    TLDR Certain long non-coding RNAs in cashmere goats affect hair growth when treated with a specific growth factor.
    The document presents a study on the role of long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) in the development of hair follicles and villus growth in Liaoning cashmere goats, with a focus on the effects of Fibroblast Growth Factor 5 (FGF5) treatment. The researchers identified two LncRNAs, XLOC_011424 and XLOC_011157, that were significantly affected by FGF5. They found that overexpression of LncRNA XLOC_011424 (LncRNA1) increased the expression of target genes involved in amino acid metabolism and keratin production, which are important for hair growth. The study used RNA-seq sequencing, qPCR, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), and lentiviral interference techniques to demonstrate that LncRNA1 and its target genes are regulated by FGF5, which in turn affects hair follicle development and villus growth. This research provides a theoretical foundation for molecular-assisted breeding of Liaoning cashmere goats. However, the document does not specify the number of animals or samples used, which is crucial for evaluating the study's robustness.

      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.

      community So we’re just ok with taking a research chemical now?

      in Treatment  181 upvotes 3 years ago
      The conversation discusses the use of RU58841, a non-FDA approved research chemical for hair loss, with mixed opinions on its safety and effectiveness. Some users are willing to try it as a last resort after other treatments like Minoxidil and Finasteride failed, while others express concerns about potential long-term side effects and lack of official research.
