    TLDR MOF controls key genes for skin development by regulating mitochondrial and ciliary functions.
    The study investigates the role of MOF-mediated histone H4 lysine 16 acetylation (H4K16ac) in cellular functions and mammalian tissue development. Conditional deletion of Mof in the skin leads to severe defects in basal epithelial progenitor self-renewal, epidermal differentiation, and hair follicle growth, causing barrier defects and perinatal lethality. MOF-regulated genes are crucial for mitochondrial and ciliary functions. Deleting Uqcrq, a key subunit of the electron transport chain Complex III, in the skin mimics the defects seen in MOF knockout mice. This research highlights the importance of the MOF/ETC axis in regulating mitochondrial and ciliary gene expression for proper skin development.

      community Why don’t people just just DUT instead of FIN?

      in Finasteride/Dutasteride  48 upvotes 8 months ago
      The conversation discusses the use of dutasteride (DUT) versus finasteride (FIN) for hair loss treatment, with some users preferring DUT for its effectiveness while others choose FIN due to its approval status, better long-term data, and lower risk of side effects. Users share personal experiences with both medications, including side effects and effectiveness.

      A trans man shared progress pictures showing significant hair regrowth after 9 months on oral Minoxidil and 1.5 years on finasteride. He encourages others to stick with their treatments despite initial setbacks.

      The user has been using topical Minoxidil and oral Finasteride for 6 months to treat hair loss, with noticeable improvement. Another user mentioned using unnamed drops for 4 months to successfully reduce a bald patch, but with less effect on a receding hairline.
