    TLDR A protein called GIS3 is important for the growth of root hairs in Arabidopsis by controlling two genes with the help of certain growth signals.
    The study reveals that a zinc finger protein, GIS3, plays a significant role in root hair growth in Arabidopsis plants. The absence of GIS3 resulted in a notable decrease in root hairs compared to the wild type. However, the application of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC), an exogenous ethylene precursor, and 6-benzyl amino purine (BA), a synthetic cytokinin, significantly restored the percentage of hair cells in the GIS3-deficient plants and induced GIS3 expression in the wild type. Further molecular and genetic studies showed that GIS3 operates upstream of ROOT HAIR DEFECTIVE 2 (RHD2) and RHD4 by binding to their promoters. The application of ACC and BA significantly induced the expression of RHD2 and RHD4. The study concludes that GIS3 influences root hair development by directly regulating RHD2 and RHD4 expression through ethylene and cytokinin signals in Arabidopsis.

      The user has been using finasteride, minoxidil, and microneedling consistently for one month to improve hair regrowth. They also use collagen peptides, pumpkin seed oil, vitamin D, biotin, nizoral shampoo, adenosine shampoo, caffeine topical, and rosemary oil as part of their routine.

      The user has been using a minoxidil and finasteride topical solution for 1.5 years without improvement and recently added oral finasteride but still experiences significant hair shedding. Other users suggest trying dutasteride, as some have switched from finasteride to dutasteride with fewer side effects, while others discuss dosage strategies and the effectiveness of topical versus oral treatments.

      The user experienced significant hair regrowth using oral finasteride (1 mg) and oral minoxidil (2.5 mg) daily, with minimal side effects. They also use testosterone to balance any libido effects from finasteride.
