed during the HF growth stages. Validation was done using quantitative real-time PCR, and analyses such as Gene Ontology (GO) and KEGG pathway provided insights into the roles of these ncRNAs and mRNAs. The study also constructed ceRNA networks, identifying LNC_002919 and novel_circ_0026326 as key regulators acting as miR-320-3p sponges. This research highlighted the potential regulatory roles of ncRNAs in hair growth and provided a foundation for further studies on HF cycle regulation.

      A 26-year-old man from France started experiencing hair loss in September 2020 and began using finasteride in June 2021, reporting some improvement after three months without side effects. He plans to continue finasteride for a year before considering additional treatments like minoxidil or dermarolling.

      in Update  10 upvotes 2 years ago
      Hair loss treatments, specifically Minoxidil, Fluridil & Alfatradiol, Nizoral, Saw Palmetto, Hairmetto and Microneedling. The user mentioned they have seen a decrease in shedding and improvement in the quality/density of their hair since using this stack, but opted out of trying Finasteride due to potential side effects.

      Pyrilutamide, a potentially effective hair loss treatment; other topical treatments like RU58841 and CB-03-01 that may have fewer side effects than Pyrilutamide; and the Phase 3 clinical trials of Pyrilutamide, which is likely to be approved by the FDA soon.

      Hair loss treatments, specifically the use of finasteride, microneedling and potentially oral minoxidil. People discussed their experiences with finasteride, its effects on sexual behaviors, as well as potential solutions such as tadalafil or using other growth factor signal peptides for hope in curing male pattern baldness.
